Trump Privately Grouses He's 'More Popular' Than Taylor Swift
rollingstone.com
"Behind the scenes, Trump has reacted to the possibility of Biden and Swift teaming up against him this year not with alarm, but with an instant projection of ego. In recent weeks, the former president has told people in his orbit that no amount of A-list celebrity endorsements will save Biden. Trump has also privately claimed that he is ‘more popular’ than Swift is and that he has more committed fans than she does.”
“Last month, the source close to Trump adds, the ex-president commented to some confidants that it “obviously” made no sense that he was not named Time magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year — an honor that went to none other than Swift in December.”
Trumpet is the most fragile man-child in existence.
Stop insulting man-childs. He's worse.
Taylor Swift is internationally liked and considered a pretty business savvy person, especially for an artist, with all the moves she made to make her music her own again by re-rerecording it.
Trump is an international laughing stock and considered an absolute conman and fraudster who got rich victimizing the rich and poor alike, with all the charity scams, taking dirty money from Russia and reporting fake values for his properties to sucker banks into lending to him.
While he's at least equally well known, it's not because he's popular or liked. It's because he's a big fat orange flag.
Her business move to re-record her old album supposedly had the music industry looking into amending all of their contracts. A lot of living older artists could do it and free their art from the claws of MBA grads.
The first band I ever heard about doing it was Def Leppard over a decade ago. Sucks that artists even have to consider than as an option.
Don’t forget convicted rapist and traitor!
We didn’t, just the corporate news outlets.
Just to be clear Donnie, you have more fans that should be committed. It's a subtle difference, but an important one.
I mean, he's not wrong, in the sense that swifties won't like, murder you
Some might but definitely less than some of trumps fans.
Some of them may murder for Taylor.
I mean, he's not wrong, in the sense that swifties won't like, murder you
Yeah, he got his fans to march on the Capitol, and then get arrested for it, and a whole bunch of those still support him. Not saying there aren't Swifties that would go to insane lengths for her, but Taylor hasn't tested her fan's loyalty at that level, at least not yet.
I would love to see Taylor Swift at a concert in DC. After the concert, Taylor tells her fan "Tonight, we march on the capital. I am your new Queen."
And so begins The Diamond Age!
He has bigger tits, too.
What we need to do is start a rumor that Biden is considering replacing Harris with Swift as his new running mate.
When asked, the WH just has to say "no comment".
It would be best troll ever.
Someone leak it to the daily mail, they'll take any story
And then Biden tells Trump:
"You need to come down.
You being too loud."
I mean...he is right on the 'more dedicated fans' part. her fans just scream like idiots and buy merch. His kill for him.
I'm not so sure Taylor's fans wouldn't kill for her... but she seems like a decent person, so I'm also not worried about it.
100% can confirm that my peace loving wife would straight up kill someone threatening Taylor.
I bet if Taylor Swift insinuated that someone should die/pay/suffer, I'm confident there would be a few swifties that take it too far, and kill for her. But she's more responsible than Trump to do something like that.
I mean, he isn't wrong. I'm currently in Taiwan and nobody talks about TS, but talks about how much Trump is an idiot. So I guess he is more popular, but for the wrong reasons.
Is that popular or infamous?
I guess a little of both. He was an American president. People here love Obama too. Some people here have never heard of Tay Tay.
Wouldn't it be great if the entirety of her fan base took umbrage and turned his campaign into a grease stain on the rolls of history? Quick someone goad him into saying she sucks and her music is bad in a campaign speech lol.
Michigan Stadium holds 107,000 people. If Donald Trump and Taylor Swift each held an event there with a $40 ticket price, which would sell out first?
Swift would probably sell out with $500 tickets.
I was trying to give Trump a chance at drawing more than a crowd of about 50 people.
I have some coworkers going to Japan soon for meetings. Apparently they’re competing with a Taylor Swift concert for finding a decently priced hotel.
Somehow I do not think this would be an issue if it was Trump.
I did that in Detroit last year. Lucked out by getting an airbnb. Hotels were so crazy expensive. Streets basically shut down, full of people before and after the concert
Last time I saw she was in town parking around her venue was $80-120
Lol he wasn't more popular than Joe Biden, and Joe was a hard sell for a lot of US Democats. No question Taytay takes the W here.
He's probably got a point about the "more committed fans" bit, though.
I bet theres at least a few swifties ready to die for her.
He wasn't even more popular than Hillary Clinton.
Yeah but John Lennon is more popular than god
He actually said The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. John was 1/4 of the Beatles so that makes him more popular than say 4 apostles. That makes him more popular than the apostles James, Paul, John, and Ringo. Ringo was an apostle, right? Peace and Love?
And everyone still forgot about Rufus.
Such a fucking petulant child. Embarrassing.
Idk. One of them, despite not caring about them, I can understand why people like them.
The other is a rapist.
The chosen pic has Swift looking like she has a hefty camel toe
Yeah why isn't there a trump pic.
Seems unpopular.
I want to pleasure myself to pictures of Trump's cameltoe
As you wish…
This does not spark joy
What have you done
No.
Is that a bad thing?
No
Trump doesn't do anything "privately".
Just because he hasn't blathered on about it nonsensically in incomplete fragments of word salad YET, doesn't mean it won't be the main thrust of his speech to the next gathering of idiots who come to hear him speak.
This is the exact type of thing that Trump speeches are filled with; random asides about how much better/popular/cognitive/etc... he is compared to his "detractors".
Swift 2024!
Okay, I don't know that she would make a bad president, but without knowing more I wouldn't support a run. On the other hand, I think she should respond to Trump's comment by running as a write-in candidate on all the rest of the Repubilcan primaries. You know, just to find out who is more popular.
I find that the most dependable way to make sense of Trump's statements is to start with the presumption that, contrary to the physical evidence, he's actually about 10 years old.
Like with this one - just imagine him as a fat, spoiled little 10 year old, out on the school playground at recess, dejectedly kicking at rocks and whining.
You give him too much credit

I'm pretty much the same person I was in first grade. But by the time I was in first grade I'd learned how to be kind and polite and work with other people and wait my turn and that you don't touch people unless you get permission.
Challenge her! Make sure your people is there to see it. Cuz you might get embarrassed.
I think it'd give this election an extra tinge of the surreal for him to challenge the Swifties to go to the polls. I heard only people with big hands would do that though.
Lol. No he's not. It's not even close.
Eh, you'd hope that voters wouldn't be swayed by celebrity endorsements. But I guess Trump doesn't make the distinction between political popularity and overall popularity.
AnusMouth could not help himself, could he?
Pathetic creature and general failure of mankind. One day, his cult followers will realize and dear god, the hurt and embarrassment will be of such a scale that psychiatrists will have jobs for decades. It will be known as "The Great Mental Restoration Project" and the methods used and developed specifically to repair these morons will be taught in classes all over the world.
Seriously, the mental condition of his cult base will spark a whole separate branch of conditions and therapies in psychiatry.
I couldn't have said it any better myself, I fully agree with you.
Jeanine Pirro is a dangerous whack-job
If this is true, he is a sadder sack of shit than I thunk.
Weak sad man
LMAO, LOL, ROFL, PMSL and any other Internet shorthand one can think of to succinctly describe the pathetic hilarity of this stale wotsits unearned ego.
More well-known, perhaps. Which I'd expect as he was the PRESIDENT! More popular? More well-liked? Hardly.
Weird flex, but ok.
Step aside Kamala, Biden has a new VP - Taylor Swift!
With Marjorie Taylor Greene maybe.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
That hasn’t stopped members of MAGAland’s upper crust from plotting to declare — as one source close to Donald Trump calls it — a “holy war” on the pop mega-star, especially if she ends up publicly backing the Democrats in the 2024 election.
Last month, the source close to Trump adds, the ex-president commented to some confidants that it “obviously” made no sense that he was not named Time magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year — an honor that went to none other than Swift in December.
“Joe Biden might be counting on Taylor Swift to save him, but voters are looking at these sky-high inflation rates and saying, ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,’” Trump campaign senior advisor Jason Miller said in a statement to Rolling Stone.
Fox News host Jeanine Pirro — who’s acted as an informal political adviser to Trump, including during his presidency — warned Swift to stay out of 2024: “Don’t get involved.
Former GOP presidential hopeful and current Trump hype man Vivek Ramaswamy took to Twitter following the latest Chiefs’ playoff win to claim that unnamed forces would rig the Super Bowl to give the as-yet nonexistent endorsement from the “artificially culturally propped-up couple” increased visibility.
Voters aren’t fools,” John McLaughlin, a top pollster for Trump, says, in response to Rolling Stone’s questions regarding Swift.
The original article contains 1,014 words, the summary contains 222 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I kinda wish they’d both just go away.
He does what? That is definitely not a word.
Really Trump? Are people making AI porn of you?
I guess more men would like to get into Taylor Swifts' pants than into Trumps'.
Lol..I wouldn't be surprised if it's true...I was watching this video about this American dude traveling through India...and, he's like in the middle of nowhere and these Indian guys, who could barely speak English...were like "you're American? Go Trump!"
Who's the bigger polluter tho?
Every time Trump opens his mouth, pollution comes out.
Trump wins, but she's at a disadvantage because he was president and you have to include what happend during his time in power.
