Donald Trump attacked veteran Republican strategist Karl Rove on Thursday, describing the man who advised his 2020 campaign as a traitor to his party and 'a pompous fool'.

Rove. who served as George W. Bush's chief strategist, wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, criticizing Trump's CPAC performance on Sunday and calling on him not to run in 2024.

Trump hit back the next day, calling Rove a 'RINO' - Republican In Name Only.

Rove is a has been, struggling to remain relevant. I met the man once. He sort of reminded me of the giant marshmallow man in Ghostbusters....

Rove’s criticism was unfactual and false. He must have been listening to a different CPAC speech than I heard.

Trump’s achilles heel was always his seeming inability to identify and install trustworthy allies. His downfall was abetted by the quisling traitors in his own inner circle. His decision to eff around with repugnant and irredeemable GOPee instead of launching a new political party is very disheartening and makes the possibilty of winning harder, not easier. GOPee Delenda Est!

“Trump has already endorsed Scott.”

Rick Scott? The Rick Scott who told Mike Wallace that Biden “absolutely!” won the election fair and square? THAT Rick Scott?

I can’t stand him. Another reason to not watch FOX.

Before Trump’s speech the other day Rover was on there talking about how Trump had lost the suburban vote and that’s why he lost the election. No commentary on the fact that he won all but one bellwether county or that he won 2500 counties versus Biden’s 425.

Also no commentary about RAT cheating on steroids. Trump did NOT LOSE the election.

I think the main reason just about all of us dumped Fox is because they did not even challenge the results they did not even question the obvious irregularities and inconsistencies in the voting patterns.

And then you have a guy like Karl Rover who should know better. He should be the first one in line questioning the results at least give us an explanation. No he can’t give any explanation he can’t explain anything that happened . On the other hand I’m reading Dick Morris these days and he is spot on and realizes there’s something wrong took place.

I bet you behind closed doors, all of them concede that the election was stolen, but maybe they don’t want to admit this can actually happen in the United States

“I bet you behind closed doors, all of them concede that the election was stolen, but maybe they don’t want to admit this can actually happen in the United States.”

It’s worse. As you said, they believe the election was stolen. And they admit (to themselves) that it can happen in the U.S. — because it did. It’s their new-found liberal ideology that is causing them to report lies and further the false narrative, just like the rest of the MSM.

I agree. Trump should not run again in 2024. The elections are totally corrupted. President Trump should be restored to office TODAY.

Rove is a snake that ate an elephant.

He is a disgusting individual.

I have more respect for a street whore.

Remember in 2006 after all Karl Roves backed candidates lost and he was bragging about how he actually saved the Republican Party by losing less then he thought they would

He’d get absolutely hammered on a national stage...not only cause Trump supporters hate him...but his ties to Dennis Hastert and the fact he actually was missing votes in the senate while he was working out would doom him against the DNC machine

Our President has known Tokyo Rove is a quisling pos for years but now he is free to say so. It’s a beautiful thing!

Rove is a great example of where they tried to point conservatism: wars in the Middle East and tax cuts and open borders because of muh free market and acting like you care about abortion in election years (looking for any possible way out on the issue). It’s as if people like Rove and those who fund the GOPe saw Pat Buchanan’s 1992 speech and said “We will do the opposite.”

They warped Reagan’s economic agenda into a quasi religion, took Reagan’s biggest mistake (amnesty) and made it into a pillar of their platform, and manipulated the conservative natural support for the military (and Evangelicalism) into the agenda of Dick Cheney, John Bolton, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, David Frum, and the rest of the neocons.

Trump continues to be a near-perfect litmus test. That said, Rove, while certainly pompous, is no fool. RINO? One of the worst of them.
