TRUMP GETS PLAYED. What is sure to be one of the weirder moments of the 2024 presidential campaign has just taken place before the campaign is even fully underway.
Here is the short version: Just before Thanksgiving, former President Donald Trump had dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Kanye West, Nick Fuentes, and Milo Yiannopoulos. West is the famous rapper, businessman, and reported bipolar disorder patient who says he will run for president in 2024, a campaign he began last month by announcing on Twitter that he was "going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE," a threat that brought him widespread condemnation and the loss of lucrative contracts. Fuentes, who many readers might not have heard of, is a 24-year-old white nationalist self-promoter who has sought publicity and online donations with a long series of racist and antisemitic statements and is now, apparently, working for West's so-called campaign. Yiannopoulos is a 38-year-old British provocateur who has spent a good part of his life doing the same sort of thing that Fuentes does and is now apparently also working for YE24, which is how West, who wants to be known simply as "Ye," refers to his presidential campaign.
What do they have in common? Well, Fuentes and Yiannopoulos are joined in a quest to exploit West's money and fame. But as far as politics is concerned, the greater similarity is that they are all lowlifes who should never be allowed near a former president of the United States, much less a current candidate for president. And yet Trump shared a table at Mar-a-Lago with them. The event quickly leaked because that is precisely what West, Fuentes, and Yiannopoulos intended. The usual suspects in the media and political world immediately denounced Trump.

From Byron York.....please.
Very TRUE statement.
This is a story designed specifically to stir up the "pearl-clutchers' here on FR.
Yes
Wasn’t aware of that. Would like to see the deets.
Yes but Milo’s in a vulnerable phase of his life due to the “newness” of his reversion/moral recovery.
“...This is a story designed specifically to stir up the “pearl-clutchers’ here on FR...”
And from some of the posts, it looks like it worked, sadly...
As I said elsewhere: this is a fart in a hurricane.
It’s trivial, even when you inflate the importance of these people in order to repudiate them and any support they might have to offer.
Finally, a reminder: the president is president of everybody, even the knuckleheads.
I do NOT place you in that category.
Next thing you now, Trump will be dining with Jeremiah Wright nd his fanbois will be defending him.
It’s getting pretty crowded under the train...
Luckily there’s a bus available.
Yeah, and you deserve a RINO as your leader. How about Tim Scott? He is running. He probably has dinner with Mitch and Lisa Murkowski.
I would rather dine with thise other guys.
How many people that you didn’t know sat at your dinner table?
According to the leftist spin you mean...out of context of course.
Yeah, and DeSantis took money from Trump and went to Trump for support when wanting to be Florida Governor and Trump supported him. Trump and DeSantis had a pic together on Desantis’s wiki page.
DeSantis should have never been seen or had pics taken with Trump.
The Jeremiah Wright thing was a really cheesy and cheap shot.
Who care? Nobody ever heard of him until every supposed Freeper in the world started posting these stupid stories about a nothing burger...all based on leftist reporting.
