Stop insulting man-childs. He's worse.
Taylor Swift is internationally liked and considered a pretty business savvy person, especially for an artist, with all the moves she made to make her music her own again by re-rerecording it.
Trump is an international laughing stock and considered an absolute conman and fraudster who got rich victimizing the rich and poor alike, with all the charity scams, taking dirty money from Russia and reporting fake values for his properties to sucker banks into lending to him.
While he's at least equally well known, it's not because he's popular or liked. It's because he's a big fat orange flag.
Her business move to re-record her old album supposedly had the music industry looking into amending all of their contracts. A lot of living older artists could do it and free their art from the claws of MBA grads.
The first band I ever heard about doing it was Def Leppard over a decade ago. Sucks that artists even have to consider than as an option.
Don’t forget convicted rapist and traitor!
We didn’t, just the corporate news outlets.
Trump has also privately claimed that he is ‘more popular’ than Swift is and that he has more committed fans than she does.”
Just to be clear Donnie, you have more fans that should be committed. It's a subtle difference, but an important one.
I mean, he's not wrong, in the sense that swifties won't like, murder you
Some might but definitely less than some of trumps fans.

Yeah, he got his fans to march on the Capitol, and then get arrested for it, and a whole bunch of those still support him. Not saying there aren't Swifties that would go to insane lengths for her, but Taylor hasn't tested her fan's loyalty at that level, at least not yet.
I would love to see Taylor Swift at a concert in DC. After the concert, Taylor tells her fan "Tonight, we march on the capital. I am your new Queen."

He has bigger tits, too.
What we need to do is start a rumor that Biden is considering replacing Harris with Swift as his new running mate.
When asked, the WH just has to say "no comment".
It would be best troll ever.
Someone leak it to the daily mail, they'll take any story

I mean...he is right on the 'more dedicated fans' part. her fans just scream like idiots and buy merch. His kill for him.
I'm not so sure Taylor's fans wouldn't kill for her... but she seems like a decent person, so I'm also not worried about it.
100% can confirm that my peace loving wife would straight up kill someone threatening Taylor.

Wouldn't it be great if the entirety of her fan base took umbrage and turned his campaign into a grease stain on the rolls of history? Quick someone goad him into saying she sucks and her music is bad in a campaign speech lol.
I mean, he isn't wrong. I'm currently in Taiwan and nobody talks about TS, but talks about how much Trump is an idiot. So I guess he is more popular, but for the wrong reasons.
Is that popular or infamous?
I guess a little of both. He was an American president. People here love Obama too. Some people here have never heard of Tay Tay.
Michigan Stadium holds 107,000 people. If Donald Trump and Taylor Swift each held an event there with a $40 ticket price, which would sell out first?
I have some coworkers going to Japan soon for meetings. Apparently they’re competing with a Taylor Swift concert for finding a decently priced hotel.
Somehow I do not think this would be an issue if it was Trump.
I did that in Detroit last year. Lucked out by getting an airbnb. Hotels were so crazy expensive. Streets basically shut down, full of people before and after the concert
Last time I saw she was in town parking around her venue was $80-120
As always he misses the point with his delusional narcissism. If she can increase turnout amongst her fans, who are mostly younger and might not otherwise vote, she can make a big difference in the election. But this doofus is more concerned about an imaginary popularity contest.
Lol he wasn't more popular than Joe Biden, and Joe was a hard sell for a lot of US Democats. No question Taytay takes the W here.
He's probably got a point about the "more committed fans" bit, though.

Yeah but John Lennon is more popular than god
He actually said The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. John was 1/4 of the Beatles so that makes him more popular than say 4 apostles. That makes him more popular than the apostles James, Paul, John, and Ringo. Ringo was an apostle, right? Peace and Love?

The fact that there are Americans that would favor trump over Taylor Swift is a disgrace.
Such a fucking petulant child. Embarrassing.
Idk. One of them, despite not caring about them, I can understand why people like them.
The other is a rapist.
Swift 2024!
Okay, I don't know that she would make a bad president, but without knowing more I wouldn't support a run. On the other hand, I think she should respond to Trump's comment by running as a write-in candidate on all the rest of the Repubilcan primaries. You know, just to find out who is more popular.
Trump doesn't do anything "privately".
Just because he hasn't blathered on about it nonsensically in incomplete fragments of word salad YET, doesn't mean it won't be the main thrust of his speech to the next gathering of idiots who come to hear him speak.
This is the exact type of thing that Trump speeches are filled with; random asides about how much better/popular/cognitive/etc... he is compared to his "detractors".
I find that the most dependable way to make sense of Trump's statements is to start with the presumption that, contrary to the physical evidence, he's actually about 10 years old.
Like with this one - just imagine him as a fat, spoiled little 10 year old, out on the school playground at recess, dejectedly kicking at rocks and whining.
You give him too much credit
When I asked Donald Trump in 2014 about his temperament, he readily volunteered this: “When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.”
