Donald Trump and the runup to the 2024 election

After what he and his minions have done to Fani Willis? Fuck that shit. Sauce for the goose…

…Is this a joke? People are going to feel sorry for Donald Trump because he got caught cheating on his wife for the sixth time?

Sure, his fans don’t really hold him to any standards but some of them might not like that he is cheating on their beloved, classy first lady. On the other hand, they might just shit all over her in fealty to him. But they should have that choice. Still, I really don’t care, do u?

A few. I still think it is a bigger group that would be reassured over his acting like a younger man. However, I have to admit to there being a lack of precedents for public knowledge of adultery helping the politician adulterer. If I am correct, it would be, as so much with Trump, unprecedented.

P.S. However, I want to emphasize that this is all speculation. I have no credible evidence he is a recent adulterer.

The problem with Trump’s strategy is that when you pledge to cut taxes, you want people to think you’re making their lives easier. But when people hear it’s tied to overtime, they will hear that they need to work more to enjoy what you’re doing, which then sounds like things will be even harder. Whatever the actual benefit of the tax break, or the intentions of the plan, people are going to at least subliminally hear, “I want you to work more.” You don’t want a word like “overtime” to be on their minds, especially when you’re also constantly talking about how inflation makes things more expensive because Biden is tanking the economy.

You might be surprised.

Not to mention what he and Rudy did to those poll workers in georgia? Ruby Moss and Shay Freeman?

Yeah, fuck his privacy.

I like to think this doesn’t bode well for Trump, and perhaps they’ll actually respect the election. Perhaps.

I didn’t know Jack Kennedy. I never worked with Jack Kennedy. But I know Donald J. Trump is no Jack Kennedy. The press stopped giving presidents that kind of privacy a long, long time ago. Normally I’m inclined to leave someone’s love life alone, but Trump’s party seems to think they have business in my bedroom, so fair’s fair. We’re looking at a Moms for Liberty situation here. It’s the hypocrisy that bothers me.

IMO, if Trump wanted privacy he should have put his inheritance into a mutual fund and moved to Martha’s Vineyard instead of spending the last half century trying to convince everyone he’s the Greatest Person Who Ever Lived.

Good catch. Sukarno’s Guided Democracy (leaving out the fake socialist veneer) sounds ballpark similar to what Trump wants to do with the U.S.

I guess I have to be on the fence as to whether a big Trump sex scandal would help or hurt. It would take attention away from Harris, and I believe she would benefit from more media. And the idea of proving he’s not too old to, well, you know, has to be a Trump plus. But it would hurt him with Slovenian-Americans. Are there many?

I want to see who Donald is gonna throw under the bus first - his wife who hates him and refuses to let him touch her but will absolutely have his ass on a platter in divorce court, or his sidepiece who his entire staff hates and is going to make him lose the election.

Will it cost him any money to dump Loomer?

And will keeping Loomer really cost him many votes? Some pollster should include that question in their next poll.

Probably both. He’s now putting the moves on Elon Musk:

Drudge is still a thing?

Trump is trying to out-do Grover Cleveland, not just by having nonconsecutive terms, but with a wild sexual affair that became fodder in a vicious campaign. The attached article was when John Edwards was running in 2011; nothing new under the sun.

This article (gift link) is a few months old, but it’s an interesting profile of Loomer.

She’s positively obsessed with Trump, and at the time the reporter met with her she was borderline stalking him…….she told the reporter that she knew someone that could get them into Mar-a-Lago and that if they were in the dining room at the right time, they might be able to meet Trump.

She backed out of the offer, though….because she thought Trump would be displeased if she brought a WaPo reporter to the club.

She’s said several times that Trump is her reason for living, and she lost weight for him because she knows he likes a certain body type.

I hope this new Loomer ban is short lived, its fun to watch her bring out the crazy.

Gift link that isn’t generating a preview for some reason. Since there’s no preview, the title and description is:

For Laura Loomer, a Trump comeback is everything

The anti-Islam, anti-immigration crusader has repelled even would-be allies in the MAGA movement — with one major exception.

According to Wikipedia, about 300,000.

Trump’s fans seem to like Melania, and he seems to like her too even though the feeling clearly isn’t mutual these days. I predict he’s gonna pull the “I don’t know anything about Laura Loomer” card soon.

People are saying …

That in the key states of Georgia and North Carolina, there’s a substantial South Asian population who may not appreciate Trump’s sidekick talking about making the While House smell like curry.

And they get to vote.

And those states are potentially flippable, where a few thousand votes may make a difference.

And they’re warning Trump about this.

Whose response is:

“I don’t know that much about it. No, I don’t.”
