Donald Trump's decision on Sunday morning to announce to the world in all-caps on his Truth Social platform, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" stunned both his critics and some of his supporters, with some of his MAGA fans lamenting his antagonizing her millions of avid fans.
The Trump post, which came in the middle of him lashing out at wealthy Kamala Harris donors as "stupid" and then attacking the New York Times, obviously set off an avalanche of social media commentary.
According to Lawfare senior editor Anna Bower, "Going after Taylor Swift is a genuinely bad campaign strategy. Taylor doesn’t get mad, she gets even," before citing a Swift song with the line, "I don't start sh-t, but I can tell you how it ends."

On Truth Social, some supporters of the former president deplored the turn of events that could have an impact on the November election.
DaaMaga wrote, "Why are you doing this? I doesn’t help you. Just ignore her. Focus on Kamala’s agenda."
"Oh boy… this one isn’t going to help much. Why couldn’t we just ignore her and move on?" Speedy 13 asked.
S.R. Leightner asked, "I wonder if his account got hacked," to which another commenter added, "That's what I was wondering."
Leightner later added, "The less he talks about someone, the less the news reports about them. He's actually calling attention to her and giving her more press. Im disappointed President Trump even said this. It makes him look like he's 13 - and I Iove the man! Trump 2024!"
"Maybe Delete this one Boss," rjdarlin suggested.
Christian Conservative lamented, "I love this country and I want to help your son continue your fight! You guys need another perspective desperately."
"Don’t pick a fight with swifties. That’s a losing message. Just ignore and move on. I would take down that post asap," Rip1 suggested.
