Trump Lists Out the Reasons Taylor Swift Should Endorse Him, as If That Might Actually Happen

Is Taylor Swift going to endorse Joe Biden? Given that she did in 2020, it’s obviously possible. And if you ask the MAGA nation’s more conspiratorially-minded members, the endorsement is already a done deal. But Taylor Swift endorsing Donald Trump is one thing that is clearly not going to happen, and the reason we know this is because, among other things, Swift vowed to “do everything” she could to end Trump’s reign of terror the last time he ran for president, i.e., her feelings for him are quite clear. And yet, that didn’t stop the former guy from taking to social media on Sunday to list out the reasons she should actually back him and not Biden.

In a deeply cringeworthy post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will. There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money. Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!”

Let’s break down Trump’s reasons why Swift shouldn’t endorse Biden and should maybe even endorse him, which are, to use political jargon, “very dumb.”

He was “responsible for the Music Modernization Act”

As Dina LaPolt, an attorney who worked on the MMA, noted yesterday, “Trump did nothing on our legislation except sign it, and doesn’t even know what the Music Modernization Act does. Someone should ask him what the bill actually accomplished.”

Joe Biden hasn’t “done anything” for her

In Trump’s mind, everything is transactional, so because Biden hasn’t literally put money in Swift’s pocket, he hasn’t “done anything for her” and likely “never will.” Naturally, the ex-president does not consider the fact that (1) Swift agrees with Biden on a number of policy issues, and (2) when it comes to policies, she very much does not agree with Trump. For example, the singer is a major proponent of reproductive rights—which Biden has fought for, and Trump has bragged about destroying.

To endorse Joe Biden would be “disloyal” to Trump because Trump “made her so much money”

This claim is unintentionally hilarious on multiple levels. For starters, it suggests that Swift showed up at the White House begging Trump to sign the Music Modernization Act, which, of course, never happened, and now owes him her loyalty. Obviously, she owes Trump literally nothing, and again, for him, everything comes down to the question of whether someone has put cold, hard cash in someone else’s pocket.

Trump likes Travis Kelce, which is big of him given that Kelce “may be a Liberal” and “probably can’t stand” Trump

Apparently, Swift shouldn’t endorse Biden because Trump is so magnanimous that he hasn’t shit all over Travis Kelce, despite the NFL star likely being a “a Liberal.” He could have, but he hasn’t! Probably already has a mean nickname just waiting to be deployed, but hasn’t used it! And this is how Taylor repays him??
