The morning after his first presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump turned to friendly territory by calling into Fox & Friends. But co-host Steve Doocy still had a question for Trump that he probably wouldn’t like: Did he hear about Taylor Swift endorsing Harris?

Almost immediately following the end of the debate on Tuesday, Swift posted her endorsement of Harris on Instagram, imploring her followers to do their own research and vote; she endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020. She also cited the faked AI images of her that she was supporting Trump, which Trump and his campaign shared.

    She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it at the, in the marketplace.

    Doubtful

    Fucking clickbait title… He said she would pay IN THE MARKETPLACE. It makes it sound like he’s actually threatening her.

    If her MAGA fans don’t like her endorsements that much, they would have stopped supporting her when she endorsed Biden last time.

    Also, why do conservatives claim to hate cancel culture but embrace it when anyone opposes them?

      “That’s a boycott, not cancelling someone! It’s completely different!”

      –Actual response I got to that question a few years ago.

      Swifties got mad when Tool unseated her at number 1 IN THE MARKETPLACE. I doubt very much that Swifties are gonna care about the distinction.

        Yeah but the title makes it sound like it was a threat, rather than just a statement that she is going to lose money as a result of her statement.

        Trump is garbage, but the title is garbage too.

      This reeks of IN MINECRAFT, though, and we all know how mentally unstable and trigger-happy some in his cult are. This will almost certainly lead to death threats against her, if not actual plots.

    everyone on r/conservative are losing their tiny little minds trying to understand why Swift would endorse a candidate who is promising to take more taxes from her. it’s like they literally can’t comprehend being a decent person who cares about and supports her country and fellow human beings, so it MUST be a conspiracy.

      I wouldn’t try to paint Swift as a decent person

      But economically, the stability that Harris provides is better for the rich than the tax cuts Trump promises

      And market predictions back that up

          Its tricky because she also benefits Everytime she does stuff like that. The motivation is suspect. People are wary of american greed for a reason but her story is barely even started so who knows. People grow and change.

    Trump: Well, I actually like Mrs., I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift, and it was just a question of time. She couldn’t, you couldn’t possibly endorse Biden. You look at Biden, you couldn’t possibly endorse him. But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it at the, in the marketplace. But no, I like Brittany. I think Brittany is great. Brittany got a lot of news last week. She’s a big, she’s a big MAGA fan. That’s the one I like much better than Taylor Swift.

    Ramble much?

    If she always does this, why would she “pay the price” this time and not the previous times?

    Conservatives are not serious people. They are profoundly unintelligent, dangerous authoritarians who lack even basic humanity.

        I would LOVE to see him attack BTS, and have to face the Swiftie Brigade combined with the BTS Stan Army.

        They’d end up DDOSing both Twitter and Truth Social

      You’re right she won’t but more importantly this may actually cause a lot of kids to confront the “me vs parents” view they have lived with. (Edit - “me vs parents” = my views vs what my parents say and think)

      My dad always says “this” about democrats and how republicans are right because of “that”.

      This will hopefully cause people to think of Swift is endorsing her then I should look into why. There are plenty of people who don’t pay attention to politics not because they are intentionally absent from it, but because it’s just not in the realm of consciousness. This may change that.

        A long winded way to say, “Hopefully, this gets people off their ass and to begin to give a shit about our collective future.”

        But I agree. I hope this causes politically-disengaged people to reckon with (frankly) what amounts to their willful ignorance, at this point.

      Except if you read the article, that’s not at all what is happening here. The title is just click bait garbage, just like trump is dishonesty garbage too.
