Dixie D'Amelio recently deactivated her Twitter account, causing the online community to speculate that she might be a Trump supporter.

The 19-year old recently announced her decision to leave the platform.

Her resolution happened to coincide with President Donald Trump's Twitter account getting suspended permanently. It resulted in several fans assuming that the TikTok sensation was allegedly taking a stand of solidarity by deleting her account too:

As criticism began to mount online, Dixie D'Amelio issued a clarification online by denouncing her alleged support of Trump and stating that the reason she deleted her Twitter account was due to excessive online hate:

"I don't f*****g support Trump. I've said it 100 f*****g times. The reason I deleted Twitter was because I spend way too much time reading hate. My timing was just awful, lol."

Despite online personality's clarification, the suddenness of her decision coupled with the unfortunate timing led to a barrage of reactions online as fans called her out for being an alleged Trump supporter.
