Responding to a viral video depicting ICE officers allegedly harassing Latino workers, Nancy Sinatra, 85, made her sentiments clear. She stated, “This is not my father’s America. He would be devastated. Trump is so wrong in so many ways.” In a separate exchange, when a follower suggested that Frank would have admired Trump, Nancy firmly rebutted, insisting that her father “loathed Trump.”
Historical Context of Sinatra’s Political Views
This is not the first instance of Nancy defending her father’s legacy regarding political alignment. In 2017, after hearing of plans to use Frank’s iconic song “My Way” at Trump’s inauguration, she advised people to consider the song’s opening line: “And now, the end is near.” However, she also articulated a wish for Trump’s presidency to succeed, emphasizing that no one aspires to be a poor leader.

- According to Sinatra’s former manager Elliot Weisman, Frank instructed him to convey a blunt message to Trump: “go f* himself.”
- This incident illustrated Sinatra’s strong feelings toward Trump even before his presidency.
Support for Sinatra’s viewpoint has also come from others in the entertainment world. Mia Farrow, who was previously married to Frank, tweeted, “Frank Sinatra would have loathed Donald Trump.” Nancy quickly responded to reinforce that her father indeed had negative feelings toward the former president.
Changes in Sinatra’s Political Associations
Frank Sinatra’s political affiliations evolved significantly over his lifetime. Initially, he was a passionate Democrat, supporting President Franklin D. Roosevelt and advocating for civil rights.
