    Welp…. that was a mistake.

    And, fans aside, this seems like a pretty good way to piss of a REAL self made billionaire.

    One of my favorite things about Trump posting stupid things is how bad it is for politics.

    Like 100% of it plays to people who are already safe votes, and he delights in driving away “Fence sitters” because he despises anyone who is not totally loyal to him.

    But those undecided people are exactly who he needs to actually win anything. His basic instincts are the exact opposite of good politics.

    When a normal politician is told “You are performing badly with Women voters under 40”, they think “Oh, I should try to find a way to appeal to that demographic”. When Trump is told that, he goes “Those bitches! I will show them!” and posts something overtly offensive to punish them for not liking him.

    His base loves this, but nobody else does.

  3. Again with the AI created images!

    The reason he’s so eager to accuse Harris of AI crowds is because so many of his posts and pictures are AI-generated.

  4. This has to be massively illegal right? I mean it’s like if Amazon used a pic of Taylor Swift saying “I want you to buy stuff from Amazon!” as a commercial. No difference. 

    She’d be able to sue Amazon to hell for that, why would this be any different?

    Wasn’t he just bitching when he lied and said that Kamala was using AI to bolster her crowd sizes then going as far to say that using AI is election interference

    Now he pulls this

    This is funny because he was just crying about how he thinks Harris was using AI to boost her campaign, which she wasn’t. This guy is such a whiny loser.

    I hate hate hate hate hate that a top candidate for president is using fake images for propaganda. 20 years ago this would be a big deal, and now all anyone cares about is the reaction from Taylor.

    I can’t wait until Taylor officially announces support for Kamala, and Trump can’t do anything about it.

  9. Any candidate that uses AI is election interference and they should be disqualified.

    -DJT, like a week ago.

    It’s called unlicensed appropriation of likeness. And it’s actionable in all 50 states.

    What a dumb move. At this point, Swift has kept her mouth shut about the election. By falsely claiming that she’s in favor of him, it gives her reason to come out and say she’s not.

    “*Seemingly*” fake pictures? Really? Well shit, the sky is seemingly blue, 2+2 seemingly equals 4, and my shit seemingly stinks. What is this headline?

  13. To the Swifties I say: “Good, good, let the hate flow through you” – Emperor Palpatine

  14. “Seemingly fake”? Why would somebody think even for a second that they’re not fake? What kind of stupid headline is that.

  15. SEEMINGLY???… Fucking hell that headline. You can call shit that is overtly fake AI gen fake. There is not a descriptor to smooth the edges of this. The media’s attempts to draw every issue back into some middle ground so as not to offend conservatives is wild right now.

  16. What do they mean seemingly? There’s nothing seemingly about it, it’s all blatantly ai and Photoshop bullshit.

  17. What’s with the soft-ass bullshit in the headlines? 

    “Seemingly fake”, “Falsely claims”, etc. 

    THESE ARE AI IMAGES. They are demonstrably bullshit and he’s lying out of his ass.

    Stop kiddie-gloving this shit-riddled orange gibbon.

    Trump assumed he could make things up as he typically does, and low-information voters would just believe it. It’s worked well so far for him.

    However! Taylor Swift fans worship the ground this lady walks on and follow her every move. You aren’t slipping a fake endorsement past them. It’s weird to even try.
