Former President Donald Trump lashed out at evangelicals for not supporting his latest presidential campaign, saying it was a “sign of disloyalty” after he appointed three conservative Supreme Court justices and made their long-held dream of overturning Roe v. Wade possible.
Trump, 76, told Real America’s Voice’s “The Water Cooler” Monday that the religious bloc of voters who were key to his 2016 victory have not yet come out to back his 2024 White House bid.
“That’s a sign of disloyalty,” Trump told host David Brody. “There’s great disloyalty in the world of politics, and that’s a sign of disloyalty.”

I’m actually not surprised. Eventually, evangelicals an Christians in general will be blamed for everything. Remember that as far as the world is concerned, WE are the problem.
Although I’m not surprised, I am shocked.
“I disagree. Is it Trump who never learns, or his supoorters?”
A totally irrelevant question. The voters get to decide, not Trump. If he can’t convince them to support him, that’s 100% on him.
"I don't really care. Look, that's a sign of disloyalty," Trump said. "There's great disloyalty in the world of politics. And that's a sign of disloyalty, because nobody, as you know, -- and you would know better than anybody because you do such great job -- nobody has ever done more for Right To Life, than Donald Trump.
"I put three Supreme Court Justices, who all voted, and they got something they've been fighting for, for 64 years -- or many many years. And nobody thought they could win it. They won. Roe v. Wade. They won. They finally won." Trump said he was "disappointed" because he was expecting evangelicals to "have fought much harder, during the election -- during the '22 election. Because they won, and a lot of them, didn't fight or weren't really around the fight and it did energize the Democrats."
"A lot of the people that wanted and fought for years to get it and they sort of -- I don't know they weren't there protesting and doing what they could have done<" he added. "But with all of that being said, there's nobody that's done more for the moment than I have. And that includes the moment of Evangelicals and Christians and the movement very much of Right To Life."

If you believe that Biden legitimately won the election,
++++++++
He’s occupying the WH. That is the objective and what counts.
The real question to be determined is when does VP Harris get
to occupy the Presidents Office. Is during this term or the next
term after two years can step down and we have President Harris.
People need to begin looking forward to Tuesday, November 5,
2024. If the GOP doesn’t come together and get off this fiasco
then we’ll may have a democrat in the office for several years.

exactly, and I bet this article has omitted more than one.
I can’t say I disagree with him.
Same here.
He’s losing it. We evangelicals probably were his biggest supporters.
*************
The way I read it, Trump was talking about some evangelicals at the leadership level.
He is expressing disappointment that they’re looking for other candidates for 2024.
I’m not worried either way, it’s way early for endorsements from organizations without knowing ‘the field’ for the Republican Primaries.
Pence seems to be considering it:

Trump...the man who allowed Fauci to butcher Americans.
He can also FOAD.
DeSantis it is by default as he is all we have left to run in ‘24
Linda Graham is a creep.
I can list thousands of posts where you Desantis fools trash Trump, over and over.
Desantis is scared to declare.
Who is going to beat him?
Troll ...
You are a Trump backstabber. You don’t like his “style”.
Disloyalty ?!
Are we in the Mob or something ?
Politicians SERVE THE PEOPLE.
Not the other way around. And Trump knows this, but his mouth gets moving ahead of his brain at times.
If DeFakeout runs and if by miracle he won in ‘24 he will be the bitch of the Deep State with-in weeks......
I’ve never once called you a name, or tried to coerce you to vote for DeSantis or anyone else. Don’t take people’s dislike of Trump or his poor mannerisms as some attack on your Wife. He’s not.
Treat people with respect, and learn to debate, instead of acting like a message board gangsta. You might finally get your first person to change their support back to Trump, instead of hardening them against him. Or, keep doing what you’re doing.
