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.

Not a popular opinion around here but I am not huge fan of Lake. Not my favorite. Just something about her.

She has none of President Trump’s charm and humor.

She cut her hair short.

She look TV-Style “Presidential” before.

Yes I know it’s sexist, but it’s also a reality.

Short hair on a woman is not attractive (to me).

Especially on top of getting fat and dumpy.

But all their girlfriends tell them “Oh it’s so cute!” while their husbands fume and wonder when they married a short-fat guy.

There, I said it.

I like Kari. She is a fighter and I do not think she or Trump have turned on each other. I also am repulsed by that pig Hernandez trying to insinuate there was anything between Trump and Lake other than camaraderie.

I’ll wait and hear it from Trump’s mouth. He’s outspoken enough to say it himself.

The Guardian is not friends of conservatives in the UK nor the USA. It is all left wing propaganda of the Guardian. Perhaps it is true. If it comes from the Guardian you do not know what is true.

I am not a fan of Arizona cheating in their elections and refusing to provide suitable ballots for Republican precincts such as Maricopa county.

That bothers me.

And that is actually a substantial concern.

Total fake news...just like she pointed out, last week they were saying she lives at Maralago and now they’ve gone in reverse to see what sticks.

I agree. Trump has thrown most if not all of his friends and associates under the bus. If he has a problem with Lake, it will soon come out in one of his Trump Social posts.

Well, it’s untrue anyway. Kari Lake is a strong woman, and a fighter. Perhaps those are traits you don’t find appealing in women? I like her just fine. I see her on War Room , and enjoy listening to her. She’s almost a s good as Trump when it comes to eviscerating people, especially those in the press. 🙂

Kari is the best thing to happen to Arizona in decades

From the article:

Alas, it seems that Lake may have flown just a little too close to the sun. Despite her sycophancy (she once told Piers Morgan that Trump is so powerful he wouldn’t even need a vice-president), there are reports that Trump has soured on his protege. His newfound objections? Lake likes the limelight too much, apparently. She’s a “spotlight hound”, one Trump adviser complained to the Daily Beast. When Trump thinks you’re too thirsty for attention, that’s really saying something.

If Trump really has turned on Lake, is this the end of her career? Unfortunately, I doubt it. Her hopes of being Trump’s running mate may have hit a snag, but she’s still got her eyes on a Senate seat. “She’s a shameless, ruthless demagogue who wants power and will do whatever she has to do to get it,” a Trump adviser complained to the Daily Beast. Which is exactly the sort of person who tends to do well in modern politics.

Another supporter in line to be stabbed in the back by Trump?
