Trump’s AI stunt backfired on him.

I’m surprised she endorsed so early!! I expected it in October which is when she endorsed Biden, but glad this way it’s well before the deadline to register- especially because this will be a fair few of her fans’ first election.

Trump’s team’s response:

’The Trump campaign dismissed Swift’s endorsement, with spokesperson Karoline Leavitt saying: “This is further evidence that the Democrat party has unfortunately become a party of the wealthy elites.’

Nevermind that he was all for the fake AI endorsement.

👏 I know little about her, and she could’ve been a republican for all I know, but this is great news. In terms of fame and reach and popularity, I can’t think of anyone better to endorse Kamala.

As if they wouldn't all have been giddy with excitement if she'd endorsed him.

I think perhaps she was waiting to see how Harris performed in the debate, or perhaps that was coincidence, I’m not sure.

’Taylor Swift has endorsed Kamala Harris for president, in a post on Instagram published minutes after the US presidential debate, saying the Democratic candidate would be the “warrior” to fight for the rights and causes she believes in.’

And also this:

’Swift also addressed AI-generated images shared by Donald Trump in late August that falsely depicted Swift and her fans endorsing his campaign for president.

She said: “It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.”’

I'd imagine the timing is related to the fake AI endorsement for Trump, plus she's currently on a few weeks' break from her tour. Her post also encourages people to register so is well before the deadline. And postal voting opens in just a couple of weeks as well.

Good points, I think you’re right as well.

I had to look up what you meant xD Or is this not what you’re referencing 🤔

“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats … they’re eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame,” the former president said.
The story of migrants allegedly eating pets has circulated in rightwing media in recent days and been repeated by Trump’s running mate JD Vance.

The facts: These are false and unsubstantiated claims.

“You bring up Springfield, Ohio, and ABC News did reach out to the city manager there. He told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community,” moderator David Muir told Trump.

Indeed! It's a double reference. One for the single cat ladies smear and one for Trump's allegations that immigrants are eating people's pets. He's off his gourd.
