Majority of Americans Urge CBS to Release Full Transcript of Harris's Interview

[Social Media]

 

Donald Trump's recent outburst declaring "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" is more than just an ill-advised comment; it’s an unwinnable fight against a cultural force too powerful to be easily dismissed. Trump has never shied away from picking fights, but this one, involving the world’s biggest pop star, seems destined to backfire. So, why would he and his supporters provoke such an influential figure?

 

The answer may lie in Trump's keen awareness of how deeply intertwined culture and politics are. Trump, himself a former reality TV star, knows that public figures with immense cultural sway—like Taylor Swift—can impact political landscapes. Unlike most celebrity endorsements, which often go unnoticed, Swift wields an unusual level of influence, much like Oprah Winfrey in her heyday. Her fan base spans generations, with crossover appeal from her country music beginnings to her current dominance as a pop icon. 

 

Swift's visibility is at an all-time high. With NFL season in full swing and Swift dating Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, the cameras follow her wherever she goes—especially when she’s cheering on the Chiefs. This added exposure means her presence is unavoidable, even for those uninterested in her music. 

 

But where Swift truly becomes a formidable opponent for Trump is in her ability to galvanize young voters. Young women in particular feel a deep connection to Swift, a bond that’s difficult to quantify but undeniable. Any attempts by parents or political figures to criticize or boycott her are futile. These fans, many of whom have reached voting age in the last four years, are poised to make an impact in the 2024 election. Swift’s influence isn’t about convincing middle-aged voters to change sides; it’s about inspiring young people, especially women, to register and vote.

 

Swift's power is already showing. Reports have surfaced that her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris drove hundreds of thousands of new voter registrations on Vote.gov. And in key swing states, where just a few thousand votes can swing the outcome, Swift’s involvement could be pivotal. For instance, Wisconsin saw a surge in new voter registrations after Swift voiced her support for Harris, according to data from the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

 

Trump’s attack on Swift could end up driving even more voters to the polls—voters who may not have otherwise been engaged politically. These include not only Swift's young fans but also groups Trump has struggled with: suburban women and others already uneasy about his politics. Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz, have embraced the opportunity. In fact, Walz recently posted an Instagram video referencing Swift’s music and wearing one of her signature friendship bracelets, a playful yet strategic nod to her fans.

 

As for Swift, she’s likely to continue handling Trump's attacks with her characteristic grace, “shaking it off” in public while her fans rally behind her. For Trump, picking a fight with the world’s biggest pop star may ultimately alienate voters he desperately needs—and in an election as tight as the upcoming one, those lost votes could make all the difference.

She is not some iconic idol. She could be forgotten tomorrow just like so many other singers who think they are super popular. In the years to come. She will most likely be replaced by a new face with a better appearance and attitude.

Donald Trump's recent outburst declaring "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" is more than just an ill-advised comment;

It was a pathetic outburst from an entirely self centred sad old man, who has just realised that politically and in terms of celebrity status, the image he has of himself has crumbled. An image as fake and unconvincing as his improbably incredibly coloured fake hairstyle!

 

Taylor Swift of course also has an image, carefully constructed and burnished, but one altogether more credible, appealing and attractive than Trump.

She also has nicer legs!

 

As you may have gathered, I don't like the fellow.

[spidermike007]

The real issue now is that JNNP Trump (just nasty, no policy) has no message. He is a broken record, and people are getting tired of hearing the same juvenile no sense every time he speaks. He does not have a plan B. And he is incapable of adapting. This is just who he is. One game plan. Super nasty, all the time. The people want more. Alot more. Harris/Walz, no matter what you think of them, they're giving the people hope, they're giving the people something to believe in, they have a positive message. That's what people want right now and Trump and Vance are both incapable of that. 

 

A warning from a Trump ally and supporter. He does not listen. He does not care. He hates too much. 

 

From the NY Post, a Murdoch paper. It would appear they are losing faith in these goons. 

 

Tread carefully when it comes to women, including Vice President Kamala Harris. All signs point to a tight race in November, and the GOP ticket is already behind with women: In five battleground states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Harris leads by 9 points or more with the ladies.

 

Closing that gap may be an uphill battle. Even if Trump were ahead, it would be foolish to ignore the power of women voters: About 7.4 million more women than men were registered to vote in 2022, according to the Center for American Women in Politics, and more women than men have voted in every presidential election since 1964. 

 

Besides, the chance to vote for a woman who feels like a relative newcomer will almost certainly attract female voters who sat out other elections (or even some of those who pulled the lever for Trump in 2016 because they couldn’t stomach the alternative). Sure, there are plenty of women who want what Trump and Vance are selling: school choice, parental rights, a better economy, safer neighborhoods and a more secure border.

 

But this is a different political landscape than 2016, and both Trump and Vance need to keep on the straight and narrow to avoid alienating female voters who might otherwise agree with them on policy.

 

Maybe Trump should start by quitting hurling derogatory nicknames and ad hominem insults at his foes. He can ding Kamala on policy without making crass comments or veering into petty pot shots about her looks or gender that might make women balk.

 

He and his running mate must certainly avoid missteps like the one Vance made in 2021, when he blasted “childless cat ladies” who run the country but are “miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made.” He also foolishly suggested penalizing women without kids with higher taxes. For real?

 

Vance’s comments resurfaced recently and spread like wildfire on social media, drawing backlash from even conservative women. Trump and Vance need to reassure women that they take them seriously as a voting bloc, and they have no interest in pushing national policy that controls women’s decisions on family matters. The GOP ticket knows women will play a major role in deciding this election — perhaps they should start acting like it.

Swift was a Trump supporter before and now she sides with Harris. Harris has lied about so many issues she if for and then suddenly against. She has no strength to be a leader and only cares to remain in the White House. Swift was smart to change sides and go with Harris because it garners her more money from more people.

Very well written summary of the Political Momentum now trending toward Kamala Harris. No elected official can solve the big problems, but 1 candidate prefers laughter and compassion to hatred and fantasy.

When did Swift change sides? She has never endorsed Trump?

 

She didn't endorse anyone in 2016 (but in a later story in the Guardian said she should have come out for Clinton), and she endorsed Biden in 2020 and has endorsed Harris now.

 

Literally it seems to be whoever is not Trump...

 

The only apparent endorsement of Trump by her is the AI generated fake that Trump posted on Truth Social.

How very wrong you are. Taylor Swift has been a popular star since 2006. Her popularity and influence has grown every year since then.  18 years as a superstar improving and expanding with each successive year. All done without financially harming anyone, declaring bankruptcy , or trash talking.

One cannot be anti American and a Democrat at the same time, since the Democrat Party platform is pro USA.    How convenient of you to worry about anti semitism. 

 

Some Democrats have non supportive views of Israel. Some representatives are nasty. No denying that. Unfortunately, the GOP  is home to similar people.

 

- Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) scheduled a fund-raiser with Nick Fuentes and declared his “love” for Gab, a media platform popular with white nationalists, neo-Nazis and antisemites, and for “the communities that use it.” 

 

- Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) aka Botox Man,  invited Holocaust-denier Charles Johnson to be his guest at the State of the Union address. Gaetz appears frequently on “Infowars,” whose host, the infamous Alex Jones, has said, “It’s not that Jews are bad, it’s just they are the head of the Jewish mafia in the United States. They run Uber, they run the health care, they are going to scare you, they’re going to hurt you.”

 

- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) suggested that a deadly wildfire in California may have been caused by a laser from space controlled by wealthy Jewish bankers. She shared a video quoting a Holocaust denier’s claim that “Zionist supremacists have schemed to promote immigration and miscegenation.” Greene attended the American First Political Action Conference in Orlando, organized by Fuentes, who questioned whether comparing Vladimir Putin to Hitler “was a bad thing.” She voted against the Antisemitism Awareness Act because it “could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews,” a Scriptural reading that was repudiated by the Catholic Church and most Protestant dominations decades ago.

 

- Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.),  insisted in 2022 that a statement by Carl Palladino, a Republican candidate for Congress, that “Hitler is the kind of leader we need today. We need someone inspirational,” was taken out of context. Stefanik also declined to comment on Trump’s dinner with Fuentes and Ye.

 

- Shortly after Ye tweeted “death con 3 on Jewish people,” Sen.-elect Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) tweeted “America needs a @kanyewest @KidRock tour.” Like the former president, who maintained he didn’t know anything about Nick Fuentes, and Charles Johnson.  Schmitt pled ignorance about Ye’s “antisemitic comments.”

 

- Kari Lake, who is running for the Senate from Arizona, once said meeting a Nazi sympathizer named Greyson Arnold was “a pleasure” and advised her followers to join her on Gab.

 

- Trump has trafficked in antisemitic tropes. Dining with Kanye West at Maro Lago was inexcusable.

 

Pot, kettle, black.

Was she a Trump supporter? She certainly was in Biden's camp last time round, and Trump's claim that she endorsed him just a couple of weeks ago has been exposed as a pack of lies.

 

If you look carefully at what she said, yes she said that she personally would vote for Harris/Waltz, her message to young people was to register and vote! She said that they must make their own decisions as to who they vote for.
