Trump Falls for AI-Generated Taylor Swift Fans in Bizarre Endorsement Claim

Donald Trump shared fabricated images indicating that Taylor Swift fans are supporting his presidential campaign on Sunday.

The former president posted screenshots from social media accounts on Truth Social, showing women in “Swifties for Trump” shirts. However, many of these images were produced by artificial intelligence.

“The Swifties For Trump movement is real!” remarked one X user in a post shared by Trump, featuring a photo collage clearly marked as “satire.”

One manipulated picture even shows Taylor Swift, who has historically criticized Trump and supported the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020, dressed as Uncle Sam with the message, “Taylor wants YOU to VOTE for Donald Trump.”

“I accept!” Trump commented without clarifying whether he was referring to the AI-generated images or Swift’s faux endorsement.

Out of the photos in the post, two were authentic, showing Trump supporter Jenna Piwowarczyk in a “Swifties for Trump” shirt at a Wisconsin rally.

Swift, who has been central to a recent right-wing conspiracy theory involving her, her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce, and President Joe Biden, has not endorsed any candidate for the 2024 election.

Recalling the 2016 election, Swift said Trump’s victory had “completely blindsided” her and has openly criticized him during previous election cycles.

In 2020, she condemned Trump’s response to the Black Lives Matter protests, stating, “After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump.”

She also criticized Trump’s “calculated dismantling” of the U.S. Postal Service that August, accusing him of putting lives at risk to retain power.

Swift fans reportedly hope she will make an appearance at the Democratic National Convention this week, according to a CNN report. However, sources have noted that notable speakers are still being finalized for the event in Chicago.
