Donald Trump is sharing how he feels about artificial intelligence after re-posting a doctored series of photos to his Truth Social account that appeared to show an endorsement from Taylor Swift.
“I didn’t generate them,” Trump said during an interview with 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 plot to attack Swift’s cancelled 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.
