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.

‘CFNY: The Spirit of Radio’ Documentary Captures the Essence of Influential Ontario Rock Station

Now streaming for free via TVO Docs, the documentary focuses on the alternative spirit of the GTA station that made waves in the '80s and '90s before being rebranded as 102.1 The Edge. There are interviews with Rush’s Geddy Lee, Metric's Emily Haines, Sum 41's Deryck Whibley and more.

A new documentary is unpacking the rise of CFNY, the influential radio station born in the suburbs just outside Toronto.

CFNY: The Spirit of Radio focuses on the “golden age of radio in Canada," known as one of the first modern rock radio stations to have a major impact on the airwaves. After being acquired by TVO Docs, the documentary premiered in Canada on Jan. 6 and is also streaming for free via TVO and on YouTube (below).
