Yahoo News Lord Sugar trolled hard for believing Taylor Swift has a swastika tattoo on her face
Lord Alan Sugar may have made his name in electronics – but he is clearly having trouble navigating the Internet.
The business mogul has been mocked online after taking at face value a satirical news story claiming Taylor Swift has tattooed a swastika on her face.
Lord Sugar tweeted a link to the story from The Onion asking his 5.4 million followers to help explain.
He posted: “Eh I don't get this. Can someone explain is she making a statement or what?”

The tweet left Lord Sugar wide open to ridicule with some branding him “dumb” while others hailed him a “comedy genius”.
One Twitter user posted: “Lord Sugar thinking that Taylor Swift actually got a swastika tattoo on her face is my new favourite thing.”
Another tweeted: “Really enjoying Lord Sugar thinking that Taylor Swift actually got a swastika tattooed on her face, for attention.”
A third wrote: “Peak twitter is Lord Sugar not understanding TheOnion is fake news and genuinely believing Taylor Swift tattoo'd a swastika across her face.”
I was furious about waking up at 4.40am but I now realise my body sensed I must arise to screenshot Lord Sugar believing Taylor Swift tattooed a swastika on her face.
