YouTube comic Randy Rainbow has taken another pop at Donald Trump in his latest video. This time, Rainbow uses footage from Trump’s televised debate with Kamala Harris last month.
Rainbow focuses on the part where Trump began to rant about immigrants in Ohio eating pet cats and dogs. These claims have not been supported by hard evidence.
It leads to Rainbow breaking into a parody version of Taylor Swift’s classic song, “Blank Space”.
“You’re still talking, don’t know why, you say so many stupid-ass things,” sings Rainbow.

Trump’s hatred of Taylor Swift
Rainbow usually uses classic songs from Broadway shows and musicals for his parodies. However, his use of Swift is apt given the singer publicly endorsed Kamala Harris recently. This prompted Donald Trump to post a message on social media stating, “I hate Taylor Swift!”

Swift’s decision to announce she would be voting for Kamala Harris in November prompted swift rebuke (no pun intended) from many MAGA diehards.
Yesterday, news broke that a man in Texas paid $4,000 in an auction for a guitar signed by Swift. He then proceeded to smash it up with a hammer.
It’s unknown why he did so, but online, many have speculated that Swift’s political stance likely played a part.

The auction raised funds for the Ellis County Wild Game dinner, an event supporting the agricultural and rural education of local youth.
Auction attendee Rob Bartley told The Independent: “A Taylor Swift guitar had sold at another event unrelated to this earlier in the year, so it wasn’t an unheard of type of item to auction.
“That said… when the man announced his intention to smash it the camera phones came out.”
Online, many were unimpressed by the waste of a good guitar. It could have instead been donated to the local youth the auction was trying to help.
Imagine spending $4000 just to impress Trump 💀

In case you need a reminder, here’s Swift’s original “Blank Space”, released in 2014 from her album 1989.
