Former Republican President Donald Trump is feeling the wrath of the Swifties—fans of singer/songwriter Taylor Swift—after posting an acceptance of an AI-generated endorsement from the Grammy winner.

Trump took to Truth Social to post his acceptance of the fake endorsement with a quartet of images of people wearing Swifties For Trump shirts. One of the images is even clearly marked "SATIRE."

You can see his post here:

But people noticed several things when they looked at the four individual images.

Three of four were posted by the same self-proclaimed MAGA minion—aka (@akafacehots)—including the AI-generated Swift endorsement below.

Two of the individual images feature the same girl wearing a homemade "Swifties for Trump" shirt.

Among aka's images were real pictures of Jenna Piwowarczyk in her homemade T-shirt at a MAGA rally in Racine, Wisconsin, in June. After her 15 minutes of fame, Piwowarczyk is now trying to sell her t-shirts online.

She appears to be all alone at the Trump MAGA rally—so "Swiftie for Trump" is more accurate.

And all the other "Swifties for Trump" images are obvious fakes from satirical account @amuse.

Both the image above on the left posted by aka and the images below posted by @amuse.

Based on aka's other posts, it's clear he merely trolls for attention on X.

What's less clear is if Trump is in on the joke that "Swifties for Trump" seems to have only one real member. Or that Taylor's endorsement is completely fake.

Either way, people were unamused by the use of Swift's name and likeness.

Swift—who has self-identified as a Democrat in previous election cycles—endorsed Biden/Harris in 2020 and the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in her home state of Tennessee in 2018.

The artist has encouraged her fans to register to vote, but hasn't officially endorsed a 2024 presidential candidate yet.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

Racist Guy Caught On Video Tearing Through Iraqi Soccer Fans' Banner At Dallas Airport: 'Don't Come To America'

With the United States set to host the 2026 World Cup, a video out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is drawing attention for a very different reason: showing a man ripping apart an Iraqi soccer fan’s banner and telling them, “Don’t come to America.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.

Videos Of Squirrels Trying To 'Vape' Are Going Viral—And We Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
