US presidential candidate Donald Trump they used fake photos to get votes from pop star Taylor Swift’s fans. On Sunday, the former president shared on his Truth Social website, among others: a fake poster in which the singer asks his fans to vote for Trump. Other clearly manipulated photos showed women wearing T-shirts with the words “Swifties for Trump” on them.
According to experts, some of the images were created using artificial intelligence. The singer’s poster was “created by artificial intelligence or just classically manipulated,” says University of California digital forensics expert Hany Farid.
It says Trump’s post “especially sad”because at least one of the fan photos looks real.
Swift herself officially she has yet to comment on Trump’s posts. However, according to the Daily Mail newspaper, which cites insiders, the singer believes the Republican has “lost his mind.”
“Very pathetic, even for Trump.”
The posts caused a stir online. One user wrote: “lol, Trump posted a collage of Taylor Swift fans created by AI and wrote ‘I accept!’ as if it were real. This is really pathetic, even for Trump.”
Another user is convinced that Trump shot himself in the foot with this move: “Bro, she doesn’t like you and she’ll make sure everyone knows it”.
Swift has yet to publicly endorse Donald Trump or the Democratic presidential nominee Harris wrong. However, she has repeatedly criticized the Republican in the past and has campaigned for current US President Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 presidential election. – Now I like her music by 25%. less,” Trump was offended.
Swift then criticized the Republican president during the 2020 election campaign Despite the coronavirus pandemic, Trump opposed mail-in voting.
The artist also works for… abortion rights and the rights of the LGBTQ community.
“It’s political stupidity to make them angry.”
Many of the singer’s fans have already expressed their opinions for the Democratic candidate. The “Swifties for Kamala” page has tens of thousands of subscribers on websites such as X (formerly Twitter), Facebook and Instagram. There are also similar pages under the name “Swifties for Trump” – although they have far fewer followers.
Swift’s star power is spilling over into the presidential campaign. It turns out that up to one-fifth of American voters that could affect Swift’s voting preferences.
POLITICO Magazine spoke with Brian Donovan, a professor at the University of Kansas who teaches a popular university course called “The Sociology of Taylor Swift.”. “Her fans are probably the most active and intense community of enthusiasts in the United States. They are political idiots.
He also explained why the former president regularly uses the phenomenon of Taylor Swift. “We know that [Trump] love the glamor of celebrities. So he must be embarrassed because she is both more popular than him and has more money than him. So I think her own life goes into a deep insecurity in her psyche,” Donovan said.
