00:00Taylor Swift and Donald Trump, two people you wouldn't think that would be coming together.

00:05And they're not.

00:06And they're not.

00:07They're not at all.

00:08But I think, surprisingly, Donald Trump had some really positive things to say about Taylor

00:14Swift.

00:15The reason I say surprising, he's already gone on a – he was expecting her to come

00:20out and endorse President Biden, just as she did last time around.

00:24She has not endorsed anyone at this point.

00:26So maybe that explains what Donald Trump said about Taylor in a new book that's out

00:32about his time on The Apprentice.

00:34It's called Apprentice in Wonderland.

00:36He was speaking to the author in November and was asked about Taylor Swift.

00:40This is what he had to say.

00:42You can start counting how many times he uses a particular word.

00:45I think she's beautiful.

00:46Very beautiful.

00:47I find her very beautiful.

00:49I think she's liberal.

00:50She probably doesn't like Trump.

00:52I hear she's very talented.

00:54I think she's very beautiful, actually.

00:57Unusually beautiful.

01:00So can I – can I – can I quote –

01:02Reading that, by the way, it sounds like the guy who plays him on SNL.

01:05Like, that was just one of the – like, they're one and the same almost.

01:09I'm going to quote one of my favorite singers, because I think this makes the point.

01:16You don't step on Superman's cape.

01:18You don't spit into the wind.

01:20You don't pull the mask of the Olon Ranger.

01:22And you don't mess around with Taylor Swift.

01:25And the Swifties.

01:26Because of the Swifties.

01:27Right.

01:28And all of the people she can marshal.

01:29And I think that is part of that.

01:30It is kind of a stepping back – it's sort of like – they're backpedaling a bit, right?

01:34Because you remember there was a whole thing that people in Trump's camp had said they

01:38didn't care about Taylor Swift's endorsement.

01:40They said that last fall.

01:42And maybe this feels like he's just trying to walk it back a little bit and say, eh,

01:46let's not.

01:47I don't think – I think he knows.

01:48Ruffle those feathers.

01:50That is the power of Taylor Swift.

01:51That if he says something very negative about her, even Trump, as bulletproof as he is to

01:57everything else, you don't want to mess with the Swifties.

02:00Because remember when Meryl Streep criticized him, he called her the most overrated actress

02:03in Hollywood.

02:04He has no problem going after people that he does not like.

02:07But Taylor Swift?

02:08I hear she's talented, he says, which is the best he can do.

02:11He hears she's talented.

02:12But the other thing is, it's not so much that you don't want to mess with them just generally.

02:17You don't want to mess with them because it would then motivate them to go out and

02:20vote.

02:21And I think that's the concern.

02:24The fact that he gets that, because he usually is not that generous.

02:28Right.

02:29There's no danger that Swifties are going to vote for him.

02:31I don't think he's trying to sway her fan base.

02:34But the thing is, he wants to keep them, at best, apathetic.

02:36You know?

02:37They don't care as much.

02:38But if they get fired up against him, they're going to mobilize, because that's what they

02:41do.

02:42Exactly right.

02:43And he doesn't want her – never mind the Swift – I mean, he doesn't want Taylor

02:45to come out and say something which would also motivate the Swifties.

02:49But also, it's not a fight he can win.

02:53He is really making inroads with young people.

02:59And he wants to make sure that the people who are on Biden's side, who are young, just

03:05don't go to the polls, because this election is going to be based on who goes to the polls.

03:08Who shows up.

03:09Right.

03:10Yeah.

03:11And so if Taylor Swift were able to mobilize –

03:12Yeah.

03:13You can't give them bulletin board – bulletin board material.

03:17We called it sports.

03:19I know that.

03:20You know, in the locker room, you put something up and say, oh, look what they said about

03:22us.

03:23I know that.

03:24Guys, as a Swifty, if she endorsed Donald Trump, I don't know.

03:30I might, I might, I might do it.

03:32It would make you think about it, at least, right?

03:34And which is all he would need, but she's not going to.

03:37But she might not endorse Biden, though.

03:40It's Donnie from Dallas, Texas.

03:42I, in my opinion, I think that Taylor probably doesn't care much about what Trump has to

03:47say about her.

03:48We have known him to always deduce women to their appearance, so I was not surprised either

03:53by that comment.

03:54But just like my girl said, I think that she, that her audience is going to be more concerned

03:58about what she has to say about him versus what he has to say about her.

04:02I don't know that Taylor Swift is necessarily going to get involved in this election.

04:08I don't know, because she supported Biden last time.

04:11Because young people are so split now on Israel, where there's kind of apathy over Biden and

04:18all, I don't know that she's going to do it.

04:20She may.

04:21But, you know, she's very intentional about her fan base.

04:26And I think that fan base is split.

04:28And I don't know if she wants to-

04:29I think it would be really strange if she doesn't endorse someone this time around.

04:33Because she made such a point the last time about how important it is to get out there

04:38and vote.

04:39You can't suddenly say it's not important.

04:40She could say, go ahead and get out and vote.

04:42She may not endorse a specific candidate.
