He’s clearly been primed to use bogus generative AI content to help his campaign. But in typical Trump fashion he’s managed to
heavy-handedlyhamfistedly botch it.Might I recommend the word “hamfistedly”? It’s honestly a wonderful word to use about a lot of things that come out of the Trump operation.
Excellent suggestion, thanks.
It’s an awfully small ham. Butterfingers might fit, but doesn’t really have the same ring.
What more could you expect from Halfwitler™
I’m a bit amused to have come up with a new Trump insult after so many years. Run with it!
Eight fucking long, miserable years, and I still find nicknames I haven’t heard before.
Kudos to you, sir/madam/meat popsicle (as applicable)!
I was kinda proud of this one. I called him halfwit Hitler one day and realized I could just smoosh em together
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’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.
Generally speaking, its bad for business to show your partisan colors.
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.
I have wondered the same - is he so afraid of losing that he’s throwing the race?
Think back to Hillary Clinton.
Unfortunately (or not in this case) it’s entirely possible to just flub a candidacy.
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.
Weird old man tries to stay relevant.
Shameful of Trump.
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.
Everybody hated that
I’ll just leave this here.
is the guy reloading his finger pistol?
Loading more cheese?
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.
Her team retaliated about someone tracking her private jet with public data .
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.
Given that the AFU are currently on a bridge detonating campaign, that might strand Trump there. I think when I say this, I speak for many Americans, sounds great!
The other week he said he’d naff off to Venezuela.
OMG, I would LOVE to see that! He wouldn’t last a whole day
My money’s on Saudi Arabia. Prince Bonesaw is a golf buddy of his, and doesn’t he have a Trump Tower in Riyadh?
No idea, but good call.

There’d better be a Swift response.
^^^Sorry ^^^not ^^^sorry.
Trump thinks Swift is still a country star.

It’s not over until it’s over. It could still go terrifyingly wrong.
This feels like a very foolish move. I do not know the relevant law at all, but surely it’s some kind of illegal to falsely use someone’s face to claim their political endorsement? And it’s not like Taylor Swift is somehow lacking in either the financial clout to sue over it or the PR clout to turn it around
If this fucking walloper wants to ruin his own campaign then that’s more than fine by me. I’m just surprised by what seems like such an obviously poor move
If I was an attorney for Taylor Swift, I might argue that the campaign needs to have their assets frozen because who knows what other fraudulent or illegal activity the campaign could be engaging in. Guys like trump do this type of thing because their expectation is that they’ll get away with it.
That’s his superpower. No matter how low your opinion of him gets he can always find a way to surprise you with how shitty he can be.
Can he always go lower? Yes. Does it ever surprise me? No.
Honestly, poor political moves seem to be all the man is capable of. And his base (unfortunately) always seems to have just enough cognitive dissonance to eat it up and pivot/shift the goalposts.
More and more, I come to the conclusion that the only way forward is to stop fighting them, and instead focus on strengthening us.
The one thing MAGA republicans have in spades is a sense of unity and community, which is something we on the left need to foster (instead of infighting and segmentation).
All true but there is likely a portion of his base who follows nothing regarding Taylor Swift, only passively knowing who she is.
(That’s me, and I’m not part of his base. I give zero fucks about Taylor Swift. Everything I know about her is through passive acquisition.)
They’re not going to care enough about her to hear the retraction. If anything it’ll be some vague thought that even liberal star elites like their guy with no follow up.
From what I understand, Taylor Swift was offered big time FTX money but her parents are competent legal professionals who reviewed the contract, recognized that SBF was selling dangerous unregistered securities, and advised to stay the fuck away from that shit. I think she may have been the only celebrity who avoided that dump truck of money to protect her fans and her brand.
Not someone I’d fuck around with. (also remember when Evermore theme park tried suing lol)
That is good! He will piss off Taylor Swift with that move, who will turn the Swifties towards Harris.
Are there really swifties that are Trump supporters? I mean, probably, but like, come on
That’s not the point. She could easily tap the biggest voter resource - the non-voters - by asking her fans to go and vote. Imagine a horde of switfties registering now and then voting in November…
asking her fans to go and vote.
I don’t follow her at all, but I was under the impression that she did this already.
Well, you can just “say something” and you can really bring a message home if you have the influence.

Yea like a shitload of religious people that just do as they’re told and vote as they’re told by their tax exempt pastor.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to never underestimate the spread of TSwift’s influence. Never.
The big thing it might do is mobilize the squirrels to hide…
I swear I typed “Swifties to vote” but my phone decided "squirrels to hide"was better.
in my experience, most things will mobilize the squirrels to hide
