It’s that thing about leopards eating faces. The people who align themselves with Trump think they’re going to get rewarded with a seat at his right hand and that they will get a share of the power and glory. ---

I apologize for the hijack but this is the right audience and it’s not worth a new thread: I just drove by a billboard that said: TRUMP A Champion for Equal Rights WT everlasting F? What has he ever said that could remotely be construed as being in favor of equal rights? ---

After nearly a decade of Trump, starting with his shameful birther bullshit, are you honestly saying that truth need ever be a component of the garbage they’re saying? The truly sad thing is that they’ve learned being true is not necessary to be believed by many. ---

Allegedly there’s something of a schism developing between Trump’s camp and the Project 2025 whackos. I think it’s all surface disagreement and he’d still embrace it in deed if not in word if he’s elected again. > **[Project 2025 director steps down amid backlash from Trump | CNN Politics](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/07/30/politics/project-2025-paul-dans)** > > Paul Dans has stepped down as director of Project 2025, the conservative playbook for a potential second Donald Trump term, amid intense criticism including from the former president. ---

I built the Mar-a-Lago Club, totally open to everybody. A club that, frankly, set a new standard in clubs and a new standard in Palm Beach and I’ve gotten great credit for it.” It’s totally ridiculous, but he puts out those tiny little nuggets and his followers think that it makes him some paragon of equality. Maybe compared to the extreme alt right folks they associate with, he is. ---
