Donald Trump Says AI Is ‘Dangerous’ After Sharing Fake Taylor Swift Endorsement

The pop star has yet to endorse anyone in the 2024 presidential race.

Donald Trump is sharing how he feels about artificial intelligence after re-posting a doctored series of photos to his Truth Social account that falsely showed Taylor Swift appearing to endorse his 2024 presidential run.

“I didn’t generate them,” Trump said during an interview with correspondent Grady Trimble that aired on FOX Business Network’s The Evening Edit. “Somebody came out. They said, oh, look at this. These were all made up by other people. A.I. is always very dangerous in that way.”


He continued, “It’s happening with me too. They’re making — having me speak. I speak perfectly, I mean, absolutely perfectly on A.I., and I’m, like, endorsing other products and things. It’s a little bit dangerous out there.”

Last week, the former president re-posted a series of images that appeared to show smiling Swifties wearing “Swifties for Trump” T-shirts with the message “Swifties Turning to Trump After ISIS Foiled Taylor Swift Concert,” seemingly in reference to the terror plot to attack Swift’s canceled trio of concerts in Vienna from a since-arrested 19-year-old radicalized man.

In another image meant to mirror the iconic “I Want You For U.S. Army” recruiting poster, a user doctored up an image of Swift in a patriotic red, white and blue suit and star-spangled top hat with the message, “Taylor Wants You to Vote For Donald Trump.”

”I accept!” Trump captioned the photo set.

Swift has yet to endorse anyone in the 2024 presidential race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, whose nomination is celebrated this week in Chicago during the Democratic National Convention. She previously endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020.

Bruno Mars Will Have Taken Nearly 10 Years to Release His Follow-Up to a Grammy Album of the Year Winner. Is That a Record?

Barack Obama was president when Mars' last solo studio album was released.

Bruno Mars and Harry Styles recently announced their first new studio albums since they each won the Grammy for album of the year. Mars’ The Romantic, his follow-up to 24K Magic, is due Feb. 27. Styles’ Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, his follow-up to Harry’s House, is due one week later.

Styles will have had a gap of three years, nine months and 15 days between studio albums, not inordinately long by current standards. Mars will have had a gap of nine years, three months and 10 days between solo studio albums. That’s a long gap but it’s not the record for the longest wait for a studio follow-up to a Grammy-winning album of the year.
