The flagrant failures of Donald Trump are becoming so unwieldy and impossible to ignore that even the most hard core, right-wing Republicans are beginning to speak out about it. They are starting to recognize that dodging reality is going to have a more severe impact on the GOP’s electoral prospects than failing to suck up to Dear Leader Trump.<\/p>\n

What’s more, the once MAGA faithful who are tenderly distancing themselves from Trump’s self-serving fantasies are doing it openly on Trump’s official televised Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News.

On Monday morning the longtime conservative political strategist, Karl Rove, was interviewed on Fox News in a segment about the economy. Host Shannon Bream introduced him by reading an excerpt from an op-ed allegedly written by Trump that was published this weekend in Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal. The portion that Bream read was a defense of his tariffs that was riddled with more of the lies that Trump has repeatedly told on this subject. When asked for his response, Rove said that…<\/p>\n

“That piece in the Wall Street Journal is ‘the economy is great.’ That’s not what people feel. Last year we lost 70,000 manufacturing jobs. We lost 145,000 blue collar jobs…Blue-collar consumer confidence is at a record low since 1976 when they began asking the question.<\/p>\n

“The top 20% of the American population is responsible for 75% of the GDP. The bottom 80% is responsible for the remaining 25% of the GDP. The lower income households are bearing a bigger burden of inflation because the things that they have to pay for, like rent and utilities, have risen higher.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
