Michigan Advance's Susan J. Demas opines…
Trump is reportedly preoccupied with Swift endorsing Biden again (which doesn’t seem like it would be a big surprise), muttering that he’s “more popular” than the megastar, while aides are chest-beating that they’ll start a “holy war” against her. The hope seems to be to intimidate Swift into silence or make the whole thing seem cringe to dampen excitement if she does become a Biden surrogate.
But it gets weirder.
The MAGA Swift hate seems to have reached a bizarre tipping point as she and Kelce have been hailed as the All-American couple, a veritable Norman Rockwell painting come to life. Real Americans are Trumpers, so the lore and Rust Belt diner-fed punditry goes. This simply cannot stand.
“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy posted. “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”
And lo, this election’s wackiest conspiracy theory was born. Kelce and Swift, you see, aren’t two rich, crazy kids in love. No, they’re integral parts of a Deep State psyop to ensure Biden’s reelection.
Is the GOP's desperation making them (moreso) insane or is the GOP's insanity making them desperate?
BTW, congrats, Swifty, on your record-breaking Grammy for Midnights last night! 🏆 💿 🎶 Your bank transfer from the Illuminati is forthwith. 🤣
Yes.
I only wish more people had your ability to see the irony of the situation.
Lack of self awareness is their defining quality.
Watch this tape of Donnie getting caught in a giant lie. He doesn't get angry or upset, he's perfectly happy to sit in his own shit because the camera is still rolling and that's all he cares about.

Or like recently when Trump was asked if he's paying his E. Jean Carol judgements from PAC money. El Cheeto just prattled on about he won on an appeal he has yet to file. He was acting shocked that he lost anything. And at this point I can't tell if he's acting for the base or just that out of touch.
Both. His base want the strong leader, and he believes that he is a great President.
