From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

A video showing Donald Trump behind the wheel of his Rolls-Royce while listening to Taylor Swift has resurfaced years after it was filmed.

Axios has dug up the footage which was posted to the Facebook page of Melania Trump in December 2014.

The 19-second clip does exactly what it says on the tin - it shows the future US President listening to Swift's single 'Blank Space' while driving his car in eerie silence as son Barron - then eight - sits in the passenger seat and Melania sits in the back filming.


She captioned the video: “Fun night with my two boys DJT & BWT.”

Of course, it remains unclear why Swift is being played. Could the Trumps have been playing her album, the then-newly released 1989? Or perhaps Swift was just getting airplay on the radio.

Whatever the scenario, we'd like to think that even Trump cannot deny that 'Blank Space' is a banger.
