It’s another Monday morning and another day of cranky kvetching by America’s biggest crybaby<\/a><\/strong>, Donald Trump. Once again he is wallowing in victimhood at the hands of the meanies in the media, or as he refers to call them so tediously, “fake news.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

On this occasion Trump was triggered by an ABC News story<\/a><\/strong> previewing one of the revelations in an upcoming book by veteran journalist Jonathan Karl. In the book, “Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show<\/a><\/strong>,”<\/em> Trump spoke with the Republican National Committee chair, Ronna McDaniel, and delivered a bold threat. According to Karl…<\/p>\n

“In an angry conversation on his final day as president, Donald Trump told the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee he was leaving the GOP and creating his own political party — and that he didn’t care if the move would destroy the Republican Party. […] Trump only backed down when Republican leaders threatened to take actions that would have cost Trump millions of dollars.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In response, Trump released a statement<\/a><\/strong> (via his Twitter ban defying spokes-shill<\/a><\/strong>) making a predictable and familiar charge that…<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a totally made up and fabricated story, it\u2019s Fake News. Jonathan Karl is a third-rate reporter working for ABC Non-News. ABC Non-News and 3rd rate reporter Jonathan Karl have been writing Fake News about me from the beginning of my political career.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Karl’s book says that he has “two sources with direct knowledge of these events.”<\/em> They report that McDaniel “called to wish [Trump] farewell [and that] It was a very un-pleasant conversation.”<\/em> Elaborating on this, Karl wrote that…<\/p>\n

“Donald Trump was in no mood for small talk or nostalgic goodbyes. He got right to the point. He told her he was leaving the Republican Party and would be creating his own political party. The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., was also on the phone. The younger Trump had been relentlessly denigrating the RNC for being insufficiently loyal to Trump. In fact, at the January 6 rally before the Capitol Riot, the younger Trump all but declared that the old Republican Party didn’t exist anymore.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Karl also related the following exchange between Trump and McDaniel:<\/p>\n

“I’m done,” Trump told McDaniel. “I’m starting my own party.”
\n“You cannot do that,” McDaniel told Trump. “If you do, we will lose forever.”
\n“Exactly. You lose forever without me,” Trump responded. “I don’t care.” […]
\n“This is what Republicans deserve for not sticking up for me.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Karl, Trump eventually backed down after McDaniel issued threats of her own. She told Trump that if he left the Party it would cease to pay his quite substantial legal bills. And even more troubling for Trump, the Party would withhold the campaign’s email list containing some forty million Trump supporters who were worth millions of dollars to Trump politically and personally. That was the kicker.<\/p>\n

Naturally Trump is dismissing all of this in his customary fashion by throwing a tantrum. But he had no objections Karl’s reporting back in June when a passage from the book was released that revealed what his Attorney General, Bill Barr, had to say<\/a><\/strong> about his baseless claims of election fraud. Barr confessed that…<\/p>\n

“My attitude was: It was put-up or shut-up time. If there was evidence of fraud, I had no motive to suppress it. But my suspicion all the way along was that there was nothing there. It was all bull\u2014-.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trump’s fantasies about starting a third party would have zero chance of success. Unless his definition of success is damaging the Republican Party, which he is doing anyway. But whether or not Trump leaves the Party, there are plenty of long-time members who are leaving<\/a><\/strong> because they can no longer stomach Trump’s lies and disloyalty to the nation. Which is precisely how the majority of the American people feel. In the end, we don’t care if he goes with the GOP or his own party. We just want him to go.<\/p>\n
