In this day and age, an endorsement from Taylor Swift means a lot—it can really change the game, which is why it’s not unusual that the masses are waiting to hear who the pop star will support in the 2024 presidential election. She has not announced anything related to American politics yet, but that hasn’t stopped Donald Trump from pretending she did. The former president just shared AI-generated photos of Taylor Swift and her fans supporting his candidacy, all of which are completely fake, and users on Twitter are roasting him for it.

Donald Trump Shares AI-Generated Photos of Taylor Swift Supporting Him
Taking to his Truth Social account, his social media platform of choice after being banned from Twitter in 2021, Donald Trump shared four doctored photos of Taylor Swift and her fans supposedly supporting him. One photo, inspired by vintage Uncle Sam posters, shows Taylor Swift wearing patriotic clothing and pointing at the camera with the words "Taylor Wants You To Vote For Donald Trump" written across the top and bottom.
Others show young fans wearing t-shirts with "Swifties for Trump" written across them, and another shows similar photos with the caption, "Swifties Turning To Trump After ISIS Foiled Taylor Swift Concert." All of these images are AI-generated, but Trump, who posted a collage of these photos, seems to think they're real. He captioned the collage, "I accept!" A few weeks earlier, he accused Kamala Harris of posting AI-generated photos of large crowds at one of her rallies, which were confirmed to be real by numerous sources. Looks like someone needs to get Trump some cyber safety classes!
Twitter Users Slam Donald Trump For Posting AI-Generated Photos
Users on Twitter were quick to call out Donald Trump for his actions, with one user writing, "This is uniquely pathetic, even for Trump!"
"Trump is so desperate for Taylor Swift to support him that he's thanking an AI generated image that he shared," another user wrote. "The man is just so pathetic."
"This looks like a big, fat, juicy lawsuit for Ms. Swift's attorneys," added a third person.
"What a sad, feeble, man," wrote another user.
"That's just pitiful," agreed the next user.
"This is a most desperate act of insanity since Taylor can't stand him and his nutcase followers," another comment reads.
"He's beyond pathetic," a person posted. "He has the brain of a grade schooler."
