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!'

Same happened in 2016, I remember all the Cruz supporters all up in arms about Trump back then.
What lie campaign? These are his words, which he wouldn’t have said unless he wanted them out there. I was super happy to vote for him twice, but it’s clear his mental health is not good.
thanks a lot for the full blown Trump TDS LOL instead of hiding the past 2 years. That’s all you post aside from ukraine zelensky boot licking.
Three possibilities...
1) Trump is up to something.
2) Trump has lost his marbles.
3) Deep State has finally gotten control of Trump.
I’m choosing Door #1 until I see hard evidence otherwise.
time to give up then right?
>> an element within the Repub party is the deep state bunch that needs to be run out of politics
Agree, but DeSantis and Youngkin are part of the solution, not part of the problem.
That's a very good point, particularly with respect to Walker who still has to face a runoff. Walker isn't the most verbally adept speaker himself, so I'd imagine it would be pretty easy for the media to put him in a position where he ends up supporting these kind of statements by Trump. And that obviously won't help him trying to win that runoff.
There is no doubt that politicians are ego-driven narcissists. Highly successful ones can mind their manners in general and avoid attacking their teammates in particular. Ronald Reagan was very successful and never spoke ill of anyone. The same was true about Washington and Jefferson. (John Adams was a special pain to TJ, however)
It could be all three.
So he shouldn’t report idiotic things that Trump says?
This isn’t the same country as during Reagan’s time. Reagan also didn’t have social media to contend with.
I have no idea what this means.
Patriots.win is down at the moment.
I don’t think that’s a coinkydink.
He is defending his record because of this new planned massive attack. I wish he would find a different way, but his anger is justified.
Totally cheap to compare that to the Biden state of dementia. That guy who delivered that speech in Ohio the other night showed no signs of dementia.
As someone pointed out yesterday, your worst traits grow stronger as you get older.

Yup. A dear now departed cousin of mine once said, “The older you get, the more you become like yourself”.
Kari Lake and her team have spoken and have not abandoned Trump one iota.
so who will you vote for? Pence?
I wish we could upvote posts so maybe someone close to Trump could see what you said.
A lot of posters I have never seen before are posting about this. Yes, I know some are trolls. But this is upsetting people who have been around a long time and do post but perhaps about other things. It is making many uncomfortable..it is wrong to cast everyone as a Never Trumper just because they see Trump’s behavior as problematic
You beat me to it! And you are 100% right.
The RINO Swampers have to blame someone. Just like the Demicommunists do,"It ain't my fault"'
