Trump’s greatest weaknesses are while being against the Swamp, continually picking Swamp members for his leadership positions - and his immature attacks on others that aren’t worth it.

He lined his cabinet with those out to get him! That list is long........

Trump has nothing to pick from. The body politic is rotten from head to toe. That is not his fault.

If you go into a garden that has wilted and rotten fruit with an empty basket you will come out with fetid fruit.

That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing. I know that Gaetz was very vocal and adamant about being the only one, but that could have all been before MTG entered Congress. I tried to briefly look it up and haven’t seen anything one way or the other yet, but will keep it in mind.

I would have liked to have seen her standing with Gaetz opposing McCarthy, but this is yet to play out fully. They were very close at one time, with Boebert now filling that role of being the most outspoken female on the far right, now more it seems. Will be interesting to see the new landscape of players later this year.

NBC is worthless if you want the real news and not the Democrat take on it.

He was the worst deficit spender in history, even worse than Obama. He should’ve used the Veto Pen and called out the corruption, fraud, and waste.

Want to see how “worthless” it is? Watch what happens if Trump withdraws his endorsement....

He hasn’t been since his first trip to Davos. Which appears to be 2018. In his speech he said it was ‘hid first time as President’s not his first time, ever.

This is an indication of how much Trump was damaged by the midterms. Republicans now feel free to ignore him and even openly criticize him without fear of repercussions from him or his supporters

I don’t necessarily think the midterms damaged Trump, I believe that WE LOVE Trump HOWEVER we have come to realize that Trump is HORRIBLE at choosing people who surround him!! We have actually watched and seen EVERY damn statement and action these LOSERS have made Trump has not AND is listening to advisors and consultants ALL of whom are SWAM CREATURES!!!

We helped make Trump because we believe in MAGA.

Trump may no longer be MAGA, but we still are and we will carry on.

If we have to move forward without Trump, that is fine.
