    You can fill dozens of libraries with what Trump doesn’t know – or claims not to know, anyway.

  2. He’s too stupid to be president.

    Which is probably why his cult-of-idiots likes him: he doesn’t make them feel stupid

  3. I mean she probably made more on her current tour than Trump has in net worth, 900 million just last year to outspend any lawyer Trump could try and defend against her.

    Trump should be even more afraid of the Swiftie hate he has provoked.

    Her fans were already motivated to vote against him, now that motivation is next fucking level.

  5. What? Our manly man Trumpinator that fought single handily off legions of ninja assassins ( and has the scars to prove it) is afraid of a little girl? Say it ain’t so!

  6. Defamation for sure! Guilt by association and sharing – that’s as much his saying I agree and share it to his followers then to have just avoided it if in fact he didn’t actually create it or his campaign.

  7. I’ve never heard of Taylor Swift or Project 2025, probably just a couple of those coffee boys I fired.”

  8. Trump is so dumb. He truly believes implausible deniability is the same as plausible deniability.

  9. Remind me which asshole said this with regards to the crowd size at a Harris rally: “She should be disqualified because the creation of a fake image is ELECTION INTERFERENCE.””

  10. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://newrepublic.com/post/185242/trump-ai-taylor-swift-images-response-sue) reduced by 72%. (I’m a bot)

    > Donald Trump is trying to brush off the fact that he shared A.I.-generated images of Taylor Swift endorsing his campaign to his Truth Social account earlier this week, now claiming that he doesn't know "Anything about them.”

    > One fabricated image shared by Trump of the notoriously litigious pop star had Swift clad in red, white, and blue, posing like Uncle Sam before an American flag emblazoned with the text: "Taylor wants YOU to vote for Donald Trump.”

    > Still, Trump warned Trimble, "A.I. is always very dangerous.”

    Swift is the queen xenomorph she has swiftie drones ready to strike on command. Trump better be careful before he gets wiped off social media

  12. He realized she probably has more money than he is and will win. He can’t game the system like when he stiffed his contractors.

  13. He’s draining RNC coffers for his legal problems. He can’t afford a fight with someone who has way more money than him.

  14. Ok_Signature3413 on

    He already got scared off by Beyoncé, he doesn’t want Taylor Swift coming for him too.

  15. The_Hot_Stepper on

    I hope she sues him to the wall, right next to all the ketchup stains of Mara Lago

    She could own that place and rebrand it as Swift-zerland

  16. Not a big TS fan, but this particular bit of Trump finding out after fucking around is pretty funny.

    “I don’t know anything about them, other than somebody else generated them. I didn’t generate them.”

    But he “shared” them, which I believe in various legal decisions (around child pornography for instance) has been equated with “publishing” or “distributing”. And he’s not just publishing random links. Somebody who supports him produced these silly but very misleading images. I don’t produce “snuff films”. And I’ve never watched, or had any inclination to watch them. But I also don’t publish them on my twitter account where they 1) are illegal and 2) can cause real harm to real people.

  18. Even if he has a legal defense, being forced to be the one defending “deep-fake a celebrity for political purposes” isn’t going to have good optics.

  19. He didn’t have to have created it. His posting of it would obviously have caused her the night jerk

    > “I don’t know anything about them, other than somebody else generated them,” Trump told Fox Business correspondent Gary Trimble after his campaign event in Asheboro, North Carolina, on Wednesday. “I didn’t generate them.”

    I’m no legal eagle, but isn’t that still pretty damning? Like who cares if you personally generated them? If you knew they were generated, and you still chose to share them as if they were real…

    Anyway, this is, what? About the millionth time since the Trump clown shown started all those years ago that the candidate for the party of “personal responsibility” has broken out the ol’ “I don’t know anything about them/that/it/those/him/her/these/etc” in response to something or someone he’s attached to?

  21. I tell ya, this guy has Presidential Material written all over him! This is the kind of decision making we need in Washington! Making hasty ill-conceived decisions based on emotions, then hiding in fear later when backsplash hits.

    go Don Old!

    /s

    She has a blank space (for people she’s going to sue) and she’ll write his name.

  23. flux_of_grey_kittens on

    I thought using AI images was also election interference? Lol this fuckin’ guy

  24. Knightwing1047 on

    He should be scared and she should sue the fuck out of him. You think Trump has good lawyers? Wait until you see who Taylor has in her corner.

  25. I hope she sues him for billions, refuses to settle, and makes him declare bankruptcy. She’s got the money to sue him into the ground the way he’s sued others.

  26. I hope she puts out a song bc they’ll sing it over and over and he won’t be able to get away from it.

    Any thoughts on good titles for the song… lol
