    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.

      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.

          This ain’t ‘general’ anymore.

          I don’t think she’ll be quite as vitriolic but I also don’t expect this to fall under “don’t ever rock any boats for any reason” especially as someone with enough money to leave if need be.

      Think back to Hillary Clinton.

      Unfortunately (or not in this case) it’s entirely possible to just flub a candidacy.

    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

    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.

    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.

      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.”

    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.

    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.

    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.
