In the next segment of the speech (that nobody is talking about), he mentioned that he would appoint Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court because both Republicans and Democrats would vote to confirm him - just to get him out of the Senate.
Trump is now in campaign mode for 2024. He brought his big campaign plane with him tonight. He all but told the audience tonight he will be announcing in the coming days. Only reason he hasn't announced yet it because he doesn't want to take the attention away from the candidates that need to win Tuesday night.
People forget that in 2016, Trump mowed through 17 seasoned GOP opponents. He was not nice about it. This is how Trump campaigns, whether some of us like it or not.
But the timing proves he doesn’t give a shit about anyone but himself. He’s supposed to be rallying the base. Not denigrating other GOP candidates.
“Trump mowed through 17 seasoned GOP opponents. He was not nice about it.”
And he pissed off some people who easily could’ve been his allies later. There has to be some middle ground.
That's how he cpaigns, a d that's how he governs. And that's why the swamp is still there. He cant' attract and keep enough sharp, capable allies to fix everything that needs to be fixed because too many of those people see him as a loose cannon just as likely to insult them as support them.
Agree SA. The pearl-clutching around here is disappointing.
I like RD a lot, but his handlers are poking the bear.
If DeSantis should earn the nomination over Trump, be certain Trump will do his best to sabotage him in favor of the Democrat, because that’s the type of person he is.
