  1. /me grabs popcorn and puts his feet up on the table.

  2. > But the former U.S. President does not agree with that decision and has shared an article that argues that he should have received the accolade.

    He can always make another fake Time Person of The Year cover, lmao.

  3. You freggen Moose Knuckle. You’re just going to make her president.

  4. I particularly like this bit:

    > because “he has been successful at quite literally everything he’s ever tried throughout his life”

    1. **Trump Casinos and Hotels:** Trump’s casino ventures faced financial difficulties multiple times, including the Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, and Trump Marina. These properties filed for bankruptcy protection in the 1990s and early 2000s.

    2. **Trump Steaks:** Launched in 2007, this line of premium steaks endorsed by Trump failed to gain traction and ceased operations within a year.

    3. **Trump University:** Trump University faced legal challenges and lawsuits over its marketing practices and the quality of education it offered, leading to its closure in 2010 and several legal settlements.

    4. **Trump Airlines:** Purchased by Trump in the late 1980s, the airline faced financial losses and eventually filed for bankruptcy in 1992. It ceased operations not long after.

    5. **Trump Vodka:** Launched in 2006, Trump’s vodka brand failed to capture a significant market share and was discontinued within a few years due to poor sales.

    This doesn’t even include stealing from his own charity. And I’m sure there are others.

  5. Yes, go after America’s golden child. The person who fills up stadium after stadium at any price (1 million seats filled so far, unlike Trump who cant do it for free), has sold almost 40 million albums in the USA alone, and whose fans will do literally anything she says or does.

    This will work out well. I predict zero issues for Trump.

  6. Why is a 19yo the biggest die hard supporter of Trump? And how do you write “successful at quite literally everything he’s tried at throughout his life” with a straight face?

    – running a casino

    – staying faithful to any of his wives

    – building a wall

  7. Yes!!! Now the Trumper pageant-moms in my area will achieve 100% alienated status once they start blasting T.Swift on social. [Do it, Candice!]

  8. Time be saving the next person of the year to whichever judge finally stuffs this clown in jail.

  9. Many people came up to me and said he is afraid of Swift. “Sir, he knows she can make him lose the election by motivating young and first time voters. He knows he looks like a sickly bloated manatee when compared to her. He’s truly terrified.”

  10. >Jacobs added: “As Swift reportedly became a billionaire, countries’ gross domestic products became the yardstick for her financial contributions. University classes to study Swift’s lessons in literature, business, and law were announced. Swift was showered with keys to cities and street signs changed to her name.”
    Trump has fared a little worse this year, and while he is making a bid to win the 2024 Republican Presidential nomination, he has faced multiple indictments over several jurisdictions.

    Will the real billionaire please stand up?

  11. I guess he could always just launch a set of worthless NFTs of himself. Oh…. .

  12. Well, she is way more popular, gets way more news coverage, and practically everyone likes her.

  13. I hope this will make other artists speak out against Blub and his Cult and show their color.

  14. Which one of them actually is a billionaire? Which one did it without a huge inheritance?

    Yeah, I think Time got it right.

    That said, Time gave Hitler man of the year, so clearly Trump is playing for 2024.

  15. Old ass Conservatives have been attacking popular culture for a good long time.

    If your ideas suck so bad that the existence of *Taylor Swift* threatens them, that’s your own fault for having inferior ideas. She writes breakup pop songs for teenagers. If your politics are destabilized by that…

  16. MAGA vs the Swifties? I don’t see this turning out well for Diaper Don

  17. How will we know when Trump’s dementia compromises his judgment?

  18. This asshole can’t even let slights go that have nothing to do with him.

    >Cooper argued it was a mistake to give the award to the “left-wing singer” and Trump was a more deserving recipient because “he has been successful at quite literally everything he’s ever tried throughout his life.”

    Ok…let’s say that’s true. Why would that qualify him for Person of 2023 specifically? Are you arguing he should be Person of the Year every year? (yes, I think he is)

  19. >Swift was awarded the Time Person of the Year, for her remarkable 2023 that included a record-breaking world tour, concert movie that smashed box office records and *single-handedly lifting the U.S. economy, according to the Federal Reserve.*

    This is one you lose all the way around, Donald. R’s need Swifties to be complacent and unmotivated and staying home for electiions, which is very unlikely when Taylor asks people to vote. Combine this with reproductive healthcare on the ballot in many states and it sets up for a terrible election for Republicans. Which is why they are willing to fund No Labels. It is probably the only chance they have at the presidency.

  20. That would seem like a bigger bite than he can chew.

  21. Swiftbooted will be 2024’s word of the year.

    Trump does not understand the power he is messing with. And watch, next he will go after Dolly.

  22. Yes, let’s attack the one person who can singlehandedly sink your election with just one “Go out and vote blue” social media post.

  23. Mark your calendars. This is the day trumps fall became inexorable.

    He’s not winning a fight with her. She’s like a walking stimulus package to every city she performs in. A huge chunk of the population lives her.

  24. **Donald Trump Goes After Taylor Swift**

    If he gets back into the white house, he is coming after all of us.

  25. Just go back and look at his Covid press conferences as a reminder of how bat shit crazy, and moronically ignorant Cheeto Jesus was and is.

  26. I love how jealous this little jello pudding man gets every year when Time awards someone person of the year and it isn’t him.

    He supposedly has a bunch of framed covers of himself as Time Magazine person of the year displayed proudly on his walls and they’re all fake.

    He has all that money and he was president of the United States and he still craves validation because he has zero self-esteem. It’s so pathetic.

  27. All the Swifties registering to vote against The Donald. I’m here for it.

  28. Back in the 60’s and 70’s much or most of the great songwriting was politically motivated or inspired. We so desperately need that now. If Taylor Swift dropped a serious track about saving our democracy it would rock the vote hard. And this old white guy would become a Swiftie.

    C’mon girl… drop us a sonic bomb!

  29. He should KEEP attacking her. That will end well for him, I’m sure.

  30. Welp. No coming back from this one. Of all the things he’s done this is the one thing that will kill his chances at reelection.
