Trump responded to the idea that Taylor Swift might endorse Joe Biden for president by saying privately that she is more popular than the greatest musician on the planet.
Rolling Stone reported:
Behind the scenes, Trump reacted to the possibility of Biden and Swift teaming up against him this year not with alarm, but with an immediate projection of his ego. In recent weeks, the former president has told people in his orbit that no amount of A-list celebrity endorsements will save Biden. Trump has also said privately that he is “more popular” than Swift and has more devoted fans than her, a person close to Trump and another source familiar with the matter told Rolling Stone.
Last month, the source close to Trump adds, the former president commented to confidants that it “obviously” made no sense that he hadn’t been named Time magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year, an honor that went to none other than Swift in December . .

If Donald Trump and his gang of incel insurrectionists, who by the way can’t handle Nikki Haley without completely falling apart, think they can be more popular than Taylor Swift, they are sadly mistaken. They are delusional.
