How many times have we heard that Trump is a counterpunch who does not initiate these childless insults but crudely insults his adversaries only when first attacked?
In the world of ever lowering bar of acceptable Trump behavior, a fellow Republican is now worthy of slander by Trump if he merely publicly fails to say "something good about Trump."
The more we permit ourselves to be made silly by fan boy worship, the more ammunition we give the Democrats.
I’m not fan boy worshiping. I’m noticing how people automatically mob up on trump
He doesnt care. He’s got 6 years of he and his family being mobbed up on by everyone from Putin to Hillary and govt agencies. What does he care abut a bunch of uninformed fair weather friends who’ll vote for him regardless.
I’m noting how flighty people are
They’re like the mob in thebHoly Grail who want to burn the witch.
I've been hearing this 'Trump is a counter puncher' business for years, and of late I have a new interpretation of it. Trump's behavior is what you see when a narcissist is dealt what psychologists call a 'narcissistic injury.' They react with over-the-top vitriol over a slight, or a disagreement, real or imagined. They cannot take the slightest criticism, and rarely take advice that contradicts their own preferred course of action. I think DeSantis unwittingly inflicted a narcissistic injury on Trump when he endorsed O'Dea. The endorsement was likely not a rebuke of Trump, and probably had nothing to do with him. But Trump considers it such because O'Dea said he would actively campaign against Trump.
This is why so many people close to Trump end up getting thrown under the bus by him, and he's left with two kinds of people: yes men, and people who expect him to turn on them eventually and therefore have no real loyalty to him.
I've seen many Freepers wishing for a Trump/DeSantis ticket. I hope DeSantis stays as far away from Trump as possible because if he ends up as VP or in a Trump cabinet, he will end up under the bus and a pariah to many Freepers just as Pence did. If Trump runs, I believe he will get the nomination. I hope he gets a running mate who doesn't want to be president, because it will be the end of his or her political career.
I was happy to vote for Trump, and he did great things as president. Even against the tide of constant unfair attacks from the press and the ridiculous campaign from the Commiecrats to remove him from office and criminally prosecute him for made-up crimes like 'collusion.' I defended him to some leftist former friends. I thank him for nominating the Supreme Court justices who ended Roe v. Wade. But now it's time for him to go and let someone else take up the mantle.
