Donald Trump is trying to brush off the fact that he shared A.I.-generated images of Taylor Swift endorsing his campaign to his Truth Social account earlier this week, now claiming that he doesn’t know “anything about them.”

    The law suit isn’t what matters. He’s got a massive collection of those already and it won’t matter until it all eventually catches up to him assuming he fails to get elected.

    What matters is that if he pissed Taylor off enough she might actually endorse Harris openly. We know she leans blue but she’s refrained from open endorsements. Her fans are absolutely crazy and she could probably sway a bunch of Republicans easily. This is great.

      I find it hard to believe that anyone who votes Republican will care enough about Taylor Swift’s influence to change their vote, but I can absolutely believe that her endorsement would swing the numbers in a big way if she just motivates politically apathetic Swifties to go to the polls.

        Perhaps, but Swift’s endorsement might encourage people who were otherwise unlikely to vote.

          It’s always been about turnout. When you have like only 60% of voters going to the polls, a spark of inspiration can be way more important than attempting to convince current voters to sway.

        It might even be a “normie” to “activist” pipeline.

        That’s hard to predict. On one side, Trump convinced people that he won an election he lost, and committed violence in his name.

        Maybe Swifties will phone bank?

        Young adults in republican families would def switch vote.

        Republicans show the effect that peer pressure has on them with their insane belief that people undergo gender reassignment surgery solely because of liberal peer pressure. Republican swifties (assuming there is such a thing in the first place?) would absolutely vote Kamala if Taylor told them to.
