Is former President Donald Trump making a play for a Taylor Swift endorsement?
Donald Trump called out Taylor Swift on Sunday in a Truth Social post, saying the Music Modernization Act that he signed into law in 2018 made the pop star “so much money” that is “unthinkable” she would endorse “Crooked Joe Biden,” who “didn’t do anything” for her, and “never will.”

Biden has also allowed millions of illegal aliens to pour into the country, creating unprecedented financial catastrophes for multiple states and cities that must absorb the record influx.
