In the white-hot stage of the 2024 US presidential election, former President Trump tried to boost his momentum through social media. Recently, he posted a controversial picture on the social platform Truth Social, which sparked widespread discussion.
Trump posted controversial pictures
In his post on August 19, Trump shared a picture showing pop singer Taylor Swift wearing an American Uncle Sam costume, with the slogan "Taylor Swift wants you to vote for Trump". This picture implies that Swift and her fan group "Swifties" support Trump.
In addition, there are other pictures showing several white women wearing T-shirts with the words "Swifties support Trump". Trump said "I accept" in the post, suggesting that he has the support of Swift and her fans.
The post quickly sparked controversy, with Swift's fans criticizing the pictures as AI-generated and questioning their authenticity. In response, Trump said he knew nothing about the pictures and said they were made by others, not by him. He further stated, "From this perspective, AI is always very dangerous."
Although Swift has not yet expressed support for any candidate in this election, she has clearly supported Democratic candidate Biden and Vice President Harris in the 2020 presidential election. She has publicly expressed her dissatisfaction with Trump's remarks on Twitter and called on voters to get Trump out of office in the election.
Trump's actions have once again raised questions about his tactics and ethics, especially the risks and potential impact of using false information in the election process.
