The establishment tried to take you down at any cost, but you won anyway. Then, right around the deadline to drop out, someone accused you of a serious crime.The media immediately pushes the idea that you’re guilty…..no trial, no due process, no opportunity to tell your side of the story. Everyone, afraid of being associated with someone accused of a serious crime, starts distancing themselves and telling you to drop out so the establishment can finally override the voters and install its preferred candidate. Democracy!

NEW: Politico knew at the time of publication precisely what Jenny Racicot texted to Graham Platner but deliberately omitted it from their article. Racicot, according to the lead Politico reporter on the story, told Platner she “needed her glute massaged.” He told her he was coming right over; she responded by telling him not to do so, but he came over quickly. Whether this detail is important to you or not, it is a shocking breach of journalistic ethics by Politico and CNN not to include it in their coverage. Story at Drop Site to follow.

Trump is in a tough spot, but he’s making a humiliating mistake. He underestimated the ideological depth of the Iranian regime and entered the fight with the wrong tools. He brought a businessman’s mindset to a holy war. After hitting multiple walls, he’s now doing something dangerous: negotiating with the IRGC, a terrorist organization he once promised to crush, while they are actively attacking international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. This is not clever realpolitik. This is negotiating from a position of weakness, under fire, and it crosses every red line he once drew. Short-term relief at the cost of long-term strength is not a deal. It’s a surrender in slow motion.
