Donald Trump made it painfully clear to the world this evening that he has absolutely no shame and all the audacity when he made a point to slam Billy Ray Cyrus’ own daughter as “such a liberal,” right to his face, during a Nashville bitcoin event where he made an appearance.
The scandal-plagued and felony-convicted former president and Republican 2024 presidential nominee was the keynote speaker at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, today, where he wasted no time in not-so-humbly bragging about all the celebrity and other notable names out in the crowd, some of whom were also there to speak, all of whom are planted firmly in his MAGA camp. This included the likes of musician Kid Rock, former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul.
In that same rambling schpiel, Trump noted that country music star and former judge on NBC’s The Voice was out in the crowd, before almost instantly taking a slam at Cyrus’ daughter, world-renowned musician Miley Cyrus, right to Billy Ray’s face.
“Billy Ray Cyrus is here, where is Billy Ray, he’s around here someplace,” Trump bragged, adding in a quick boast about the country genre musician performing at the funeral of former firefighter Corey Comperatore, who lost his life in the shooting at Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania, rally, with a bullet that was intended to assassinate the ex-president.

Finally appearing to get a location on Cyrus, Trump addressed the musician directly as he began to rant, “He’s a conservative guy. I said, ‘How did you get such a liberal daughter?’ How had that happened, Billy Ray?”
Donald’s rude quip earned him some laughter from the crowd, though the local television station camera that was recording the event unfortunately didn’t manage to capture Billy Ray’s reaction to the joke at his daughter’s expense.
Miley Cyrus has long been a vocal and prominent critic of the former president, both before and after he won the 2016 presidential election, and at one point even went so far as to vow to leave the country but ultimately changed her mind.
Donald Trump eagerly accepted the invitation to speak at the Nashville conference, which was described by CBS News as “the biggest bitcoin conference of the year.”
