For Donald Trump, politics and entertainment are intertwined and often synonymous. His remarkable success at both makes his latest missteps especially puzzling because Trump is committing the cardinal sin of both: He’s become boring.
The ultimate shock jock is now predictable. Wind him up and watch him throw a garbage can full of insults at anyone who won’t kiss the ring. Ho-hum.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin are getting the Trump treatment now. Both are rising Republican stars, so naturally the former president trashes and demeans them. Can’t be competition for top dog.
Long gone is the time when Trump brought fresh blood to the old and tired Republican Party. “Low energy Jeb” brilliantly ended the career of a nominee-in-waiting, and his demolition of Hillary Clinton saved America from a disaster.
Trump’s was a consequential presidency that was far better for America and its global allies than anything produced by his predecessor or his successor. His Operation Warp Speed delivered a COVID-19 vaccine in record time, America was more prosperous and the world was safer and more stable with him in the Oval Office.
Trump achieved those gains despite a corrupt FBI, a conspiratorial Deep State, a rabid media and impeachment-obsessed Dems. He deserved a second term and, had he let his America First policies do the talking, would have had one.
Even after his reckless efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, enough goodwill remained that victory in a 2024 primary and the general election remained possible. But Trump’s conduct in his post-presidency has been so erratic that a declining slice of voters hungers for his return.

Murdoch hit piece.
Look for the Post and all Murdoch entities to join fully the scat flinging against Trump.
America is dead.
True and expect a continuing trend.
Rumor has it that Tuesday’s “Big Announcement” will now not be a declaration of candidacy but rather a celebration of his endorsement victories.
NY Post? Sounds more like they’re kissing DeSantis’ ring.
Yup. They’re out to stop President Trump from running again.
Are his libiot kids in charge yet?
Boring and specious.
Fiddling while Rome’s burning.
Crying about mean tweets.
Politicians are not celebrities or movie stars. They have a job to do and it is not entertain us.
Man, the Murdoch-owned media outlets sure got their marching orders.
Along with half of FR, it seems (the dumb half).
Lachlan Murdoch is CEO of Fox Corporation.
Yesterday, I read a 2 day old article which said Trump endorsed 25 candidates and 17 won, 2 to be decided. So, 2/3 won. Not bad.
Only long enough to keep Trump from being nominated and then its back politics defined by NYC and DC media pundits.
These people have zero integrity. Mock and ostracize them at every possible opportunitu.
Well, we really have to find a conservative that the establishment supports. /s
No, this is not the end of Trump. In fact the way the Democrats “won” vindicates Trump’s claim that election fraud is rampant in many states.
The obvious failure of the heads of the party and of Graham’s blatant sabotage is on display for everyone to see.
Trump is taking credit for the election victories of people like Marco Rubio and Kevin McCarthy, as if he had anything at all to do with their safe bet wins, while dismissing his handpicked turds that cost us the Senate, several statehouses, --and quite possibly the House after everything shakes out.
That should worry anyone. If FOX likes them, trouble is coming. They will be setting him up for the fall to the democrats.
