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

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.”

Why is the media making a mountain out of some fringe folks worried about her endorsement is the better question…

This is a non story. But you would think it was the center of the universe the way they are making a mountain out of this.

It’s not fringe folks in the maga media. Tucker’s talking about it. Jesse Watters has run whole segments. Yesterday, Jack Posobeic, one of the leaders of the alt-right media, spent all day attacking her on twitter, including posting multiple, 100% fake tweets he claimed were hers. Someone is trying to lead us in that direction, and many are following.

Anything to get the focus off of Jose Biden and get Trump to forget he running against Jose, not TS. She’s distractor bait.

Correct. Most conservatives don’t even know who she is. This is totally media generated.

It's bad enough that people are being elected into high places solely because they play race or communist/socialist cards. If the nation has reached the point where the endorsement of Taylor Swift or an other celebrity can sway an election - then we deserve the feckless government that we have.

You can't fix stupid!!

Ok, let’s not be puzzies here. If Swift wades into the political debate (like I’m sure she will), then she is fair game. The bottom line is this: Is the MAGA cause right and just? If it is, then we have nothing to ultimately fear...not even the political monster known as Taylor Swift and her legions of nightmarish “single women” fans.

I have no love or hate for Taylor Swift, though my daughter thinks the world of her. That said, MAGA folks should just leave her alone.

The more I hear not-conservatives complaining about conservatives complaining about this singer, the more I am convinced that he publicity people started the rumor because they had run out of other ideas.

If they are then they are just idiots.

Either that or they are desperate for clicks and trying to leverage Swifts fame to increase their viewership.

….and there are too many mush brain folks who would help!

Highly overrated!…..
