Donald Trump falsely claims Taylor Swift’s endorsement with AI-generated posts – fans react

nme.com:

Donald Trump has shared AI-generated images falsely suggesting he has received support from Taylor Swift and her fans.Last night (August 18), the former President shared a series of posts on his Truth Social account, including screenshots of AI images of women wearing shirts with the slogan “Swifties For Trump”.Another image of the ‘Midnights’ singer edited in the likeness of Uncle Sam read: “Taylor wants you to vote for Trump”, to which he added the caption: “I accept!”It’s a surprising move, given his allies pledged a “holy war” against her earlier this year.

Swift has not officially endorsed any candidate in the 2024 election and is yet to respond to Trump.The suggestion that his campaign is gaining popularity among Swifites has been quickly rebutted on social media, with many clamouring for legal action. “Taylor Swift is gonna sue him so fast, he’ll remember why her last name is swift,” wrote one fan on X/Twitter, with another adding: “what is ACTUALLY wrong with him??

this has to be illegal right??”Check out more fan reactions below:Even by the dismal standards of Donald Trump this is a new low.

All it will do is probably force Taylor Swift to comment and that's not going to be good for him or his faltering campaign pic.twitter.com/SCiSiU12WJ— Martin Williamson (@mogodonman) August 19, 2024Donald Trump just made another mistake by posting this on his truth social.
