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.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
