Trump Returns
Trump announced from Mar-a-Lago that he is running for president in 2024. He made his speech in front of an indifferent, different kind of audience —country club members who pay to be there and most likely strangers he paid to be there so it would like he had a decent crowd. The usual MAGA rabid halfwits weren’t invited (he doesn’t want them anywhere near where he lives because he thinks they’re all gross). Junior, Ivanka, members of Congress (except for Madison Cawthorn who lost in the primary and hasn’t shown up to work since), and governors were no shows. The only loyalists who showed up were Roger Stone and the My Pillow Guy. Rudy Giuliani wasn’t there. Where’s Rudy? It was a subdued, inattentive audience. Nobody chanted “lock her up!” Some tried to leave early but security wouldn’t let them. He rambled on and on for well over an hour. News networks who have always given him millions and millions of dollars of complimentary attention pulled the plug on him.
Nobody is surprised that he’s running again but the Republicans don’t want him to. They’re over him. Now all they want to do is recover from their Trump bender after they bottomed out and lost everything because they couldn’t quit him. They begged him not to announce until after the Georgia run off but he did it anyway because he’s a malignant narcissist out for revenge. He could care less about the fate of the Republican party. He’s going to do to them what they’ve feared for 6 years — single them out by telling their secrets in public, ruining lives and careers. He’s going to blow up the Republican party because they are no longer loyal to him. The Republicans messed with fire and this time they’re not only going to get burned, they’re going to go up in flames. In the meantime, Trump will grift his cult followers for millions. He thinks that the campaign will protect him from having to go to jail. It won’t.
A criminal who was impeached twice, tried to commit a coup to stay in power, and is under 20 different investigations is running for president again. Members of Congress who were part of the attempted coup are still there. What does that say about America?
For the first time in 7 years one media outlet, NPR, covered Trump correctly: BREAKING: Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, has filed to run for president again in 2024.
If the media had covered Trump properly from the beginning, he would have never won in the first place. Instead, they fed off of the insanity and fed it back to the public by giving him millions and millions of dollars of free TV time. They helped him win. The Republicans may have spent decades building this monster in their laboratory, but the media lifted him up off the table and breathed life into him.
When asked if he had a comment about Trump’s announcement, President Biden said, “Not really.” A half hour after his announcment, Biden’s Twitter account posted a harsh, punch in the gut video of some of Trump’s worst failures as president.
Rupert Murdoch told Trump that he’s over him. He’s no good to him anymore so he’s found a new chump — Ron DeSantis, a younger, smarter, sterilized version of Trump.
Facebook said it will not fact check him during his campaign.
Democrats are looking forward to the fights because they won’t be in any of them. Republicans will be fighting with each other, under the bus where Trump has kicked all of them. At long last, tuning in to Trump won’t cause blood pressures to rise, sleep to be lost, or anxiety attacks. Paying attention to Trump will be funny. Laughter!
Let it burn. Let it all burn. The Republicans didn’t stop him when they could and should have, so now they’re all going to get burned.
Time to replace the red MAGA hat with Biden’s aviator sunglasses to protect our eyes from the blinding, burning light of the GOP bonfire. Cool shades can help liberals identify each other in a crowd like masks used to. While MAGAs feel the heat, Dems will be giving each other the “it’s cool” nod and then they’ll laugh and laugh and laugh.
