Trump Makes Liberal Media MELT DOWN With Post About Taylor Swift
Former President Donald Trump sent the liberal media into a tailspin on Monday by sharing satirical posts of Taylor Swift endorsing his 2024 presidential campaign.
The images, reposted on Trump’s Truth Social platform, featured AI-generated visuals of “Swifties for Trump” T-shirts and even portrayed Swift herself as Uncle Sam, captioned “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump.”
Trump’s playful acceptance of the “endorsement” from Swift, while clearly marked as satire by the original poster, Amuse, was disavowed by many of the superstar singer’s fans and left-wing news outlets alike.
The posts from Trump come after the cancellation of a Swift concert that was reportedly targeted by ISIS, which Amuse spun into a parody narrative boosting Trump’s image as a preferred leader during turbulent times. The satirical jab at a “Swifties For Trump movement” racked up over 1.2 million views.

“I accept!” Trump jubilantly declared in his repost, igniting a firestorm of media coverage and social media debate. Earlier this month, Swift’s Vienna concerts were canceled after Austrian police thwarted a terrorist plot targeting the events. Two individuals were detained, including a 19-year-old who reportedly pledged allegiance to ISIS, in connection with plans to disrupt major gatherings in Vienna.
In 2020, Swift threw her support behind Biden and Harris in the duo’s campaign for the White House.
PROGRAMMING NOTE: As you might assume from my X handle, from time to time I will use satire to make a point or just to get a laugh. When I do I will mark it 'satire' in two places. I include the 'satire' tag on the graphic and in the ALT text. pic.twitter.com/zsipyy3By7

They were clearly jokes. He was trolling. They were marked satire.

There’s a reason why you’re laying everyone off and going bankrupt, it is because you continue to post lies and communist propaganda.
There is a large group of Trump supporters that are also Swifties and at no point did he state that Taylor Swift was supporting him.
Liars.
