Trump’s Taylor Swift inspired merch is incredibly petty

Donald Trump has waged war on the Swifties by releasing a new t-shirt replicating the singer's iconic Eras Tour merchandise. Seemingly a response to Taylor Swift's recent endorsement of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, the petty merch drop is a sleazy parody that's painfully cringeworthy for Trump supporters and Swifties alike.

Creating impactful branding is all about standing out from the crowd to carve your own identity, yet Trump's copycat merch is a low blow that does very little to represent his personal brand. While it's no easy task to reach the same infamous heights of the Republican red MAGA hat, coming for Miss Swift and her fans is a strange choice that does little to aid Trump's already bizarre campaign train.
