Donald Trump Falsely Claims Taylor Swift’s Endorsement with Garbage AI-Generated Posts
The post Donald Trump Falsely Claims Taylor Swift’s Endorsement with Garbage AI-Generated Posts appeared first on Consequence.
Donald Trump bizarrely and falsely claimed an endorsement from Taylor Swift on Sunday via a series of AI-generated images posted to his Truth Social account.
One of the images depicts a photoshopped picture of Swift dressed in an Uncle Sam-style outfit reminiscent of classic military recruitment posters, with text reading, “TAYLOR WANTS YOU TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP.”
Additionally, Trump shared a fake news article that falsely claimed Swift’s fans are “turning to Trump” following a recent terror plot targeting her concert in Vienna, Austria.
The collage of posts also featured AI-generated photos of women wearing “Swifties for Trump” t-shirts.
Trump captioned the collage with the words, “I accept!”
To be clear, Swift has not endorsed any candidate for president in the 2024 election. However, in the 2020 election she endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. “The change we need most is to elect a president who recognizes that people of color deserve to feel safe and represented, that women deserve the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that the LGBTQIA+ community deserves to be acknowledged and included,” she told V Magazine of her decision at the time.
Swift also criticized Donald Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as his stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism throughout his entire presidency, and encouraged her fans to “Request a ballot early. Vote early.”
Trump also commented on Swift earlier this year. In an interview with Variety editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh for his book, Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass, he questioned whether the pop singer was actually a liberal, saying, “It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal.”
