Trump Trolls Taylor Swift by Copying Eras Tour Shirt Design
Former President Donald Trump angered Taylor Swift fans after his campaign released new merchandise that appears to have been influenced by the singer’s Eras Tour.
Trump’s official campaign X account, TeamTrump, shared a post Thursday morning announcing their new Trump shirt, the “Trump Era shirt,” and taking a shot at Swift and her “Swifties.”
The white shirt depicts several colorful photos of Trump during his presidency and has a black-and-white image of him raising his fist featured in the middle. Below the image collage, it reads: “Donald J. Trump” and “Make America Great Again.”
On the site where the shirts are being sold, it is introduced with the words, “Look what you made me do,” posted.
The shirt is very similar to Swift’s Eras Tour shirt, which has the exact same layout.
The shirt is available to anyone making a $45 to $1,000 donation to the Trump campaign. When the shirts were launched, there were 200,000 available. On Friday afternoon, there were over 182,000 sold.
After the shirt was made public, Swift fans quickly posted their discontent with the design. Many urged Swift to sue Trump, while others called the former president “weird.”
“I hope you get sued within an inch of your existence. He’s fixing to be in his unemployed little b*tch era,” one X user wrote.”
“MY CULTURE IS NOT YOUR COSTUME,” another user wrote.
Another angry Swift fan wrote, “you dumbasses probably thought you were in the clear because the shirt falls under parody (which it does), but you left yourselves legally exposed by using her name in the text of the tweet. enjoy the lawsuit. and before you try to delete the tweet i took a screenshot.”
The shirt appears to be a response from the Trump campaign over Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris after their debate Tuesday night. The singer posted a lengthy Instagram post, praising Harris, calling her a “steady-handed, gifted leader,” as Resist the Mainstream reported a few days ago.
Posing with her cat, Swift captioned the photo accompanied with her post as “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady.”
The Trump campaign’s response to Swift’s endorsement follows Elon Musk’s, who wrote a post that also triggered a liberal meltdown. He wrote, “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” in response to her endorsement.
Musk’s response was related to the news that broke about Haitian immigrants in Ohio killing and eating pets and the local wildlife.
