McCARTHY’S SECRET PROMISE — After Speaker KEVIN McCARTHY suggested on national television last month that Trump may not be the GOP’s best presidential candidate in 2024, the former president was furious — and wanted the California Republican to rectify the slight immediately.
“He needs to endorse me — today!” Trump fumed on his way to a campaign event in New Hampshire, according to people familiar with what happened. McCarthy, after all, had indicated to Trump’s team that he would do so eventually. Why not clean up the mess and announce his support now?

Trump has a Thin Skin and it irritates voters. His rhetoric and inability to contain his emotions is what turns off many voters.
On the topic of Trump, trust politico to lie with impunity.
This is from Politico, the gal testifying at the Jordan hearing roasted Politico, laughed at them, it was quite entertaining.
“Trump has a Thin Skin and it irritates voters.”
Trump lashes out at rogue federal agencies targeting him and those that he has supported who are not loyal.
His ability to stay focused while simultaneously admonishing those who slight him is not a flaw, in my opinion.
Bush would silently let people do, write, or say anything they wanted about him and he never responded. Never! It made him look weak, impotent and mute.
I prefer the Trump approach.
If Trump had thin skin, he would have taken his ball and gone home a long time ago.
In which case I could claim you were thin-skinned repeatedly until enough people would believe it.
How do you think Joseph Goebbels got asway with his lies?
By repeating them to the point of ad nauseam with support by sources of trust.
Instead of “Pay attention to me”, Trumps response should have been “**** him. I don’t need him to win.”
Trumps antics seem tough to his followers, but he could use some guidance on how to sound strong…not whiney.
Or, his play acting from years of using this Bismarck like fuming to negotiations in business. It is a technique, btw. Most daily negotiations of the public involve some kind of play acting in haggling. Cannot assume by some installed psychoanalysis of Gen. Kelly (who couldn’t possibly be biased) that there is “no control of emotions”. There sure was when working with Wilbur Ross to set the Chinese tariff structure and also motivated Kim Jong Un to try and get out of the clutches as a client state of Chi-Coms (incidentally, Xi tried to kill him for this, and install Kim’s lunatic sadist little sister. We sent treatment, monoclonal antibodies, and other, to Kim when he disappeared on his armored train to the NE coast of N. Korea. Xi killed Kim’s younger brother by poison- in Singapore’s airport. All reported in press).
Well…he ain’t tweeting from the White House, is he? LOL.
“Trump has a Thin Skin and it irritates voters. His rhetoric and inability to contain his emotions is what turns off many voters.”
I don’t think he has a thin skin. It is a tactic he used in his business career. Intimidation and aggravation.
He got out of repaying hundreds of millions$ on loans this way.

Define Loyal? Anyone who disagrees on This Or That, or runs against him, is Disloyal?
There are 3 Donald Trumps
1. The Policy Trump, which is PRETTY DARN GOOD.
2. The Private Trump. From what I have read a pretty good guy.
3. The Public Trump, This is the Thin Skinned Trump. The Trump with the huge (uncontrolled) Ego. This is Not So Good.
Let me say this. All politicians have Large Ego’s. Most of them can control theirs, Donald Trump has a problem with that. And he always has.
Now If he wins the GOP nomination I will Gladly Joyfully vote for him. But lets not pretend The Public Trump is not a problem.
No he would not do that (go home) because that would mean He Lost. In his mind he can never Lose.
Yep
Well put!
...except of course he did NOT lose the stolen election... why would anyone here pretend otherwise...
Way to buy in to the media narrative. Is that you Carville?
Why are so many of you FReepers so gullible you take the media at face value? I guess there are still a lot of subversives still on the forum.
Trump is a New Yorker through and through. He is not going let anyone step on him without fighting back.
It took 3 THREE ADULTS to write this??? LOL!
