I don’t know why anyone thinks this guy is weird.

Also, is pissing off the Swifties the best of plans, Donnie?

      Let me get this straight, you think that Taylor Swift, one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in the world, with legions of loyal fans, is not going to retaliate against your public lies?

      Good luck.

      I legitimately would love to hear the planning process for their whole AI idea. It’s absolutely astounding. Like he’s just giving up and now going for “most sued ex-president of all time” to add to his other list of shitty firsts.

        It’s just a couple of chubby, bearded, young incel dudes he hired off 4chan, they all probably look as unimpressive as the “Q-Anon Shaman” looks without his getup. Their planning was “lelelel look I feed the AI thus funny prompt lets use it!”

        The planning process was Elon released an unfiltered image generator that will reproduce real people and Donald has no impulse control.

      Yeah, but there are lies and then there are lies.

      Trump normally just lies. Today, he lied about Taylor Swift. That is a lie lie.

          People who think it’s okay to worship billionaires of any kind, because it’s impossible to have personal wealth that large and not be a total asshole under the covers.

    Does Donald Trump, the convicted felon rapist racist, really want Taylor Swift to publicize again to him about how much she champions for human rights, advocates for the LGTBQ+ community, adovcates for abortion rights, and hates the corrupt fascism and conservatism poisoning the U.S.?

    Right before an election, too! Sure, Diaper Don, let’s get the Swifties angry again and let’s have them vote Democratic in droves. That’s a community you should really piss off!

    Desperate Diaper Don, beloved friend of Jeffrey Epstein, is desperate once again.

      Yes, but now he thinks she loves him.

      Remember, he picked a running mate who called him America’s Hitler before he started brown nosing. I can absolutely see this moron thinking that Swift suddenly went MAGA.

        Trump lives in his own reality, where he is a billionaire genius, and Taylor Swift and her fanbase loves him.

        In our reality, he’s a traitor insurrectionist, rapist, racist, liar, fraud, corrupt, sexist, convicted felon, asshole, degenerate, Fascist, and heavily-indebted moron. And Taylor Swift hates him.

        He’s even stated as much, just not recently. It was about his tax cuts for the rich, and how she would have to love him for all the money he sent her way.

        It makes sense, given that he’s never known a love that he hasn’t had to pay for.

    He’s trying to retake the news cycle, like a week too early. The democratic convention will bury this story, and will potentially cause Taylor to back Kamala this week and I think Trump will be permanently out of the news.

    The only way this actually works is if Swift backs Trump. Which I doubt, I hope.

      This would be the perfect impetus for Kamala’s team to reach out to Taylor and offer her a platform at the convention to denounce this action by Trump. If I was in her team that’s what I’d be doing.

    This is strategically dumbest move he can make. Taylor Swift has been relatively quite for a while now regarding politics and now either she or her publicist is basically forced to respond to this. My best guess is Trump is trying to stir the pot to get any kind of attention but this isn’t it.

      Republicans have already blamed (credited?) Taylor Swift for election losses, simply because she told people to vote. Not for telling people vote for/against any particular issue, candidate, or office. Just to go vote.

      She has immense power, but that power may not be easy to control.

        I can’t imagine most of the Swifties are already old enough to vote? Aren’t they like 8-16 mostly, with a couple of “young at heart” 20-somethings strewn in? No idea if I’m totally off here, I don’t know much pop culture.

          Many swifties are well above that age I’m in my early twenties and she was becoming popular when I was in elementary school.

          Edit: She also released her first album the year I entered school.

          You’re totally off. Remember she’s been producing hits for about 20 years. So that teenage demographic has grown up, she continually gets the younger demo, but they never seem to leave. My wife and all her friends, at 35, are a bunch of die hard swifties. Her reach is immense

    This goes back to his comment on how he could shoot someone and not lose any votes. He can do absolutely anything to trick normal folks to vote for him because it will not change one single vote from his base and he can count on them to argue that what he does is fine or whatever.

          The problem for Trump is there is a third shadow candidate in the race called “did not vote” so it doesn’t really matter than his main base would vote for him regardless.

          If he fakes Swift’s endorsement and she comes out and roasts him and fires up her base to vote, the amount of votes he gains by trickery will be really small while the amount of people Swift converts from not voting to voting against Trump will be larger.

          And there’s actually some data to suggest Trump is losing part of his always-red base and the rats are abandoning a sinking ship at the moment as well.
