Trump risks backlash as MAGA world zeroes in on Taylor Swift
The Hill ^ | 02/02/24 5:30 AM ET | BY JULIA MUELLER

Posted on 02/03/2024 2:53:32 AM PST by RandFan

Former President Trump’s supporters are going after Taylor Swift amid chatter about whether the superstar could wade into the 2024 election with a coveted endorsement for President Biden.

Conservatives in both traditional media and social media have been launching conspiracy theories against the pop superstar, something that ramped up after The New York Times reported that the Biden campaign was actively hoping for her endorsement.

Trump, who is usually not shy about speaking his opinion, so far has stayed out of the fray, though Rolling Stone reported this week that the former president’s allies are pledging a “holy war” against Swift, especially if she sides with Democrats in November.

Vivek Ramaswamy, a former presidential candidate who has thrown his support behind Trump, is perhaps the most high-profile Republican to go after the singer so far, stoking theories that the NFL is rigging football games for Swift’s Kansas City beau as Democrats look for her endorsement.

“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” Ramaswamy wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”

“Former President Trump’s supporters are going after Taylor Swift amid chatter about whether the superstar could wade into the 2024 election with a coveted endorsement for President Biden.”

I don’t think Taylor Swift is a problem at all, and she will not endorse Joe Biden. I sure her managers would let her know she would besmirch her reputation for all time.

Some governor needs to send busloads of illegals to her neighborhood.

“The Rock” even has enough sense to stay away from Joe Biden.

Other than that, I have never seen the appeal of Taylor Swift. She has a B level voice, compared to, say, Olivia Newton-John.

I could simply care less about this silly twit as she is nothing more or less of a silly twit than a lot others in the entertainment field. I will continue to enjoy my vinyl and tape and CD collection of jazz and classical and country and also a jazz station I listen to online and also a classic country show on Sunday mornings on the local country station here. And again, I could simply care less about this person and her music and her boyfriend and her politics and other things about her and I’d dare say Trump probably has the same sort of view.

Instead of putting her down maybe it would be best to turn her on to MAGA. Make this a teachable moment.

I think like 100% of her fans vote D anyway. Big lefties.

But, hey, I’m not a billionaire celebrity or tech mogul so I’m voting for someone else.

The media is whipping up this controversy to keep focus away from the bungler in chief. We have seen it too many times. Who cares about Taylor Swift or Kelce? This has media whipping cream all over it.

She endorsed Biden four years ago and has put out a lot of nasty stuff about Trump for all that time. Who cares? I’m from KC and conservative and people can support whoever they want.

I hope she follows the example of Travis’s brother and his wife, that is, get married and have a couple of nice kids — they have both worked hard and should have life’s rewards. However, she and he are leftist and will probably be publicly promiscuous for two years and then get messed up on drugs.

She’s swanning around with Mr. Pfizer.

She’s another Deep State handmaiden.

LOL! I read a comment last year someone made about her song “Shake it off” that it would fit in perfectly with a Weight Watchers commercial. My God, it does! LOL LOL! Shake off the weight, Weight watchers shake drinks. Her crap is total commercial garbage.

They aren’t conspiracy theories.

They’re spoilers.

Are Swift’s fans even old enough to vote?

Single women love Taylor Swift. This is a major communist voting bloc that needs to be energized if they want to win.

But now Taylor is supposed ro be getting married.

If she does Trump should publicly make an offer for her to attend his rallies to speak about the positive aspect of youmg women getting married
as opposed to just having out-of-wedlock babies by disappearing fathers.

If she accepts he wins.

If she refuses he wins just by having publicly made the offer.
