I don’t know why anyone thinks this guy is weird.

Also, is pissing off the Swifties the best of plans, Donnie?

    This is strategically dumbest move he can make. Taylor Swift has been relatively quite for a while now regarding politics and now either she or her publicist is basically forced to respond to this. My best guess is Trump is trying to stir the pot to get any kind of attention but this isn’t it.

      Republicans have already blamed (credited?) Taylor Swift for election losses, simply because she told people to vote. Not for telling people vote for/against any particular issue, candidate, or office. Just to go vote.

      She has immense power, but that power may not be easy to control.

        I can’t imagine most of the Swifties are already old enough to vote? Aren’t they like 8-16 mostly, with a couple of “young at heart” 20-somethings strewn in? No idea if I’m totally off here, I don’t know much pop culture.

          You’re totally off. Remember she’s been producing hits for about 20 years. So that teenage demographic has grown up, she continually gets the younger demo, but they never seem to leave. My wife and all her friends, at 35, are a bunch of die hard swifties. Her reach is immense

          Many swifties are well above that age I’m in my early twenties and she was becoming popular when I was in elementary school.

          Edit: She also released her first album the year I entered school.
