This will suffice:
Former President Donald Trump “is livid” and “screaming at everyone” after many Republican candidates backed by him underperformed in Tuesday’s midterm elections, an advisor to Trump told CNN…
DeSantis — whom Trump endorsed when he first ran for office — was one of the few GOP successes on election night…
The CNN article is here, but it’s in the fast-moving ‘Live Updates’. (Unless the URL links right to that part.)
Would love to be a fly on the wall there today.
As long as I didn’t get hit by any ketchup, that is.
At last, he speaks the truth!: “Well, I think if they win, I should get all the credit. And if they lose, I should not be blamed at all, OK…”
From here:
If you watch the interview, he gives a smile when he says it that makes it pretty that clear its just a little self deprecating joke… until he then proceeded to double down on this idea and complain that the media would do the opposite.
An intelligent man could frame that in a perfectly reasonable way: “I gave them the tools to win: my endorsements, my fundraising network, my personal support. If they lose, it’s because they didn’t know what to do with the advantages I delivered.”
But he is not a smart man.
I could see him doing this to troll Oz.
Ahhhhhhh, sanity.
Election Deniers Who Campaigned on ‘Stop the Steal’ Lost Across the US
So far, his strategy seems to be to insist HE had a great night, because so many of his candidates won……I assume he’s including every candidate in deep red states where the outcome wasn’t in doubt. In fact, no politician in history has ever had a greater night than Trump did yesterday, and no will talk about it.
Bidenfreude:
Yeah, saw that live and it made me smile. I love how Biden treats Trump like yesterday’s litter box removals.
No, it’s the beginning of a statement by a dirty joker.
I’m going to walk back this prediction, because I forgot about his stupid rallies, which are his oxygen.
Midterms are done, so he can’t claim to be campaigning for someone else when he holds a rally. And unless he declares his candidacy, I don’t think he can legally campaign for himself. I guess he could call it an OWN THE LIBS concert, and spend a couple of hours on stage spewing conspiracy theories, performance art style.
But he wouldn’t be able to talk about how great he is and how he should be President again. Well, he might…..he might employ his typical strategy of thumbing his nose at the law…but his lawyers might convince him to just go ahead and declare.
I do think he’ll postpone the announcement until after the GA run-off, because he can hold stupid rallies for Walker all month, and he’ll get his rally fix.
Then he might take a break for the holidays, because Mar-A-Largo will be hosting lots of parties, and he’ll be able to get adulation at all of them. I predict he’ll announce sometime in January. Although I might regret changing my mind,
What’s a “shtiload”?
Just over a metric butt-ton.
Really?
I would expect it to be more like a tubb-ton, all things considered.
Getting the triple-letter score outweighs the pleasure of a sarcastic reversal. At least in tournament play.
I hope and pray he chooses to hold several of those rallies in GA.
Yep. Trump fucked up a runoff vote in Georgia before. I’m sure he can do it again!
Probably not unfortunately, last time he was still butt hurt and pouting over the fact that the GOP didn’t back his bid to steal of the election, so he called for a boycott. This time it’s his boy (with all the racist connotations that word engenders) on the ballot, so he will come out strong in favor of Walker.
Whether it will be enough will remain to be seen. (hopefully not)
