Trump Warns Taylor Swift Will 'Pay' For Harris Support

The morning after his first presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump turned to friendly territory by calling into Fox & Friends. But co-host Steve Doocy still had a question for Trump that he probably wouldn’t like: Did he hear about Taylor Swift endorsing Harris?

Almost immediately following the end of the debate on Tuesday, Swift posted her endorsement of Harris on Instagram, imploring her followers to do their own research and vote; she endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020. She also cited the faked AI images of her that she was supporting Trump, which Trump and his campaign shared.

She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it at the, in the marketplace.

Doubtful

Wiping her eyes with hundred dollar bills on her private jet.

Screaming into her cash stuffed pillow rn lol

Hey! That's the cat's pillow!

Well it used to be the cat, before her show in Ohio.

Then millions and millions of illegals ate it.

At least these illegals were able to get tax payer funder tran surgeries.

I dunno man. She barely broke a billion dollars on the eras tour after Biden. Surely this will be the one to completely ruin her.

It doesn’t even matter. Even if Taylor Swift never makes another dollar, she’s still set for life.

Pretty sure she's richer than trump

Fucking clickbait title... He said she would pay IN THE MARKETPLACE. It makes it sound like he's actually threatening her.

If her MAGA fans don't like her endorsements that much, they would have stopped supporting her when she endorsed Biden last time.

Also, why do conservatives claim to hate cancel culture but embrace it when anyone opposes them?

"That's a boycott, not cancelling someone! It's completely different!"

--Actual response I got to that question a few years ago.

Was that their response about The ~~dixie~~ Chicks?

"That was 20 years ago, who even remembers."

Well, Leon did threaten to rape her for endorsing Harris…

Fucking clickbait title… He said she would pay IN THE MARKETPLACE.

Swifties got mad when Tool unseated her at number 1 IN THE MARKETPLACE. I doubt very much that Swifties are gonna care about the distinction.

Yeah but the title makes it sound like it was a threat, rather than just a statement that she is going to lose money as a result of her statement.

Trump is garbage, but the title is garbage too.

This reeks of IN MINECRAFT, though, and we all know how mentally unstable and trigger-happy some in his cult are. This will almost certainly lead to death threats against her, if not actual plots.

e: not saying it isn’t clickbait, it totally is

everyone on r/conservative are losing their tiny little minds trying to understand why Swift would endorse a candidate who is promising to take more taxes from her. it's like they literally can't comprehend being a decent person who cares about and supports her country and fellow human beings, so it MUST be a conspiracy.

Besides, what's the point of having "fuck you" money if you never say "fuck you"?

These dimwits have so much information available about WWII and still cannot figure out why it is a bad idea electing a bigoted authoritarian wannabe who already did a little insurrection.

No, you misunderstand. Those dinwits want the US to turn into an authoritarian dictatorship

I wouldn’t try to paint Swift as a decent person

But economically, the stability that Harris provides is better for the rich than the tax cuts Trump promises

And market predictions back that up

Not a Swiftie by any means but I do remember hearing she paid out fat bonuses to every employee on her tour the other year and it made me think better of her

Its tricky because she also benefits Everytime she does stuff like that. The motivation is suspect. People are wary of american greed for a reason but her story is barely even started so who knows. People grow and change.

She's decent for a filthy rich person

She must be... if only because so many people want to hate her, that someone would find it.

She'll just shake it off

No bad blood there

Its not like everything has changed

(Promise im not a swiftie, I just like puns)

If Trump wants to start canceling musicians that don’t support him, then maybe he should stop playing all their music at his rallies

Or creating AI generated images of said artists pretending that they are supporting him

You mean start paying?

She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it at the, in the marketplace.

If she always does this, why would she "pay the price" this time and not the previous times?

Conservatives are not serious people. They are profoundly unintelligent, dangerous authoritarians who lack even basic humanity.

Trump: Well, I actually like Mrs., I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift, and it was just a question of time. She couldn’t, you couldn’t possibly endorse Biden. You look at Biden, you couldn’t possibly endorse him. But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it at the, in the marketplace. But no, I like Brittany. I think Brittany is great. Brittany got a lot of news last week. She’s a big, she’s a big MAGA fan. That’s the one I like much better than Taylor Swift.

Ramble much?

Hahaha! Now Mahomes is going to have to release a statement denying this, and very likely endorsing Harris in the process. This guy just cannot shut his mouth.

Not likely. Brittany Mahomes is a Maga moron and a shitty person.

I can't stand celeb gossip but heard the rumor she liked a trump tweet or something, did that turn out true? Unverified? Or is there more shit on brit i haven't heard yet?

I hear her ex Jake Gyllenhaal has a pool guy that’s way into Trump. Why are we not talking about that?!

I was not a Taylor Swift, and it was just a question of time.

Wise words.

True. He was not a Taylor Swift.

Just wait till he realizes Biden is not running for president.

And just wait until he realizes that Americans care more about Taylor Swift than one of her boyfriend’s exes.

What's not to understand? He's not a Taylor Swift, and he still thinks he's running against Biden.

Wait until Trump finds out she played soccer and calls her either gay or a Marxist because of it.

Lmao he’s gonna go after the swifties now? One of the most devoted fan bases of a musical artist of all time?

That’s a bold move, cotton. Let’s see how it plays out.

Could be worst. Like attacking a K Pop band.

I would LOVE to see him attack BTS, and have to face the Swiftie Brigade combined with the BTS Stan Army.

They'd end up DDOSing both Twitter and Truth Social

Most websites are not equipped to handle the crush of the k-pop stans. I've been on the receiving end of one professionally and it took down our entire environment before we ever had a chance to tell Cloudflare to buckle the fuck up.

Nobody's made a worse strategic move than going to war against the USA and the USSR at the same time... until now!

Next he’ll attack Beyoncé and the beyhive and swifties will unite and bring about the glorious revolution we all crave!

She could lose 10 million listeners (she won't) and still have 85 million listeners on Spotify alone.

You’re right she won’t but more importantly this may actually cause a lot of kids to confront the “me vs parents” view they have lived with. (Edit - “me vs parents” = my views vs what my parents say and think)

My dad always says “this” about democrats and how republicans are right because of “that”.

This will hopefully cause people to think of Swift is endorsing her then I should look into why. There are plenty of people who don’t pay attention to politics not because they are intentionally absent from it, but because it’s just not in the realm of consciousness. This may change that.

A long winded way to say, "Hopefully, this gets people off their ass and to begin to give a shit about our collective future."

But I agree. I hope this causes politically-disengaged people to reckon with (frankly) what amounts to their willful ignorance, at this point.

That’s an incredibly good point. And I appreciate you not calling me, specifically “long-winded” even though I absolutely am. :)

I’m beginning to think the orange man is fucked. Everyone, find 5 people to go with you to the polls.

5 people to go with you to the polls

Rookie numbers. I heard some people are bringing in entire busses of immigrants to vote

You're gonna need a lot of pets to feed a whole bus load of immigrants!

I hope they give them some snacks...

That's illegal in some states. I wish I was joking.

What? Which states are denying immigrants food?

Genuine question, I tried searching but couldn't find anything

Giving food/water to people in line or on their way to vote is probably what they are referring to.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/nov/08/liquid-death/giving-water-voter-within-150-feet-ga-polling-plac/

Alright that's some fucking fascist bullshit, water should be a human right

Especially since the folks who benefit from some water because they are in line for hours are usually the ones with not enough polling places, as in urban districts which typically vote democrat.

Yeah, its definitely fascist bullshit.

no wonder they have to eat pets then...

I'm voting by mail as soon as the ballot comes and then I'll spend election day in the mountains far from service.

Host: “they have Taylor Swift”

Trump: “oh yeah, we have the ex wife of someone she’s dated”

Trump really said she is going to lose the racist crowd for this lol. There isn't a day when he isn't attacking someone or making an excuse?

To be perfectly honest I think she herself would chalk that up as a net win.

Her lawyers are probably better than his. And her money too.

And some of her money are now her lawyer's money, which is always good for your relationship with the lawyers...

It's not fair when you keep good lawyers just because you pay their invoices.

Stochastic Terrorism

Noun

the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted.

One of those swifties gonna pop a bitch

Except if you read the article, that's not at all what is happening here. The title is just click bait garbage, just like trump is dishonesty garbage too.
