Laura Ingraham demands Taylor Swift bow to Trump

Right-wing wraith Laura Ingraham took some time away from attacking teachers to beg pop star Taylor Swift to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration.

“Call Trump and offer to perform at the inauguration,” Ingraham said during her Fox News show Thursday night, in “advice” directed toward Swift. “It'd be smart for Taylor Swift—and another great moment of unity for the country.”



Ingraham didn’t elaborate on what she meant by “smart.” It could be read either as a threat or as a smart business move for Swift, whose Eras Tour just completed its historically successful run.

Ingraham, who has mocked Swift’s political affiliations in the past, seems thirsty to have an inaugural performer more exciting than GOP mainstay and overpriced-Bible salesman Lee Greenwood or post-grunge afterthought 3 Doors Down.

She is trolling, and way too many people fall for this baloney.
She gets paid for attracting viewers, and this bombastic trolling type crap draws them in.

Shabby, tacky, none of her business to try to coerce support for anyone at all, especially a disgusting, self-obsessed pervert.

What a conspicuous ridge-runner. Didn't her silly parents take time to raise her to be civilized?

The whole world has lost its mind lately. Trump just keeps on racking up the wins. TS is a billionaire. Maybe she'll even write a song just for him. Why not? Then she can pull him up on stage and they can both do that two hand tug "dance" thing he does.

There is not a single thing about Swift to suggest otherwise. Everything about her is taking care of others.... being kind, empathitic and she does not need validation from Trump or RWers

Brad Pitt carve the Natzee symbol on her forehead as he did in Inglorious Basterds, so she can’t just hide among us after they are get their asses stomped.
We can save hear from the Jew Bear and his bat.
She and her cult need to feel the hell they deserve long after. So no batting.

translation: Taylor Swift should bow before her master, or face the consequences.
further translation: moment of unity = moment of capitulation.
