Nancy Sinatra Defends Late Father Against Trump Support Claims

Nancy Sinatra has firmly denied claims from Trump supporters that her late father, Frank Sinatra, would have supported Donald Trump, emphasizing that such assertions do not reflect his true beliefs. The denial came after a troll posted a doctored image of Frank Sinatra in a MAGA hat and claimed he would back Trump, prompting Nancy to respond sharply on social media. According to Eliot Weisman's book, Frank Sinatra had a notable conflict with Trump in 1990 over performance fees and Trump's demands, which ended with Sinatra refusing to perform at Trump's casino and telling Trump to "go fuck himself." Fans and commentators have largely sided with Nancy, agreeing that Sinatra, known for his progressive stances earlier in life and later friendships with Republicans like Ronald Reagan, would not have supported Trump. Nancy has urged people to understand her father's life and values before making political assumptions. Despite the controversies, Frank Sinatra’s music continues to receive acclaim, with his "Ultimate Sinatra" compilation recently spending 350 weeks on Billboard’s Traditional Jazz Albums chart.
