The Spin
Democratic narrative
Trump is so desperate for anything that may help steer him off the path towards inevitable defeat in November that he consented to the use of artificial intelligence to promote the false claim Taylor Swift and her fanbase support him. No one will fall for this fake endorsement.
Republican narrative
This so-called fake endorsement is just a funny meme posted online, as everyone knows that Taylor Swift supports Democratic candidates who offer nothing to working-class Americans. Some of her fans, however, do indeed support Trump, as his platform and policies have wide appeal among a broad spectrum of US voters.
