It has been nearly a week since Donald Trump posted a fake endorsement that featured AI-generated images of “Swifties for Trump,” and the matter is just starting to heat up. Taylor Swift’s fans in swing states are now revolting against Trump, and even Fox News asked the convicted felon if he was worried about getting sued by Swift for the fake image. To make things even worse, this whole thing could be illegal. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains everything that’s happening.

It's been nearly a week at this point since Donald Trump got on truth show, uh, social shared the fake swifties for Trump images that, of course were generated by artificial intelligence. And he put the caption on there saying, I accept, basically implying that all of these Taylor Swift fans, possibly even Taylor Swift herself, were endorsing Donald Trump, when in reality these were fake images. Now, again, been almost a week since that happened, and the story, the drama behind it is actually increasing. Now, usually stories like this come out and then it's like, okay, yeah, whatever, we gotta move on. This one is actually picking up steam, and it's picking up steam in a way that is really horrible for Donald Trump. Let me explain. According to a report from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania obviously a very crucial swing state that Harris is now winning. Trump's gotta win it. 

But the Philadelphia Enquirer spoke to a bunch of, uh, Taylor Swift fans, you know, as they call them, swifties. And, uh, they're super, like they are beyond off at Donald Trump. So Trump has now off these swing state swifties, who as they say in the interviews they did with the Enquirer, they're a force to be reckoned with. And that is completely true. So let me read you a couple quotes from these actual swifties who definitely do not like Donald Trump. One of them said, it's kind of just more like infuriating than anything else because people that are fans of her know that it's not true. But people that don't know much about her and see him posting that would just take it at face value. That was, by the way, a 23-year-old Taylor Swift fan. A 22-year-old Taylor Swift fan said quote, does he think that nothing's gonna happen? 

I mean, Taylor has very, very publicly endorsed registering to vote and always making sure that you're ready to vote. And during the 2020 election site, uh, was publicly endorsing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Swifty are a force to be reckoned with. And that could of course tip the election in Harris's favor in November. I love that both of these, uh, uh, things that I read, and of course there's many more in the article, these people are intelligent. Like not only do they understand her history of political involvement, which is pretty freaking amazing, um, they're also so keen on this election too, like they're paying attention. It, it's remarkable and I love it. I love to see younger people who've only been able to vote for a couple years being this informed about what is happening in this country. Obviously truly tremendous to see that happening. But there could be more to this. It's not just that the swing state swifties could tip the election towards Kamala Harris. Trump could also find himself in a whole hell of a lot of legal problems. 

The first, of course the most obvious is that Taylor Swift could sue him. That's been in the headlines all week. Like, is she gonna do it? She hasn't really done anything so far, and honestly, it's probably not even worth her time to do it. But it's gotten to the point where during an interview on Fox News this week, Fox News reporter, Grady Tremble straight up asked Donald Trump quote, are you worried you're going to get sued that, are you worried that Taylor Swift is going to sue you? And Trump responded by saying, I don't know anything about them other than somebody else generated them. I didn't generate them. Somebody came out, they said, oh, look at this. These were all made up by other people. AI is always very dangerous in that way. It, it's happening with me too. They're making, having me speak. I speak perfectly.
