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.

Fucking clickbait title... He said she would pay IN THE MARKETPLACE. It makes it sound like he's actually threatening her.

If her MAGA fans don't like her endorsements that much, they would have stopped supporting her when she endorsed Biden last time.

Also, why do conservatives claim to hate cancel culture but embrace it when anyone opposes them?

"That's a boycott, not cancelling someone! It's completely different!"

--Actual response I got to that question a few years ago.

Was that their response about The ~~dixie~~ Chicks?

"That was 20 years ago, who even remembers."

Well, Leon did threaten to rape her for endorsing Harris…

Fucking clickbait title… He said she would pay IN THE MARKETPLACE.

Swifties got mad when Tool unseated her at number 1 IN THE MARKETPLACE. I doubt very much that Swifties are gonna care about the distinction.

Yeah but the title makes it sound like it was a threat, rather than just a statement that she is going to lose money as a result of her statement.

Trump is garbage, but the title is garbage too.

This reeks of IN MINECRAFT, though, and we all know how mentally unstable and trigger-happy some in his cult are. This will almost certainly lead to death threats against her, if not actual plots.

e: not saying it isn’t clickbait, it totally is
