Donald Trump reposted images showing Taylor Swift and her fans appearing to endorse him on Sunday .

The images include an apparent AI -generated campaign poster of Swift urging "vote for Donald Trump " Legal experts say Swift could sue the former president, including on federal grounds of trademark infringement and false advertising.

She could even try to take advantage of some states' laws against deepfakes in election communications.

Swift "would not have very strong legal claims against Trump under this scenario," expert says.

Trump may also protect himself by saying that he had nothing to do with generating the image.

Swift may be entitled to a judge's injunction — at least temporarily — ordering Trump to take the post down.
