Did Trump stumble into this Persona-Non-Grata’s ploy?

Why would a black guy befriend a white supremacist? Even if the two share the same Jew hatred, there is a titanic chasm between them.

It has been reported that Kanye West and Donald Trump had dinner together at Mar-a-Lago. Kanye was not the only guest. Although he was the only authorized guest, he did not arrive alone. He took the liberty of bringing along with him the infamous white supremacist, Nick Fuentes.

Trump claimed later that he had never met Fuentes and knew nothing about his background. But the headlines coming out of the meeting with the two antisemites, where one of whom was a white supremacist, may be very damaging to Trump’s ambition of emulating Grover Cleveland’s second, non-consecutive, successful run for the White House. As a result of the dinner’s reverberation, Trump may lose support among blacks, Hispanics, Jews and many independents who despise racism and bigotry, while providing fresh and broad exposure to Kanye, who would, later on, chew over the nature, the gist, and the back-and-forth between him and Trump.

Trump Dined at Mar-a-Lago with White Nationalist, Holocaust Denier Nick Fuentes & Kanye West

UPDATE: After the publication of this article, Trump’s campaign provided Breitbart News with this statement from President Trump: “Kanye West very much wanted to visit Mar-a-Lago. Our dinner meeting was intended to be Kanye and me only, but he arrived with a guest whom I had never met and knew nothing about.”

Still, a bad look.

Populism is bigger than Trump

America’s populist revolt must free itself from the mire of Trumpism.

It’s been more than seven years since Donald Trump first announced his candidacy for US president. Remember him waving, as he glided down that big gold escalator in Trump Tower? The prospect of a Trump presidency was essentially a joke back then. Among the journalists present, many of them were new on the job, given the assignment as a bit of a laugh. ‘I was thinking this will be something goofy and funny to cover’, one reporter who was there told Politico in 2019, in a piece looking back on that fateful day. Fast forward to 2022 and Trump has just launched his bid for re-election, following his ousting by Democrat Joe Biden at the 2020 election, to a crowd of adoring fans and hangers-on at his Florida resort.

I love Trump but DeSantis may be the stronger candidate. But never count The Donald out.

Ivanka: I’m out — for good

Yowza. At one time, Team Trump pushed the idea that Ivanka Trump could become the next generation of a political dynasty. She served a critical role in her father’s term as both a key advisor and to some extent a calm and moderating PR presence in a chaotic White House.

Love Trump but I never cared much for his daughter and son-in-law serving in the White House. That said Ivanka’s adios may be a sign that Trump should not pursue the 2024 nomination.

Blaming Trump

It is truly startling to review the extent to which conservative thinkers, writers, and commentators have joined in the vituperative Democrat and media campaign against their former president and benefactor. Blaming Trump causes evident glee in conservatism’s enemies, who have had Trump in their crosshairs for six years and more. Democrats report conservative disputes and backbiting with great satisfaction. We should not endorse such strategic machinations, which demoralize our side and give succor and aid to those who wish us permanently in the political wilderness — a wish, if things do not change, they may well realize.

Donald Trump announces 2024 presidential run to make US ‘great and glorious again’

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump ended months of speculation and launched his bid to retake the White House in 2024 Tuesday, in an early attempt to clear the GOP primary field ahead of a potential rematch against Joe Biden.

“Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, America’s comeback starts right now,” Trump, 76, told hundreds of cheering supporters who gathered in the ornate ballroom of his Mar-a-Lago resort for the official announcement.

When you’ve lost Scott Adams…

… Scott Adams has survived prolonged attempts by liberals to “cancel” him for his fierce loyalty to Donald Trump from the beginning of his first campaign. His anti-Trump detractors never stopped him, but he clearly lost some book sales because of his choice. Some liberal outlets accused him of having been “hypnotized by Trump.” (As if that’s the only way a rational person could have supported the previous president.)

But now he’s apparently done.

Midterm results may be the end of Trump.

Donald Trump will launch White House run if Republicans win midterms

Donald Trump is set to announce his third run for the US presidency after an anticipated return to power for the Republicans in Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

His inner circle is discussing plans to launch his 2024 presidential campaign on November 14, according to the Axios news website, just two days after his daughter Tiffany’s wedding at his Mar-A-Lago club in Florida.

Why It Has to Be Trump

It is striking to consider the number of conservatives and Republican stalwarts who insist that Trump should not run in 2024 and should cede the field to Ron DeSantis. I have come across this argument time and again, and it never ceases to baffle me. Even one of my astute and celebrated editors at another outlet cannot disguise his animus against Trump, which I find as astonishing as it is myopic…

Trump’s Greatest Achievement That No One Is Talking About: Flushing Out the Swamp Commies

President Trump is a lot like the Godfather movies. Part I was great, but Part II might be even better.

We can talk about Trump’s successes for days — the wall, the re-writing of NAFTA, low gas prices, etc. But let’s focus on Trump’s most important achievement of them all: he forced the hand of the swamp commies, and now we can see who they are.

Trump criticizes US Jews: They don’t appreciate enough what I did for Israel

Former US President Donald Trump on Sunday published a post in his Truth Social app in which he argued that American Jews do not appreciate what he has done for Israel.

“No President has done more for Israel than I have. Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S.,” he wrote.

New life for Musk-Twitter deal raises the Trump question

Elon Musk’s renewed interest in purchasing Twitter is again raising the prospect that its most famously banned user could be allowed back.

Former President Trump has been adamant that he will stick with Truth Social, the fledgling social media platform he helped found, regardless of whether he is welcomed back to Twitter. But experts and Trump allies believe the allure of the massive Twitter audience would be too great to resist, putting his future there front and center as the Musk deal shows new signs of life.

We all hope Musk is a savior but he has some very iffy ties to the CCP and I wonder if he hopes good PR will mitigate these serious concerns in the public eye.

Trump Sues CNN

Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against CNN, claiming the outlet defamed him and did so out of fear he will run for president again in 2024.

The suit, which was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, argues CNN has tried to use its influence to smear Trump politically and prevent him from launching a bid for re-election.

The suit alleges Trump has been a “long-time critic” of CNN, “not because CNN does a bad job of reporting the news, but because CNN seeks to create the news.”
