He was consumed by anger when he won the election in 2016. Rather than celebrating, he delivered <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=33644\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an inaugural address with the theme of <em>&#8220;American Carnage.&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> And to no one&#8217;s surprise, his anger was multiplied many fold when he lost in 2020. For nearly three years now Trump has been whining about having been decisively beaten by President Joe Biden, a man he calls <em>&#8220;Sleepy&#8221;<\/em> or <em>&#8220;Crooked&#8221;<\/em> and who he thinks is both crippled by senility and driven by evil genius.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57605\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Hypes Hostile \u2018Trump Revenge Tour\u2019 Promising that \u2018If He Wins He\u2019ll Be Out for Blood\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday Trump posted a comment on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57278\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, that once again illustrates just how demented he is. For several months Trump has been hammering at his competition for the 2024 Republican nomination for president. His main target has been Florida governor, Ron DeSantis. At every opportunity Trump lashes out at DeSantis, the only GOP candidate other than Trump who is in double digits in the polls. And in this case Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/110821488471104776\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reacted<\/a> to the news that GOP campaign strategist, Ed Rollins, had quit the DeSantis <em>&#8220;Ready for Ron&#8221;<\/em> super PAC&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Highly respected political pundit Ed Rollins just quit the DeSanctimonious Campaign saying that Ron is a highly &#8216;FLAWED CANDIDATE,&#8217; whose poll numbers are crashing.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Giving credit where it&#8217;s due, DeSantis is indeed a <em>&#8220;highly &#8216;FLAWED CANDIDATE.'&#8221;<\/em> Which might explain why his campaign has been going almost straight down ever since it began. Also, Rollins is a <em>&#8220;Highly respected political pundit&#8221;<\/em> in Republican campaign circles. However, Trump&#8217;s praise is peculiar for several reasons, as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/republicans-bad-news-2024-strategist-1816427\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reported by Newsweek<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To begin with, Trump is celebrating that Rollins departed the DeSantis PAC. But he must have forgotten that previously Rollins worked for Trump&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Great America&#8221;<\/em> PAC, which he left to go to work for DeSantis. So if quitting the DeSantis campaign reflects badly on DeSantis, the same thing must be true for quitting the Trump campaign. More to the point, after criticizing DeSantis, Rollins went on to say that with Trump as the GOP nominee&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;At the end of the day, I don&#8217;t see how Trump is a viable presidential candidate in part because of his legal problem. [but] unless something serious happens, Biden is probably going to get a second term&#8230;and I could even see Republicans losing their majority in the House.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So the <em>&#8220;highly respected political pundit&#8221;<\/em> that Trump is praising so profusely for his good political sense, is predicting that Trump is going to lose again to Joe Biden. And Trump&#8217;s effect on the broader electoral landscape will also likely swing the House majority to the Democrats. And the same guy had the good sense to quit both the DeSantis and Trump campaigns. Sounds like a pretty savvy strategist. But don&#8217;t anybody tell Trump or it might trigger yet another meltdown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57530\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Snowflake Trump Whines to DOJ that \u2018An Indictment of Me Would Only Further Destroy Our Country\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After eight years of Donald Trump demonstrating that he is a marginally cognitive, compulsively lying, malignant narcissist, it seems hard to imagine that he can still surprise anyone with his blustering idiocy and persistent state of blind rage.
