I have to admit I growing somewhat apprehensive about the upcoming American presidential election.

The secret to Taylor's success:



But I thought Taylor Swift was a psy-ops campaign created by the CIA to re-elect Joe Biden... :unsure:... was Trump in on this all along?  :unsure:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I was hoping the chiefs would lose so she could get to her next break up album and I could stop hearing about their relationship.

He did sign the MMA.
Joe Biden hasn't done anything personally for Taylor Swift that I am aware of.
It's quite likely Travis Kelce doesn't like him.

As Trump statements go, that's pretty good on accuracy even if most of it is nonsense.

I think it would be funny to quiz Trump on the contents of the MMA though.

Why are you bothered by a love story that isn't dysfunctional?

I do find the online right deciding that they need to war with sports and popular music a little baffling :blink:

No wonder a community that desperate to be bullied loves Trump.

Yeah, this is where you can see that as dumb as Trump usually comes across, even he knows that it's a bad idea to try and pick a fight with both the NFL and Taylor Swift.

It's Kansas City - I can see him wanting to piss off SF, but why anyone in MAGA world thought it was wise to pick on Kansas City is a bit baffling.

It was quite a weekend for Commander Bonespurs:

Trump asks about whereabouts of Haley's husband, who's serving overseas

Quote"Then she comes over to see me at Mar-a-Lago. 'Sir, I will never run against you.' She brought her husband. Where's your husband? Oh, he's away. He's away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He's gone! He knew. He knew," Trump said.

I haven't been following Trump's campaign all that closely, so I was surprised to see the following quote in the article from a speech last month:

Quote"They'll be indicted, because they'll say she was having an affair or something, you know. That doesn't mean it's lying. But she'll be indicted for something," Trump said.

Even by Trump's standards (well, okay, I'll grant you that's an oxymoron) that seems stunningly hypocritical.

Let's complete the scorecard.

NFL, Taylor Swift, Disney and Budweiser.

He's changed his mind on Budweiser, guess they made a contribution to his campaign

Isn't dysfunctional yet :contract:  :P

Yes - but also fundamentally I think for a Presidential candidate Trump has an unusually regard and respect for how famous people are :lol: It's an achievement or quality that I think he genuinely admires (unlike most of the more traditional American virtues).
