Donald Trump has stepped up his attacks on Republicans and potential 2024 presidential election rivals by saying Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin couldn't have won without his support.
The former president wrote on Friday morning that 'Young Kin' is a name that 'sounds Chinese' and that he helped him get the 'MAGA vote' in his victory over Democrat Terry McAuliffe in November 2021.
It comes after Trump laid into Ron DeSantis by calling him 'average' and claimed that he sent in the FBI to 'stop ballot theft' when he won the Florida Governor race in 2018.
'Young Kin (now that’s an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn’t it?) in Virginia couldn’t have won without me,' he posted on Truth Social.
'I Endorsed him, did a very big Trump Rally for him telephonically, got MAGA to Vote for him - or he couldn’t have come close to winning. But he knows that, and admits it. Besides, having a hard time with the Dems in Virginia - But he’ll get it done!'

Not only did this rant cost him Virginia, it proved his racism when it comes to Asians.
No they don’t all look alike
And Kim is a common Korean name, not Chinese
And is Trump saying don’t trust a politician with an Asian name?
Sure sounds that way
It would help if Trump stopped posting batsh*t crazy Truths every hour.
I like “The Daily Wail” better
Most people in politics are about themselves or they wouldn’t be in politics. Some say nothing and just roll in the special interest dough, enrich themselves and do whatever the leader says. Some speak out and irritate with maximum venom like Pelosi who makes sure her own financial wheels are greased. Some irritate but have the best interest of Americans in mind. This would be Trump.
There isn’t a single one who hasn’t got a big ego. Trump was also loving enough to award his friend Rush Limbaugh in a most beautiful way for his love of America before his death.
Trump’s the one who’s on a tear.
I report, you decide.
At any rate, after blasting DeSantis (who turned Florida around), using a racial slur to now attack Governor Youngkin (who’s also turned Virginia around) is clearly a symptom of some kind of mental breakdown.

*sigh* I hate to agree, but this is Trump creating a disaster of his own making by sniping at not just people in his party, but really good people in his party like Youngkin or DeSantis.
It’s bad enough he’s demanding some sort of statement of gratitude from them. That’s boorish behavior. Then he’s topping it off with absurd name-calling, like some ill-behaved 13-year old.
And who is Trump attacking before the votes are even counted?
Republicans. The ones who have scored big victories.
Because they didn’t give Donald his due.
Nothing like grace in victory..eh
I get why he is trying to tear down this guy because he is the rumored replacement if Desantis doesn’t bite to run in 2024.
But slurring him with an Asian name is just ridiculous.
Someone should intervene and get him off the net for a hot second.
It’s like a Crazy Ole Grandpa rant
As someone pointed out yesterday, your worst traits grow stronger as you get older.
We are seeing it really bubble to the surface.
It is hacking me off because Trump did great things in the face of constant abuse...and he is burning it down
meh, that is Trump. You take that stuff if you want to win. if I remember Youngkin wasn’t well polished and kind of drab before the win that Trump helped deliver to him.
Im telling you people, Trump has made a deal with the DOJ to avoid real prosecution if he goes after successful Republicans.
No effort is being spared to dump Trump. We shouldn’t contribute.
I know the enemy; see tagline. Furthermore, the Democratic party sees no problem with ILLEGAL immigration, or UNLAWFUL lawful votes (as long as they benefit).
You’ve said it perfectly. There are times when he can be his worst enemy.
so time to quit and vote for Pence 24? Ok dokey.
good grief. Not a NTer but this shit’s getting crazy.
THIS is true.
Crap posting like this makes it impossible for candidates still facing election perils, like Kari Lake and Herschel Walker, to defend Trump.
Intervention is an appropriate term but I think the damage he did to himself in the last week…is mortal
No, actually he didn't.
THIS was the deal offered for everyone here and accepted by some like me...
Our overriding conservative mission on Free Republic is to defend God, family, country!
As it happened, Trump won that 2016 election, Hillary/Bernie were defeated, Trump was President for four years, lost by hook and crook in 2020, and is now out of office.
The terms of that deal were fulfilled.
Now Trump is just making a jackass out of himself after blowing this year's election and lashing out at any of our younger Conservative leaders who he perceives might be a threat to him and his planned vengeance in 2024.
That is unacceptable!
And the last time I checked, supporting Trump to the exclusion of everyone else in the Conservative movement is not in FR's ToS nor a requirement to post and comment on this site, unless another such deal is offered in the future.
He’s really going for broke on the lunatic rant thing.
He’s heading down the Biden dementia path…
Is Trump intentionally trying to sabotage Republicans???????
I have been his hugest supporter but he is going way too far and looking crazy.
I don't believe Trump has a hope in hell of winning the 2024 general election if he were to win the nomination, so he'd likely be near the bottom of my preferred list of nominees. Ahead of anyone like Cheney or Kinzinger, but behind any other option.
