Donald Trump claims he made Taylor Swift “so much money”

Donald Trump has claimed that he’s made Taylor Swift “so much money” in her career.The former US president made the statement in a social media post Sunday (February 11), in an apparent response to reports that Joe Biden is seeking endorsement from the pop star to swing the next election.“I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists.

Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform.“There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money.”Trump added: “Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!”While Trump signed the Music Modernization Act (MMA) into law in 2018, Swift wasn’t a major beneficiary.Without commenting on electoral politics…1) Taylor wasn't really a huge beneficiary of the Music Modernization act.

It mostly targeted songwriters who weren't successfully collecting mechanical royalties and pre-1972 artists who weren't getting paid for satellite radio plays.
