In anticipation of Donald Trump’s “big announcement” tonight, a predictable (and predictably small) MAGA mob has been scuttling around outside Trump Tower, trying to to drum up enthusiasm for the down-and-out former president.
“Ron has gotten too big for his britches,” one red-capped fellow says as they stomp on a flag of Ron DeSantis. “He’s out!” another shouts. “It’s Trump or death.” (See first video.)
“We’re very happy for the announcement tonight,” one of the same guys says in a second video (below). “We’re very excited, because we’ve been kind of like on the down-low since Jan. 6th, but I think that gets all erased tonight. I think the Trump supporters are going to come out in masses.”
Meanwhile, the “masses” are nowhere to be seen.
The protestors, who look about as tired as the years-old phrase “Trump or death,” do their best to hoist up their fading king, but try as they might, January 6th it ain’t. If the post-midterm aftermath continues on the trajectory it’s been speeding down, those glory days for the one-term president will be gone for good.

As of yesterday, nearly 15,000 Christians had so far signed… READ THE REST
In the same week that Ivanka Trump announced she would not take part in Daddy Trump’s 2024 campaign, she also hired her own attorney to get herself excluded from a court-appointed monitor that is watching over her — and the rest of her family’s — finances. But, predictably, her last-ditch effort was fruitless, as a… READ THE REST
Along with Trump-repelled voters who didn’t show up for midterm MAGA candidates, prominent evangelicals seem to be souring on Donald Trump as well. For instance, televangelist James Robison, president of Life Outreach International, told a conservative political group Wednesday night, “If Mr. Trump can’t stop his little petty issues, how does he expect people to… READ THE REST
