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.

    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.

      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.

      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.
