politics

Trump's ENTIRE message is "I might do this, I might do that", and then hold for applause. This is what his followers don't understand. They think he has the same ideals as they do, but they don't understand he's just a clown chasing applause.

They saw his first term, and realized he wasn't going to do Project 2025 stuff, and they immediately turned on him. Even his VP pick. Their focus is so honed into the "Dr Feelgood" bullshit of owning their opponents, that they can't possibly see him absolutely not fucking it up a second time.

Fool a fascist once...

the fact that he didn't have a single negative thing to say about it until people started calling him out on it says everything. the whole "i don't know anything about it" defense is complete fucking horseshit

Trump didn't birth that movement. He (and his hardcore followers) is this movement's useful idiot. If Haley, Cruz, or whoever else had won the nomination in either this or the last election cycle, the Project 2025 initiative would have continued on just as strong.

Trump might be the visible leader of the GOP right now, but he is not really pulling the reigns. The party is gripped with an internal power struggle: they have Trump and his followers with one agenda (and a lot of loud momentum right now), and the P2025 crowd with their own agenda. Sometimes the agendas match up, other times they conflict.

But to see who really has the upper hand just look at where the big money infusions are coming from. Trump's benefactors give money contingent on him following their goals. And for most of them P2025 is the path to their goals.

Once Trump is of no more use to the big money donors they will drop him like a hot potato and move on to their next proxy.

When the twice-impeached ex-president and convicted felon took to social media...

Ooof. Facts are brutal.

Kind of a stunning level of self awareness for Trump...

Trump throws his loyalists under the bus whenever they are a liability.

He can say whatever he wants because the non-maga republicans will say "oh he doesn't like it, he changed his mind" and single issue vote republican. If he wins and gets to office and puts all those things into effect he lied and said he didn't like, jokes on them.

Maga chuds just like whatever he likes. If they love it and he says he doesn't, no worries because they'll flip at the drop of a hat. If he gets to office and acts on implementing it no worries either because they'll flip again and make up some bullshit about how they knew from the get-go because it's "part of the plan"

Trump is a useful idiot that, like with his last presidency, will just implement the prepackaged stuff that is handed to him.

Justices, department appointees, legislation, etc. When he was in office he basically just rubber stamped dumb right wing stuff that was packaged up from places like the Heritage foundation.

He WILL do the same thing this time around.

Local man upset at the consequences of his own actions

If you're upset that the American public discovered what you plan to do while in office and think it may harm your campaign, then you are a fascist. There is no gray area here.

Hmm.. associating and implementing policies for radical religious fruitcakes backfires....

What a weird, old response?

Hey hey hey. They are ALL lunatics. And creepy weirdos. Scum like donnie and the freaks in the Heritage Foundation deserve each other.

I really hope they keep on the project 2025 attacks, because you can easily tie so many of those heritage foundation pricks directly to trump and his previous administration. He can say all he wants that he isn't associated with them and wont let them near the whitehouse, but he'd have to have an entire new group of advisors to be able to do that.

"Oh, this fascist roadmap? Well I don't know anything about that, ha ha, how'd that get there."

Shouldn’t have wrote it in the first place.

When Trump has become the "more" sane one in the room.
