Wed Sep 18 20:06:59 UTC 2024: ## Trump-Vance Campaign Collapses in Chaos Amidst Bizarre Conspiracies and Taylor Swift Feud
**Washington, D.C.** – David Frum, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, has penned a scathing critique of the Trump-Vance campaign in The Atlantic, claiming the campaign has descended into utter chaos and self-inflicted defeat.
Frum argues that the campaign has stumbled into a series of bizarre and damaging controversies, including a seemingly irrational feud with pop star Taylor Swift and a racially-charged conspiracy theory regarding Haitian migrants.
After Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris following the first debate, Trump, initially dismissive, launched into a tirade on Truth Social, declaring his hatred for the singer. Meanwhile, Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, promoted a fabricated story from an Ohio resident claiming Haitian migrants were eating pets, despite knowing the story was untrue.
The Wall Street Journal later revealed the resident found their lost cat in their basement, debunking the conspiracy theory. Frum highlights the absurdity of Vance’s actions, pointing out that he also advocates for raising tariffs on toasters and believes that billionaire philanthropist George Soros will fill planes with pregnant Black women seeking abortions.
Frum concludes that the campaign’s focus on these outlandish and unsubstantiated claims has created a sense of impending defeat and ultimately serves to further alienate voters. The campaign’s self-inflicted chaos, he argues, could be the deciding factor in the upcoming election.
