No, that's what they say, because it's fashionable to say they're Not Like Trump, and Do Not Like Trump. But being able to state and insist on that necessitates caring about what shenanigans Trump is (accused of) pulling any given moment, which is why if you try and ask, you'll get strongly emotional reactions out of approximately everyone. If they genuinely didn't care, they'd roll their eyes or be confused about who the fuck Trump is anyway.
Now, I picked Trump because it's one current politician that approximately everyone on the planet has an opinion about, by virtue of him being the president of the United States, and the United States having nukes and aircraft carriers parked in everyone else's rectums. But beyond Trump and Obama and maybe GWBush, you'll get this reaction when mentioning locally relevant politicians and political structures (like, everyone in the EU has an opinion on "the EU").

Am I? "Don't care what [politician, celebrities] post [on Twitter]" is a distinctly tech-bubble attitude. Normies outside of the bubble are busy throwing shit about their current misinterpretation of a social media article misinterpretation of a misquote of a local politician, and/or commenting under reaction videos to some pathological YouTube vlogger reacting to the newest pathology on TikTok.

In a global audience, very few people care at the moment. That won't change until he comes back into office and starts to use these nukes.
I encourage you to actually interact with native people on the street the next time you go on a trip abroad. It is very rare to find someone interested in US politics that doesn't live in the USA.
American pop culture, which is what I consider Tylor Swift to be a part of, continues to have strong influence globally. Though that's also on a diminishing trend - mainly because their productions have been getting way worse over the last decade (at least wrt movies and TV shows)
/Edit: we've also gotten quite offtopic with this discussion, because being interested in trump is something very different to caring about what he writes on Twitter
Fair enough RE offtop. For the sake of clearer context, however, I want to add that I'm Polish and live in Poland (though work with international teams, mostly non-US), and my statements about relevance of US politicians to regular non-US folks was written from that perspective and daily experience.
