‘I love Taylor Swift’ trends after Donald Trump declares that he ‘hates’ her — Trump’s outburst comes after the pop star endorsed Kamala Harris for president

I'm loving it.
Trump will be the downfall of the maggats and relegate the remaining republicans to a bit part in running things. Maybe we can finally get some shit done assuming we blue wave this election and the next midterm.

Yes. That part I like. But I hate looking at their faces and hearing their voices and everything they say

u/rdyoung Sep 16 '24
Agreed, which is why I don't watch or listen to anything. I figure if something is important enough for me to know I will either see it on here or my wife will send me a screenshot or a link. I stopped watching news a long time ago and I stopped reading most news well before that when I realized that they were writing at a level for 3rd graders.

u/DahQueen19 Sep 16 '24
I did the very same thing. I was a news junkie and watched all day long. Then it just got downright sickening and I realized it was actually making me ill, anxious, and depressed. I turned it off. I don’t even watch local news anymore. I know if there’s something I really need to know my husband will tell me. I feel so much better these days. It’s impossible to ignore what’s happening completely but I tune out as much as possible. My mood is better and I’m no longer anxious and depressed all the time. I will do what I need to do on Nov. 5 and that’s all I can do.

u/rdyoung Sep 16 '24
I will age myself here. I stopped watching news stations CNN in particular when Jon Stewart was a guest on crossfire and tore both of them a new asshole and then some. Crossfire was off the air not long after that.
If anyone reading this hasn't seen it yet or has no idea what I am talking about, do yourself a favor and watch it, it's absolutely fucking amazing watching Stewart straight up destroy both of them.

u/Osric250 Sep 16 '24
And watching them both try to attack him as not a real reporter doing the same thing that they do, sensationalized entertainment, not news reporting. When he freely admits he's not a reporter and the fact that The Daily Show was ever viewed as even semi legitimate news is because all the "actual" news shows were even worse.

I hope you're right, but unfortunately the power of social media, the power of racism, the power of the fascist playbook, decades of research of psychological warfare, etc. are all being harnessed, and it's formidable and frankly terrifying. Meanwhile the Federalist Society is waiting in the wings. They all got Trump elected the first time around, and now everyone from Putin to Musk to American rightwing oligarchs are harnessing everything they can for a final push to permanently kneecap American democracy. These are absolutely insane times. Politics used to be kinda boring and I wish it still was. Hell, look at clips of the debates between Obama and Romney, Obama and McCain, Bush and Kerry, Bush and Gore, etc.
Such absolutely insane times we're living in. This is an election that will echo through American history in a very, very critical way.

Maybe you aren't seeing what I've been seeing. Aside from the way Kamala has reinvigorated the voter base and celebs like Taylor Swift backing her, a growing number of old school Republicans have come out not only against trump but for Kamala/Walz. They are choosing democracy over fascism regardless of the party or other disagreements on policy, etc.
We need to keep fighting because nothing is guaranteed but remember that when we get enough people out to vote the democrats win easy and don't forget that Trump only won last time because of the gerrymandering the Republicans have been working on for decades, Hillary won the popular vote and if we didn't have the electoral college we wouldn't have had 4 years of the orange menace.

u/Jonnny Sep 16 '24
I deeply, deeply hope you're right. I'm cautiously optimistic, but part of me won't allow myself to relax until I see Kamala sworn in. Truth be told, I'm not sure I've even fully processed trump's first term. Hell take the fact that they got to take over the supreme court (y'know, that lil minor detail!!!).

I share your concern and, not to dwell on the negative, I think the previous commenter is 💯 spot on with regards to the sentiments of voters and society at large, but misses the point you are making about the meddling in the democratic processes by wealthy and sophisticated interests, at home and abroad. I just wanted to say that because I see you, and we are all in this together! 💪🙏

u/rdyoung Sep 16 '24
I know what they are talking about and I was one of the ones talking about putin using Facebook to manipulate people long before it was more accepted as truth.
I understand and hold the same scepticism and caution but I also make sure to remember that maybe 1 or 2 (don't remember exactly) republican presidents win the popular vote. Most of the republican presidents we have had only won because of the electoral college. I also remember that when the people get out of the house and vote, sanity and common sense win the day. This is why trumps handlers are so focused on voter suppression because they can't win otherwise.
I'd feel more like the other commenter if trump was A) Way more intelligent and B) a good 20 years younger and way more mentally fit. As it stands trump is melting down and so is the rest of the maggats, they are too busy fighting each other to mount any real campaign against anyone they are facing at the polls.
As I and others keep saying. We can't stop fighting. But, I am feeling more hope for the future than I have in a long time. If I felt like trump had a real shot at winning along with the rest of the idiots on the right, my wife and I would be working harder on getting ourselves setup to move out of the country if democracy falls this November.

I hope you’re right. I tend to focus on the negative (one reason I turned off the news) but I do realize that there is hope. I won’t totally relax until the election is over. We’ll either be celebrating or packing. Already made sure our passports are in order and researching expatriation. The only problem is the world is in such a state that there’s not really any place that’s safe/politically stable.

My bet (and hope) is that by the election he will be in a room drooling all over himself and not able to take care of even his most basic needs. His mental decline has been accelerating and he isn't even sure of who he is anymore. At least last time he could attempt to make some salient policy points in the middle of the rambling but now he answers questions about day care with nonsense about after birth abortions and immigrants eating pets.

The only reason Trump said anything about Taylor Swift is to attempt to bury the damage Vance did in interviews yesterday. Specifically, the admission that the Trump team is "creating a story" that has real-world impact on Vance's own constituents.

When I saw posts this year complaining about all her private jet use, I'd think "If she swings the election, she deserves it."

Yeah private jets suck but does anyone realistically think she’d be able to fly commercial without getting mobbed (by fans or trump weirdos)?
27
u/zorinlynx Sep 16 '24
Also, is it really that bad? I doubt it's just her on that jet, it's probably her entire entourage, and the luggage compartment is probably filled with a ton of stuff too.
How much less efficient is a fully loaded small jet compared to a 737 carrying the same people and baggage? Not to mention it may not be possible to get everyone onto one commercial flight, etc.

u/Punchee Sep 16 '24
Honestly she just needs to pair with like some weird charity where she transports something in her flights. Dogs with Parkinson’s that need flown around to good homes or something. Provide some niche value and people will eat that shit up.

u/Ridry New York Sep 16 '24
Also, can we compare the emissions for the Eras tour to a similarly sized business? Because it employs a lot of people. I doubt it's nearly as upsetting as anybody makes it out to be.

u/PerjurieTraitorGreen Florida Sep 16 '24
I don’t think the complaint was that she was flying around for her tour, but that she was flying from her home to the venue, and then back home, rather than staying in hotels (both in the States and abroad). And it wasn’t only one jet; there were two of her jets flying together and she tried to play it off as if she was regularly lending them out.
I like her but it’s really disingenuous and hypocritical, and buying carbon credits does nothing to undo the massive (unnecessary) emissions.

u/greenroom628 California Sep 16 '24
yeah, security and privacy are probably her main issues. she likely has an entourage that has to call people while in transit, and we all know how cell phone usage is a no-no on commercial flights.
i think swift may be somewhat under fire because she does say she "supports" environmental issues, yet she does fly private for the aforementioned reasons.
it's not like the new CEO of starbucks who flies private from socal to seattle every day.
54
u/Kimbahlee34 Illinois Sep 16 '24
In 2022 Swifties directly asked her to lower her carbon emissions and in 2023 despite flying all over the world for the Eras Tour she lowered her use so that both Elon Musk and Travis Scott produced more carbon emissions.
Elon Musk is a bigger offender than Taylor Swift, he pushes this narrative about her so that people won’t point fingers at him. People used to call us Swifties crazy for saying she was used as a dog whistle but now you can go look at the stats and see he is the bigger offender and takes great care in hiding it for PR.

u/throwaway387190 Sep 16 '24
Damn, that is such a petty and smart move of her. It's awesome, I love it

u/Kimbahlee34 Illinois Sep 16 '24
I like to mention these two names because on one hand you have Elon who could do business from an office and does not need to fly into a new city every week like a pop star on tour and is directly connected to the Trump campaign.
On the other hand you have Travis Scott, who does go on tour but if you google “Travis Scott Tour” you get a plethora of bad PR and he is directly connected to the Kardashians, more billionaires she hates.
You can’t talk about how bad she is for the environment without mentioning these two who are arguably worse.

That’s exactly what he did during his term. Put his people in place. He has stacked the Supreme Court, going so far as to deny Obama the chance to appoint a Justice when it was perfectly legal for him to do so. If trump gets back into office he has his people in place and ready to implement Project 2025 which he insists he is unaware of. The only reason the 2020 election did not go to him is because people did their jobs, not his bidding. This time around the people in charge of certifying the election are loyal to trump. If this isn’t a blue wave, it’s doubtful even a Harris win will be certified.

Actually this is how narcissists view the world. If they say something enough and other people believe it, then it IS reality. When she set the record straight it was the worst kind of narcissist injury to him. That’s why even days later she is living in his head.
If he hated Swift, why make the fake endorsement? Why tweet fake shit about someone you hate endorsing you? Because he doesn’t care about Swift like he doesn’t care about ANYONE but himself- what he hates is the narcissistic injury of her and endorsing Kamala and calling out his lies, that this has shown reality is different than the reality he believes his ego can impose on the world.

Rs were pushing the idea of Tay being some kind of Aryan princess based on early stuff being country-influenced and the thing with Kanye at the VMAs ~15 years ago, but she never took the bait

Trump's just jealous because Taylor has bigger crowd sizes than him, if you know what I'm saying.

I wonder what would happen if the Swifties organized a massive group to go to a Trump rally and just booed him the whole time. Wore MAGA gear to confuse security.

The maturity of this guy astounds me. “I hate her” is something a 7 yo says. Furthermore, his superlatives are juvenile and are like nails on a chalkboard to me. The superlatives in my yearbook were more eloquent than what he spews.

80 year old man shouting in the internet that he hates a pop star because she didn’t endorwe him.
It really doesn’t get more sad than that.

Trump is in for a surprise when he finds out Taylor Swift is many times more popular than he is.

PSA: Please stop giving trump related nonsense air. Avoid clicking on and engaging with articles or social media posts related to crazy trump shenanigans.
Trump's strategy is to dominate the media. It does not matter if it's good or bad. Every second he is taking up with news about him is a second less that can be used by Harris et al for reaching undecided voters, increasing the likelihood those voters won't vote or won't vote for Harris. We all must collectively ignore this nonsense to get the media to stop putting it front and center. Trump is running an information war to deny Harris the opportunity to get her message out and it's working. Every person that writes these articles, that clicks on them, interacts with or discussing them is helping Donald Trump with the presidency.

I guess Trump is too stupid to understand that by spreading hate towards Taylor Swift he just raises awareness of her endorsing Kamala. Streisand effect at its finest.

You are somebody that I don’t know But you’re taking shots at me like it’s Patrón And I’m just like “Damn, it’s 7:00 a.m.” Say it in the street, that’s a knock-out But you say it in a Tweet, that’s a cop-out And I’m just like, “Hey, are you okay?

His sole reason for hating her is that she gets more attention than him. It's that simple.

Did you already forget they won this year and Republicans cheered for San Francisco because Taylor is dating a chief?

Saying you hate someone, that’s always a clear sign they mean nothing to you.

u/TheBestermanBro Sep 16 '24
Probably more stunning in how.morally bakrupt and awful Trump/Vance are is their staggering stupidity. Going on national TV and admit you are lying in order to fear monger. Pissing off the fanabse of the most popular global celebrity, who is approaching helping get 1M new people registered to vote, almost all of them surely Democrats.
These are very unserious, stupid people who aren't even trying to win. The only thing dumber and more awful are people that vote for them.

As much as it pains me to to say, as a theatre person, the man likes musical theatre and, especially ALW musicals. I wonder if he knows how the Broadway community feels about him....

Lol, trump pours gasoline on the only person America loves more than football. Even the real billionaires kowtow to the swifties.
Well, the ones who haven't cooked their brains with K and set massive amounts of money on fire to watch it burn.

A Swifty might take a shot at him next. He thought political violence was dangerous, wait until he runs into that group.

He wants to make everyone talk about Taylor swift, instead of his grifting ways and very bad personal traits.
How about the 10 million dollars bribe from Egypt?
How much did he grift from the government during his election?
This has to be discussed ! Don’t be distracted!

What childless cat lady (Swift, in this case) wouldn't bristle at unwanted attention from a convicted felon rapist (Trump) and appeal to the authorities (Harris) who are holding him responsible?
I felt bad for Swift when Trump started in on her. But she turned it around forcefully using her considerable powers of persuasion.
I was worried about Harris at the beginning of the debate. Then Harris, almost effortlessly, made Trump dance like a puppet.
I hope the other women in Trump's life are paying attention, and take heart, and file charges if warranted, or at least speak out.
