I think her claim to fame is she tried to cash in on her husband’s fame by wearing a bathing suit, but lots of quarterbacks have blond wives so she was nothing special.

Maybe she'll console herself in her billion-plus dollars. I'm sure the fact that, unlike him, she's an actual billionaire, galls him as much as her Harris endorsement does.

They will result in death threats, not a laughing matter.

I was wrong about Taylor's endorsement, she is one very brave person and she will lead an army of young voters to the polls.

TSF feared her and now his fears have become a reality. TSF did all he could to stop this endorsement.

I really, really admire Taylor Swift.

So he likes someone much better who nobody would ever have heard of if not for who she married? From what I see, B. Mahomes has no discernible talent other than she posted something pro-Trump.

Taylor Swift meanwhile, is an uber talented singer, writer, producer, etc and all around great entertainer who just might be the most famous person in the world right now. He loved her a couple weeks ago when he stupidly thought she endorsed him (what a moran!!!!) and said positive things about her several times earlier this year including how beautiful she is. But only people who kiss his ass are worthy to him so now she is nothing and her career will tank because she dissed Donald Trump. He may be the most predictable person in human history!!

I will never defend the Orange Pile of goo, but his comment is basically saying, "because she endorsed the other person, people will quit supporting her music". Which is a load of shit. Her fans will not make her pay a price "in the marketplace".

Dixie Chicks, the original victims of cancel culture, DID suffer in the marketplace, because the demographic of their fanbase was generally Conservative. And they did pay a price simply because the singer of that band said something like they were ashamed GW Bush was from Texas. THAT. WAS. IT. Totally benign, yet cost them. The same will not happen with Swift.

His obsession with Taylor Swift brings to mind reading about that in the Apprentice book.

Variety has an excerpt of it here..

Listen to Donald Trump Gush Over Taylor Swift in ‘Apprentice in Wonderland’ Audio: ‘I Think She’s Very Beautiful, Actually’

By William Earl

“Apprentice in Wonderland” details many behind-the-scenes stories about Trump while he hosted the popular NBC series and explains how it paved the way to his U.S. presidency. The book recounts Trump’s meltdowns on set, an obsession with Debra Messing and much more...

Setoodeh: What do you think about Taylor Swift? One of the most famous people right now.

Trump: Yeah, I think she’s beautiful, very beautiful. I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump, but I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually, unusually beautiful.

Setoodeh: Do you like her music?

Trump: Don’t know it well, but she is liberal, or is that just an act?

Setoodeh: She’s liberal.

Trump: She’s legitimately liberal.

Setoodeh: I think so, yeah.

Trump: It’s not an act.

Setoodeh: No.

Trump: It surprises me, you know. It surprises me. It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal.

Setoodeh: Well, I think she’s sort of moved on from country ’cause now she’s more pop.

Trump: I think so. Garth Brooks is liberal.

Setoodeh: Uh huh.

Trump: Explain that, right?

Setoodeh: I don’t know how that happened.

Trump: I mean, how did that happen, right? But he’s liberal and so, you know, it’s one of those things. You know, I think she’s got a great star quality.
