Political social media was anything but a blank space on Sunday — as observers on both sides of the aisle weighed in on former President Donald Trump’s postabout Taylor Swift.
On Sunday, the former president fired off a Truth Social post about the pop superstar just hours before her boyfriend — Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — takes the field in Super Bowl LVIII.
Left-leaning observers seized on Trump’s post as a sign that he’s afraid of Swift’s potential impact in the 2024 election:
Taking undeserved credit for her enormous success is classic (and heinous), but this reads as if he’s stone cold terrified of her and her power and realizes — after a lifetime of terrorizing women — that this is the one who can actually end him. Even her boyfriend frightens him. pic.twitter.com/R538P284Bv

The idea that any politician is Washington D.C., much less Donald Trump, is responsible for Taylor Swift’s success is laughable. https://t.co/kehZrLPX80

Trump’s been angrily fuming at Taylor Swift in private, he’s been having his influencers attack her in gross and bizarre ways, and now he’s publicly pleading with her to not endorse Biden. This is the guy who the right memes about as the Francisco Franco of our time. pic.twitter.com/obGfoZTpxH
