It’s worse than that. A lot of jackwads on this site lap it up.
Don’t let perfection be the enemy or defeat the Good!
Without a majority in both houses Trump’s MAGA agenda is stopped cold.
This means Trump has to be focused on who can not only win the Primary, but more importantly, the General election.
Not every district, county, or even state is bright Red.
Too many appear to be too immature to understand and accept this fact.
I couldn’t get passed the first whine.
He is doing what he can with the army that can get in office, not the army he wants.
Trump put Fauci in charge of the Covid group. And he kept him there, resisting calls to fire him from that group, and putting Fauci on the press conference stage nearly every day
But you knew that, didn’t you?
By the way, are you boosted as Fauci and Trump urge us all to be?
“Trump is God’s man for this hour.”
Does God like the FBI raids that Trumps appointee, Wray, is running?
Another Blackwell principle. Never let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
I think some of the language in this essay is harsh -- some of it unncessarily harsh -- but there is a pr
“ Trump did mitt appoint Fauci”
Sorry, Trump appointed him to lead the Covid group.
TRUMP EXPLAINS WHY HE DIDN’T FIRE DR. FAUCI FROM CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE
by Ryan Meilstrup
President Trump was asked by Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo why he didn’t fire Dr. Anthony Fauci from his coronavirus task force, despite concerns many on the political right have about Dr. Fauci’s job performance on the coronavirus task force.
Trump responded, “I didn’t… because if you fire him [Fauci] you’re going to have a firestorm on the Left.”
Trump understands today’s politics turn on celebrity rather than ideology. We don’t have to like it - but we have to admit he never would have won had he been a perfectly FR-aligned low-profile real estate developer.
Big whoop.
And to reiterate, all your anti-Trump and Never Trump loser friends put together squared can't beat Trump.
Incorrect. Fauci was in charge because he was the head of NIH.
Not including him on the team was not a possibility.
BTW, is the Biden/Harris sticker still on you car?
4 more years...
desantis for florida governor 2022...
desantis for president 2028...
florida first!... 😎
Please, do you think we are stupid? People who come on here pretending they used to support Trump but they are “disappointed” show who and what they are. This guy is dumb. He’s not MAGA no matter what he says. He’s unemployed and it’s highly likely he will remain that way.

My own take is that some of the language in this piece is unnecssarily harsh, but there is a good point being raised that is kind of lost in the personal attacks on the former President.
It’s this:
Trump’s fixation with the 2020 election, right or wrong, is damaging him, his political chances, his brand, and the MAGA movement. Whether or not he’s correct about the election being rigged and stolen, there is nothing that can be done about it at this point.
Politics is about the future, not the past. You might remember that Democrats claimed the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections were stolen. Again, whether true or not, nothing to be done at this point.
What we can do is enact reforms to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Trump could be the leader of that effort, as a candidate or as an elder statesman, if he could depersonalize it, but he spends most of his time talking about what was stolen from him.
It’s not about what was stolen from him — it’s about what was stolen from US: the integrity of our election system, whether by simply implementing voting procedures not authorized by the Legislature or through other irregularities. That is what needs to be fixed, and given that both parties have complained about it, that could have appeal to voters in both parties.
Unfortunately, President Trump is an extremely divisive personality. Most people either love him or hate him. (Some support him but are willing to criticize him.)
His enemies, as much as they hate him, think that keeping him center stage is useful to them. Even the Mayor of Washington, DC is running re-election campaign ads invoking Trump. If he disappeared, so would most of them. They think things like the January 6 hearings will energize their base and keep them from having a massive, 1894-style electoral wipeout.
What if we made it “not about Trump”? Could the MAGA movement have more success in achieving its objectives? That is at least an arguable proposition.
He was right, as he almost always is.
There is no future for the Republican Party or the country itself if the 2020 election fraud is not addressed.
It is asinine to say that the issue is just about Trump as if it's only about his hurt ego.
NIH Director was Francis Collins.
NIH has 27 agencies. Fauci heads one of the 27, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
