    Let's not overcomplicate this election. Hope versus hate. Freedom versus fascism.
  • @myselfandeye3884
    MAGA supporters coping so hard right now. If Swift would back Trump they would be falling over themselves to praise Swift. Now they have to do with a guy named Kid Rock and an old guy who thinks the rest of us still believe he is a 'real American' Hulk Hogan.

    Trump got the old washed and Kamala got the youth
  • @MusicandMMA
    At a minimum it gets free advertisement for the candidate. This isn't new. I hope she does tell all the Swifties to vote for Harris. If the magas weren't worried about this they wouldn't attack her.

    I think taylor is going to be at the democratic convention
  • @amritthapa1841
    This is the difference, people like jake paul, adin ross, logan paul supports Trump and people like Taylor swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Mark Cuban supports Kamala.
  • @dreamhunter2973
    Depends on the Celebrity..... People like Taylor swift, Megan, Charlie XCX can influence tens of thousands to vote blue...and people like Jake Paul and Hulk hogan can also influence thousands to vote blue😆

    When Bush tanked the economy, he called the two candidates off the campaign trail for a discussion on fixing the economy. Joe should call a meeting on the border with Don/Vance and Harris/Walz. Then, Don`ll have to put up or shut up about the border. Supportive musicians and actors should organize a "live aid" for Democracy.

    To be fair, trump does have the Russian A list endorsement sewn up.
  • @60zeller
    Hillary certainly had all the A listers including Oprah.
  • Kid rock unstable, hulk unstable , Dennis quad lost his mind a long time ago 🤷‍♂️
  • @PL-gz2gp
    I couldn’t care less what celebrities think, they don’t live in the world I live in…
  • @tymeixsell1241
    Putting Jake Paul in the same sentence as Taylor Swift is ridiculous. I would put him somewhere below Pee Wee Herman. He's a joke.
  • It’s fitting that Trump went to Logan Paul’s podcast, who is known to be one of the biggest scammers on this app. Crypto bro scammer meets crypto Grandpa scammer. 🤷‍♀️

    Dennis Quaid - why???? Ruined every one of his movies for me.
