Has Trump really turned on Kari Lake, one of his loudest cheerleaders?

Has Trump really turned on Kari Lake, one of his loudest cheerleaders? Arwa Mahdawi Arwa Mahdawi Her biggest political accomplishment was losing Arizona’s gubernatorial race in 2022 – and now Trump and his team think she might be too thirsty for attention

Sat 8 Jul 2023 09.00 EDT Kari Lake’s career goes bung Let’s say you want to be vice-president of the United States but you don’t have any meaningful political experience and you’ve never held public office. What do you do?

For most normal people, the answer would be to build your political career gradually. Start small, work your way up, and hope that one day your hard work gets you one of the biggest jobs in the world.

But Kari Lake, a self-described “election-denying deplorable” who has helped boost conspiracy theories about Covid vaccines and once called Anthony Fauci an “evil elf”, is not like most normal people. Her two-pronged strategy for rising to the top of the political world? 1) Say as many bigoted and outlandish things as possible, in a bid to generate headlines. 2) Become Donald Trump’s loudest lapdog.

I’ve paid close attention to politics for a half century. I’ve been doing polling and other analysis, including with other Freepers in 2016, for Team Trump. I’ve worked with Richard Baris and Steve Bannon.

NEVER have I seen a campaign implode faster and more spectacularly than DeSoros. Phil Gramm and Steve Forbes and Fred Thompson come to mind as guys who had either a lot of money out of the gate or a lot of name recognition or both then flamed out quickly. But none of them started sinking BEFORE they announced. In almost all cases, it’s a “doll on a shelf” that looks good before you break the arms off.

But in the case of DeSoros, he started slipping (remember he was at 30% against Trump back in March?) and then absolutely nosedived after he actually started running. Now he will be VERY lucky to hold off Vivek for #2.

Now, just a word on the book deal. I hope everyone realizes this is dirty campaign money. They paid DeSoros $1.2m. Let that sink in.

I have had a #1 NYT bestseller and a #7 bestseller and never came close to a contract like that. I have some access to BOOKSCAN, which tracks actual SALES, not bulk campaign purchases, and DeSoros was in the 150k range (a few hundred thousand less than I have done). So clearly this was a campaign investment-—because while say Random House can’t give the DeSoros campaign $1.2m, it can “pay” him an advance of $1.2m, write off the $1m loss, and DeSoros then DONATES $1.2m to his campaign, which is stupid and corrupt but legal.

Let's go down the Trump memory hole:

The Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, Impeachment 1, Impeachment 2 and Special Prosecutor Investigation…..

Was Trump wrong March 2017, when he accused the Obama/Biden Administration of spying him?

Name a recent POTUS who was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished for the majority of Americans:

Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
US companies were bringing home well paying jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Trump had an excellent Economic Team:

They were brilliant! And do not forget Wilbur Ross.

Funny how Russia was quiet during the Trump Administration. There was no Russian invasion of Ukraine until Biden took over. Why was that?

I hope you remember this:

This was a very memorable and strategic event early into Trump's Administration:

The above is why Putin behaved himself during the Trump Administration. Putin invaded the Ukraine under Biden just like he did under Obama and claimed Crimea.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by the Obama/Biden Weaponized Agencies?

Trump received 11 million more votes in 2020 over 2016. Never has a sitting President lost when receiving more votes in his reelection bid. Trump increased his vote total by almost 17+%. Trump can claim victory in 17 of the 18 bellwether counties but still “lost” according to the Dems/MSM?

Do you really believe that Bumbling Biden received 15 million more votes than Hillary? That is an amazing and unbelievable 23% increase in votes for Bumbling Biden than Hillary. The election was stolen.

DeSantis like Trump will lose to the Dem/MSMelection fraud machine.
