Taylor Swift has now become assimilated into the leftist Borg. She no longer has a mind of her own — she’s now a group-thinker.

Trump: ‘I like Taylor’s music about 25 percent less’ after Dem endorsement

President Trump had a sassy retort Monday for singer Taylor Swift after she endorsed Democratic Tennessee Senate candidate Phil Bredesen — saying he likes her music “about 25 percent less now.”

Returning to the White House after a speech to police chiefs in Florida, Trump was asked about Swift backing Bredesen against Republican Marsha Blackburn in her adopted home state of Tennessee.

He responded by touting Blackburn, calling her a “tremendous woman” and saying she’s doing a “very good job” in Tennessee as a current member of the House.

“I’m sure Taylor Swift has nothing or doesn’t know anything about her,” the president said. “And let’s say I like Taylor’s music about 25 percent less now, OK?”

True colors time.

She’s finally reached that tipping point where she’s so satisfied with how much wealth she’s accumulated, she doesn’t care about offending anyone anymore.

We’ve seen it over and over and over... “artists” who are quiet about their politics, until they’ve got enough “F.U. Money’.

Her complaints against Blackburn are the same in every Sinema ad here in AZ. I really want to see McSally surge ahead. I cannot abide a Senator who went easy on men who had assignations with young girls. And NO, Ms Sinema, it isn’t good enough to say ‘well, if they looked old enough the men shouldn’t be held accountable (paraphrase) And I don’t care if ‘they looked older than me’ (herself) according to you (her actual words).

So you have to wonder, why?

Who or what caused her, to issue public statements to prove that she is liberal? Why? Why did she feel a need to do this?

What if she gets high five from Hollywood idiots, but sees her fan base shrink? Would it still be worth it?

I wonder if she regstered to the selective service as her democrat thugs want it. After all, women in the military is another abortion agenda.

Good luck to these patriarchy “oppressed princesses” in this brave new world of women as cannon fodder for gay soy boy agendas

It takes a lot of smarts to come out for the losing team at the last minute before their inevitable defeat.

Most of Taylor Swift’s fans aren’t going to be old enough to vote for another five years or so.

She sings and plays the guitar pretty well and is cute. Nevertheless, why the hell should anyone care what she thinks about politics anymore than a plumber, car mechanic or anyone else in Blackburn’s district?

Yeh, and like the Dixie Chicks Taylor thinks she’s too big to fail. Anyone seen the Dixie Chicks lately?

This essay is brilliant in its dissertation on why Conservatism is better for everyone.

This is what rapidly aging pop stars do as a marketing stunt when the traditional hijinks with boyfriends and beefs with other celebrities have run their course.

It is no coincidence that she's saying this only now after she no longer needs country music fans to keep her in champagne and roses. Pop music these days caters to the same demographics as rap or hip hop.

She held out longer than most. But as usual she finally gave into the Hollywood lies.
