BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! Trump throws his ENTIRE PARTY under the bus by announcing that he doesn't have to campaign for Republicans since he "already won" his election in 2024.
And it gets so much worse for MAGA...
Trump also told Punchbowl News that Americans are "angry at Republicans" but not at him. “But they’re not angry at me. They’re not angry at me, but they are angry at Republicans," he added.
"I said to somebody, ‘Wait a minute, you don’t understand, I won,’” Trump said. “I’m not campaigning.”
He further claimed that the biggest problem facing Republicans in the midterms is that his name won't be on the ballot to drive turnout. In reality, he's a radioactive dead weight around the neck of his entire party with historically low approval ratings. If he were on the ballot, it would likely motivate even more Americans to show up and vote against every Republican running.
Of course, a narcissist like Trump can't admit that he's electoral poison because doing so would deflate his turgid ego, the only thing buoying him above the fetid cognitive swamps of his dementia.
“If I don’t run, will those people go out and vote? And that’s the one thing I can’t tell, I’m going to ask them to,” he said.
Now to be fair, Americans ARE angry with Republicans but that's doesn't occur in a vacuum. They're angry because these right-wing lawmakers refuse to stop Trump or hold him accountable as he starts pointless and illegal wars overseas, drives up the cost of gas and groceries, covers up his role in the Epstein scandal, and lines his family's pockets with billions.
This is exactly what Republicans deserve for embracing a sociopathic, self-obsessed, pedophile like Donald Trump. He has proven time and again that he will not hesitate to betray his allies if he finds it strategically advantageous or emotionally comforting. They let the scorpion climb on top of their head and now they're surprised that he stung them.
It's possible that, despite what he's saying, Trump knows how unpopular he is and realizes that campaigning for Republicans will hurt their chances. But it's more likely that he has simply decided not to care. It's not like he needs a Republican majority to pass legislation because he has no policy proposals. He has no plans to improve affordability, no healthcare plan, no infrastructure plan.
He also knows that even the most crushing blue wave this November will not result in Democrats obtaining the 67 seats in the Senate that they'd need to remove him during impeachment proceedings, so he will get to ride out the rest of his term no matter what. Yes, Democrats will gain subpoena authority and a broad suite of powers to hamper his agenda, but at this point all he cares about is raking in personal wealth. When Democrats inevitably uncover a historic amount of corruption and criminality, Trump is banking on the fact that he can just pardon himself and his cronies.
The MAGA era is officially dead and the only Republican who realizes it is Donald Trump.
Please ❤️ and share if you're voting blue in the midterms!
Trump blows up an entire Iranian family with a giant bomb, killing children and orphaning more kids in a heinous crime against humanity!
Months after sparking international outrage early in the Iran conflict by wiping out an entire girls’ school, a new New York Times investigation concluded that the U.S. military dropped one of its largest bombs in its arsenal on a family home in a densely populated Iranian neighborhood, killing a husband, wife and their 2-year-old son.
The Times' visual investigation of videos, photographs and satellite imagery indicates the strike on a heavily populated residential neighborhood called Qeshm Island was carried out with a 2,000-pound Mark-84 bomb equipped with a U.S.-made guidance kit.
The blast, which was nowhere near any military target, destroyed multiple homes, displaced roughly 20 neighboring families and left two surviving children trapped the rubble before they were miraculously rescued. The intended military target remains unknown.
"We are aware of the reports and looking into them," a spokesman for U.S. Central Command said, adding that "the U.S. military never targets civilians."
But the size of the weapon and where it was used are already drawing scrutiny from weapons experts and legal scholars. Trevor Ball, a former U.S. Army explosive ordnance disposal technician, confirmed the crater and recovered bomb fragments are consistent with a 2,000-pound Mark-84 bomb.
Stanford law professor Tom Dannenbaum said using a munition of that size in a tightly packed residential neighborhood is "very difficult to reconcile" with the military's obligation under international humanitarian law to minimize civilian harm.
The tragedy also revives questions that have followed Trump's Iran war from the beginning. The administration promised a swift campaign that would force Iran to back down within a matter of weeks.
Instead, half a year later, the conflict continues, ceasefire efforts have faltered, and another civilian family is dead while U.S. officials once again investigate whether enough was done to protect innocent lives.
Wars are measured not only by destruction wrought , but by the human cost left behind.
Every time another investigation begins with the words "we're looking into it," the same question grows harder to ignore: if this war has become open-ended, how many more families will find themselves exploding with the next bomb?
If you agree that starting this war may be one of the biggest mistakes in U.S. presidential history, like and share this post.
@RossKneeDeep Katie Hobbs certainly did the right thing. You never want to promote or normalize hate and division. Normal people are tired of having these racist White people foisted on us as heroes and patriots. They're not!
@RossKneeDeep The right has turned Kirk into some kinda saint. If he is the best they can offer as a symbol for their party then they are in trouble with that said the man should not have been murdered~
@RossKneeDeep For gods' sake! Give it a rest, MAGA.
This was a very nasty, hate-filled man. An arrogant, self-important white christian nationalist. He has received far more honor in death than he would ever have earned in life.
@0TulsiGabbard2 Trump has repeatedly lied to American people and hid the truth of the terrible damage his private war has caused to our bases and military! He covers up and demands the truth be concealed! their has been multi billions of dollars of destruction!!
