I always liked Dennis Miller. He is whip smart and erudite. Who else could come up with a reference that Trump’s tan makes other people look like Edgar Winters. Lol. That kind of humor flies over most people’s head and many of his references fly over mine (that one didn’t lol). He didn’t have the biggest show biz career but did well. Perhaps he just couldn’t countenance the BS. However he invested really well and made a bundle in real estate. So from this interview where he says “he’s out” makes me a little sad, but I can empathize. He made a good point about Trump’s sympathetic nature. Or lack thereof. Trump does play it hard, and we want that in a President - directed at our adversaries (and to a degree our allies too). But there is no shame in Trump being or at least showing more humility. He is human like the rest of us. He doesn’t have to say sorry but he sure could show appreciation as Dennis suggested. Aside from the political advantage it could also disarm his personal adversaries. Dennis is onto something with this comment. It’s too bad he wants to sit it out. It seems like he’s OK with himself and doesn’t need the headaches of getting into the fray as a public figure. I wish him well and hope he sticks around.

The deep sate has been implementing a coup against OUR presidential choice since 2015! Clairvoyant humorists can opine all the f*ck they want. WE THE PEOPLE have had it! Stick your diplomacy- Dennis Miller, up your keister!

When Miller said “I’m out”, it was just his sign off for the end of his segment, just like when Mark Levin is done he always says “that’s it!”

Dorothy Parker at the Algonquin Club, he ain't. Actually, that "quip" reminds me of something Dorothy Parker said about the Algonquin Club: It was a phony as a three and half dollar bill. All the humor and wit was practiced and polished, not in the least spontaneous.

Agree! For the uninformed, albino American rock star of the 70s:

Dennis Miller said he wasn't even aware that the Iowa caucus had taken place. So he didn't hear Trump giving conciliatory compliments to his opponents, Haley, DeSantis and Ramaswamy.

Trump's past in New York formed his "nobody eff with me" personality. Then the attacks on him from even before he ran for president hardened his shell. Whether he wins or loses the 2024 race, he and his family will be persecuted by the tolerant left for the rest of their lives. I say he's entitled to some latitude here. He has been demonstrably kind and generous in person to many, many individuals in need of a strong ally, a good opinion from a prominent voice, actual rescue, or financial aid.

Even here on FR, a poster recently asserted as FACTS many false negatives about Trump, including that his marriage to Melania is on the rocks—before it was known that she was absent from the Trump family holiday photos to attend to her dying mother. This freeper critic has been signed up here for many years, but is old and has drunk the hate Kool-Aid.

Dennis cited friends of his who would never vote for Trump because of his personality. Apparently Dennis is referring to wealthy, insulated, politically naïve show biz-adjacent individuals who are also deaf'n'dumb about the issues, and the suicidal danger of giving in to the global psy-ops war.
