Donald Trump Falsely Claims Taylor Swift’s Endorsement with Garbage AI-Generated Posts
To be clear, Taylor Swift has not endorsed any candidate for president in the 2024 election cycle. Donald Trump Falsely Claims Taylor Swift’s Endorsement with Garbage AI-Generated Posts Scoop Harrison
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
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).
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.
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)
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.
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.
The images. Trump is pathetic.
And as we all know... Swifties sure love commenting on Truth Social.
🙄
This dude is just so, so desperate. Future historians will have to go through all this garbage.
This is one of the most pathetic things I have ever seen. I still cannot believe a massive cult of dimwits worships this loser.
I'm surprised I haven't seen any "trump for Harris" generated images yet in this thread. Maybe with a news article about Trump finding Trump's VP pick weird and how he can't stand Trump rambling about Trump, low energy, something something.

It'd mean having to give money to Musk
It takes a certain type of weird to like AI cringe.
I saw a cursed image yesterday. Kamala heavily pregnant, with Don looking down hand on belly, like you do when trying to feel the baby kicking.
The uncle Sam image is clearly AI, but the pictures with people in "Swifties for Trump" shirts look real. But there is a "satire" tag on one of them...
Either he believes the images are real, or he knows they are fake and is trying to meme a little. Either way he is a moron. If this forces Taylor's hand to either disavow Trump or just straight endorse Harris, he's cooked.
The blonde girl with a ponytail in the top right and bottom right look like real photos from a rally. The other photos of groups of people with the “Swifties for Trump” shirts all have the plastic sheen and soft background that’s indicative of AI. If you start zooming in there are little oddities here and there that also make them look generated.
So I’ll buy there is one girl out there with her own shirt who got photographed twice at the same event, but I don’t believe any of these other photos for a second.
Another lawsuit to take away the last of the money he might have. He's clearly burning all bridges and preparing to bug off to Russia, NK, or Chyyyyna.
Given that the AFU are currently on a bridge detonating campaign, that might strand Trump there. I think when I say this, I speak for many Americans, sounds great!
My money’s on Saudi Arabia. Prince Bonesaw is a golf buddy of his, and doesn’t he have a Trump Tower in Riyadh?
No idea, but good call.
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.
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.
There'd better be a Swift response.
^^^Sorry ^^^not ^^^sorry.
How the fuck is there no consequences for this?
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.
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.
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.
Because a bunch of assholes started screaming 'theres a guy on the roof!'
Don’t mess with the Swifties, Donny. Of all the dumb shit you’ve done you’re really playing with fire now.
Forget the Swifties. Don’t mess with Taylor herself. Donald has stepped in it, and now Taylor is all but required to correct the record.
There's a certain irony in sending out your VP to call any woman without the requisite 2.3 kids a "cat lady", then turn around and announce to a credulous base that America's most famous cat lady just gave you her endorsement.
I feel like I'm stating the obvious here, but this seems so off-the-charts guaranteed to backfire on him. What even mild Swiftie isn't going to figure out (or hasn't already) just how fake this endorsement is? Of any celeb to fake, Taylor seems like a such a flamingly dumb choice in terms of the fandom's social media engagement.
With all these increasingly stupid moves... Is he really that detached and senile, or is there more behind his [team's] style of psycho-political warfare going on?
I don't think I've seen it pondered anywhere on social media, so I must ask: Does it not seem like Trump is purposely trying to throw the election at this point? If that's the case, I fear the heightened degree of nefarious intent for whatever guaranteed political unrest we will face in November. I don't think this is baseless conspiratorial thinking on my part, unfortunately.
Or ... Or ... Maybe his patently obvious mental decline has eroded away just enough of his super-sized ego to let in juuust enough reality for him to consciously recognize that he is going to die soon whether he likes it or not, and now he doesn't give a shit-a-minute if he wins anymore. Can you imagine?
I don't think he's trying to throw the election. I think he's a tired old man struggling as he's faced with a crowd increasingly tired of a schtick he's been running for almost a decade. I've said it before but I think people want new material, and he's too old and set in his ways to reinvent himself. He's tossing out the same old classics, but they're not hitting like they were in 2016, and it vexes him. And this is not the first time it happened, either. I didn't know this, but it was pointed out that after the first hit season ratings of "The Apprentice" quickly plummeted over the years. Trump struggles to keep interest once the novelty value wears off.
On top of that, yes, he is clearly and obviously deteriorating mentally and it's a huge indictment to the media that nobody is giving that the same attention they gave Biden's decline. Even MSNBC (who's openly anti Trump) isn't really focusing enough on his cognitive decline.

People should be more concerned about his vice presidential choice than they were McCain's. There is a high likelihood that the oldest nominated candidate from a major party will not survive his entire term and it'll be president JD power & associates.
Think back to Hillary Clinton.
Unfortunately (or not in this case) it's entirely possible to just flub a candidacy.
I've been waiting for Taylor Swift to jump in. Unless there is something I don't know, she's rather strongly in favor of less bullshit and more support for people, and for positive lasting change. There is every ch...y'know what? Fuck it. Imma predict:
Swift is going to come onto social media demonizing Trump, tearing down this false endorsement, endorse Harris, AND make a personal request for her fans to get out and vote.
I have wondered the same - is he so afraid of losing that he's throwing the race?
He's clearly been primed to use bogus generative AI content to help his campaign. But in typical Trump fashion he's managed to heavy-handedly hamfistedly botch it.
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.
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
If there's one thing I've learned, it's to never underestimate the spread of TSwift's influence. Never.
Yea like a shitload of religious people that just do as they’re told and vote as they’re told by their tax exempt pastor.
I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented,” he said. “I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!
FOR ONCE. IN YOUR FUCKING LIFE. DON'T BE WEIRD.
Impossible
Boomer falls for deep fake endorsement from someone who hates him.
He's practically too old to be a boomer.
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's the whole republican party that does this.
GOP:
Gaslighting.
Obstruction.
Projection.
They should print that on T-shirts
It even works when you reverse the order of the steps!
I’ll just leave this here.
is the guy reloading his finger pistol?
Loading more cheese?
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
The popcorn factories have doubled their shifts in anticipation
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.
Her team retaliated about someone tracking her private jet with public data .
Everybody hated that
Time to sue for Libel. DJT could only dream of having lawyers as good as Taylor Swift has. I sense another multi-million dollar money judgement coming.
"TYLER SWEFT DID A VOTING FOR TRUMP!!! VERY TRUTH!!!!! SAD!!!! NICE!!!!!!"
Trump thinks Swift is still a country star.
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
Shameful of Trump.
Weird old man tries to stay relevant.
Whelp now we need an IRL endorsement from her I would be surprised if she doesn't say something after the nomination
The lights go down at the DNC. A hush falls over the crowd. Smoke machines start billowing from the center of the stage as a lone figure rises up from below.
"I'm the real Taylor Swift, and I'm endorsing Kamala."
Can’t wait for the new racist Republican single “Champagne Progroms”
