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.

    A lawsuit will not affect him. If he wins, he becomes a dictator. If he loses, he remains Teflon Don until he’s forced to flee to Russia.

    If Taylor Swift wants justice, she needs to mobilize the Swifties.

    New Trump Strategy:

    Appear a victim of an “uppity woman” (that translates to a woman that has power & money on her own means) and then transfer that victimization to being from Harris.

    Trump’s team has gone into syndication.

    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.

          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

          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.

    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.

      His base is shrinking by the day. He’s not winning over any new fans with his tired bullshit, and he’s alienating thousands more

    Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies that can’t complete a coherent sentence is too far gone to realize this is fake. It’s sad and embarrassing at this point. He should drop out and seek treatment for the dementia.

    Here’s a thought; I don’t see why libel and slander suits cannot be applied to AI generated content.

    Sue his pants the rest of the way off.

      Came here for this. This has got to result in a law suit. And I can’t wait to see Taylor clean the floor with him. And Kamala, for that matter.

      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.

        I think you might be round-about almost quoting Mark Twain?

          Not intentionally. I was trying to say the difference between a convenient lie for his own MAGA people and one which might actually come back to bite him in the ass.
