I’ll just leave this here.
is the guy reloading his finger pistol?
Loading more cheese?
This is such a bad move for his campaign, this is going to force her to release a statement, if she doesn’t sue.
She probably wasn’t going to endorse any candidate since that’s the smart move as an entertainer… but I wouldn’t be surprised if she just endorses Harris very publicly now to get ahead of any stain on her reputation.
He is about to find out what a REAL rabid fanbase looks like. Swifties are fucking crazy yo.
Edit: OOH! Someone generate some fake BTS endorsements so that he pisses off Kpop Stans as well!
Look, Trump might be a fascist, but there are lines you don’t cross.
He wants the endorsements of celebrities sooo bad. 😂
What? You mean Rob Schneider, Keven Sorbo, and Kid Rock aren’t turning out crowds for him?
Lets not forget Hulk Hogan

This is hilarious he is going to force a Swift - Harris endorsement where she might have remained silent
Exactly this. If Taylor swift gets the swifties to the polls it’s game over.
And he might get sued as well which would be the cherry on top
I mean I would be stunned if this doesn’t result in a lawsuit of some form. This is a pretty messed up (and unbelievably dumb) thing to do.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this part of their “big plan” to deal with her. The Trump campaign is scared shitless of her, and blame her for motivating young voters as one of the reasons they lost 2020.
Not too smart, but not much they do is.
Using AI to take away a woman’s agency and force an image of her to do what you want?
Trump feels free to do it and to do it publicly. It’s weird as all hell.
When you’re a celebrity, they let you do it.
Everyone has seen his act time and time again.
Step 1: Falsely accuse someone you don’t like of doing X.
Step 2: Do X.
It even works when you reverse the order of the steps!
it’s the whole republican party that does this.
GOP:
Gaslighting.
Obstruction.
Projection.They should print that on T-shirts
Trump thinks Swift is still a country star.
less than 3 months until donny becomes politically irrelevant
It’s not over until it’s over. It could still go terrifyingly wrong.
This feels like a very foolish move. I do not know the relevant law at all, but surely it’s some kind of illegal to falsely use someone’s face to claim their political endorsement? And it’s not like Taylor Swift is somehow lacking in either the financial clout to sue over it or the PR clout to turn it around
If this fucking walloper wants to ruin his own campaign then that’s more than fine by me. I’m just surprised by what seems like such an obviously poor move
All true but there is likely a portion of his base who follows nothing regarding Taylor Swift, only passively knowing who she is.
(That’s me, and I’m not part of his base. I give zero fucks about Taylor Swift. Everything I know about her is through passive acquisition.)
They’re not going to care enough about her to hear the retraction. If anything it’ll be some vague thought that even liberal star elites like their guy with no follow up.
From what I understand, Taylor Swift was offered big time FTX money but her parents are competent legal professionals who reviewed the contract, recognized that SBF was selling dangerous unregistered securities, and advised to stay the fuck away from that shit. I think she may have been the only celebrity who avoided that dump truck of money to protect her fans and her brand.
Not someone I’d fuck around with. (also remember when Evermore theme park tried suing lol)
That’s his superpower. No matter how low your opinion of him gets he can always find a way to surprise you with how shitty he can be.
Can he always go lower? Yes. Does it ever surprise me? No.
If I was an attorney for Taylor Swift, I might argue that the campaign needs to have their assets frozen because who knows what other fraudulent or illegal activity the campaign could be engaging in. Guys like trump do this type of thing because their expectation is that they’ll get away with it.
Honestly, poor political moves seem to be all the man is capable of. And his base (unfortunately) always seems to have just enough cognitive dissonance to eat it up and pivot/shift the goalposts.
More and more, I come to the conclusion that the only way forward is to stop fighting them, and instead focus on strengthening us.
The one thing MAGA republicans have in spades is a sense of unity and community, which is something we on the left need to foster (instead of infighting and segmentation).
Donald, You need to calm down. You know all too well there’s some bad blood between us. Never in your wildest dreams would I endorse the smallest man/hands that ever lived.
Now look what you made me do, don’t blame me if my fans try some vigilante shit. This isn’t a love story, it’s karma, and you’re guilty as sin.
So shake it off and stick to campaigning in Florida, it’s only August after all.
You’re on your own kid, -T
Weird old man tries to stay relevant.
That is good! He will piss off Taylor Swift with that move, who will turn the Swifties towards Harris.
Are there really swifties that are Trump supporters? I mean, probably, but like, come on
That’s not the point. She could easily tap the biggest voter resource - the non-voters - by asking her fans to go and vote. Imagine a horde of switfties registering now and then voting in November…
asking her fans to go and vote.
I don’t follow her at all, but I was under the impression that she did this already.
Well, you can just “say something” and you can really bring a message home if you have the influence.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to never underestimate the spread of TSwift’s influence. Never.
The big thing it might do is mobilize the squirrels to hide…
I swear I typed “Swifties to vote” but my phone decided "squirrels to hide"was better.
in my experience, most things will mobilize the squirrels to hide
How the fuck is there no consequences for this?
Because a bunch of assholes started screaming ‘theres a guy on the roof!’
because it’s been like… a second
there very well might be consequences- taylor swift probably isn’t too pleased, and she has the money to sue… but law suits take time
They do take a very, veeery long time when it comes to this guy. Thats for sure.
They figured out that lawsuits take longer than the election news cycle, so they can get away with the misinformation long enough for their purposes. Even if they were to get a C&D order quickly, it may have reached enough people that matter to them, and by the time they get any actual consequences the election is probably over.
Sure, but lawsuits are not her only recourse. She could actively endorse Kamala, for instance, and that would be terrible for Trump.
Maybe it would, but there’s a chance that, given contradictory info, people pick and choose what they want to believe and all she’ll really do is neutralise the effect. There will also be some set of people that the first ad reaches but the second doesn’t. For some people, it will just undermine their faith in “the media” - “can’t believe anything these days” - which also may play into the hands of those thriving on deception and misinformation.
All in all, it’s a gamble, but I’m not confident that it will be a net loss for them.
Sure, anything could happen. I think Taylor Swift has enough money and reach to make herself heard if she really wants, in a way that leaves no doubt. Yes, people will pick and choose, but if they’re choosing to believe Taylor Swift supports Trump, they aren’t dealing with reality anyway. Those people were going to vote for Trump no matter what because they look for every little sign of support for Trump, no matter how ludicrous it is.
The fans will be the consequence. He stepped in something that’s not just a lawsuit he can delay. He just pissed off all the Swifties who are very aware of her repudiation of the GOP and Trump. He may have just sent the DNC thousands of new volunteers.
“TYLER SWEFT DID A VOTING FOR TRUMP!!! VERY TRUTH!!! SAD!!! NICE!!!”
