On Trump, Twain said, "I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest."
"Do you want straight or polite? Not that you shouldn’t be able to have both. If I were voting, I just don’t want bullshit. I would have voted for a feeling that it was transparent. And politics has a reputation of not being that, right?" she added.
Given Twain's LGBTQ fanbase and Trump's push against transgender people serving in the military, elimination of lesbian and bisexual health info, and the ignoring of LGBTQ issues on the White House website — it's fair to say Twain's comment didn't impress people much.

With songs like "Man! I Feel Like a Woman," Twain has developed quite a following from the LGBTQ community, and has been vocal about her stance on LGBTQ rights and marriage.
"I just feel very saddened by any kind of oppression in our society in today's day and age. I mean, it’s so negative," she told Pride Source last year.
"Equality should be a no-brainer, automatic, all the way around. We need to have mutual respect all the way around. Supremacy of any sort is just poison. I just feel like we’re not above each other in any way and mutual respect and an admiration for an individual's abilities, talents, heart, commitment — I mean, what does that have to do with any minority status that we might be labeled with today, whatever that may be? Certainly, I know that gays feel that."
