Donald Trump acknowledged that images he posted online of Taylor Swift endorsing him for president and several images purportedly showing Swifties supporting him were fake. But the ex-president appeared unconcerned about the pop star suing him, saying the AI images were “all made up by other people.”

Trump addressed the controversy in an interview with Fox Business Network's Grady Trimble. In a segment that aired on the network on Wednesday, Trimble asked Trump, "Are you afraid Taylor Swift is going to sue you?" (via Mediaite).
Trump responded: "I don't know anything about them, except that someone else generated them. I didn't generate them… These are all made up by other people."
In the interview, Trump went on to say that he himself has been a victim of AI deepfakes. “AI is always very dangerous in that way. It’s happening to me. They’re making me talk. I talk perfectly, I mean, absolutely perfectly about AI, and I endorse other products and things. It’s a little dangerous out there.”
