Trump's post on Truth social lambasting MTG for being interviewed on 60 Minutes sounds like the ranting of an adolescent:

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115684406134734247

Jesus f***ing Christ, she helped him get elected. She basically helped keep him out of prison. If Trump had not been elected you would be seeing the complete forced dissolution of his businesses and arrests and indictments against every single fucking Trump family member. MTG disagreed with policy and he escalated to full on personal attack. Fuck Trump for that. Fucking goddamned idiot.

I wonder if Trump has some dementia onset? This was always true but his hyper narcissist tenderness over anything that deviates from his thinking is a big liability.

His current track record:

He's giving big tech absolutely anything it wants. While utility rates skyrocket everywhere there are data centers being built everywhere.

He's giving Israel anything Bibi wants. Israel is practically a fourth branch of the US government at this point. BTW fuck Israel.

Hate speech if you criticize Israel.

Intervention into Venezuela strictly as a business concession. More "nation building" under lies and fabricated reasons.

US debt still skyrocketing.

Inflation still high, driven by that US debt.

Rampant escalating politically driven violence in the US. (Re: Tim Pool's compound shot at over the weekend while the left cackles and sneers.) Rampant violence in the US escalating in general.

YEAH, deportations, but the numbers are miniscule compared to the actual problem, and it's causing essentially civil war in those areas. No control of the ensuing violence/rioting.

Also: NO SIGNIFICANT RETRIBUTION. Examples - Alejandro Majorkas, NOTHING. Comey, NOTHING.

NOT ONE DEMOCRAT HAS PAID **ANY** PRICE FOR THE LIES, IMPRISONMENTS AND SLANDERS.

Much more.

I'm more forgiving about his lack of impact on Ukraine but that involves two other players (Ukraine and Russia) but still he was totally BSing about solving it in 24 hours. also I am not counting the trade and tariff policy. I personally think tariffs had to be done some time to counter mainly China but the economy is practically prostrate so it's a horrible time to impose harsh economic measures.

And yes, I don't take and never have taken anything Trump says literally so I'm not playing that game. But his presidency seems quite hollow compared to the promise.

Not certain about JD Vance. He appears to be a tool of the surveillance state and big tech. Palantir basically wants to own every piece of data about you.

The only unqualified win I can see arising from this administration is the essential elimination of wokism from public life and policy. But this is also be a shift in the public sentiment.

Promises made and hardly kept. Oh, but he can spend untold energy getting the zingers off.

Quite a few on the right have utterly unqualified faith in Trump's intentions and ability to get desirable results - and you faithfully follow anything he says, such as "primary Massie" so Massie is now a P.O.S. because Trump said so.

If the 2024 election were held today I would not vote for any presidential candidate. Trump didn't deserve my vote.

My assessment: Trump's administration will not move the needle on avoiding system collapse. Above and beyond points I made above this is the main thing and this is due to increasing military obligations combined with uncontrolled spending and profound polarization.

In fact several negative trends are accelerating such as the debt spending as well as political violence.

He's had his chance, we will soon lose congress, and nothing will get done. But he'll keep insulting and character assassinating anyone who helped him. Which to him is a good use of his attention and energy.

Trump is still the best president we could have right now at this point in history.

That is basically saying the US is a failed state.

I still wouldn't vote for him again. I would abstain my vote.

I'm sick and tired and done with Trump's substanceless zingers and personal attacks.

Trump is not God so his saying something does not will it into existence. :-P

Trump's insult machine was funny, edgy, and focused attention on real issues ten years ago. It's gotten tiresome.

I'd give him a pass if he was accomplishing substantive things on civil order and the economy.

But for me Trump's zingers register today as "DO YOUR FUCKING JOB AND STOP SCREWING AROUND."

Trump polling crashing and Trump is clueless - he has lost the plot

Glenn Greenwald again:

https://youtu.be/xLHW2bGzTFk?si=WnPbtrNiN_YDxGeP&t=498

The time point I'm sharing is characterizing how WH staffers are currently trying to educate Trump on what average Americans think of their lives and the economy, esp. cost of living, but Trump is stuck on saying back that the economy is great. He is defending that position to staff who are giving him reality lessons.

In 2016 Trump had a razor sharp focus on the strongest concerns of average people. Today in 2025 Trump is almost completely out of touch.

Importantly this means 1) he's not taking the cost of living crisis seriously and 2) the House will probably be lost in the midterms.

In a slightly longer timeframe this puts huge negative pressure on the 2028 campaign.

All Trump would have to do about cost of living is bullshit that he understands the exact problem and that he is working on solutions. His base would probably buy it long enough to give them breathing room. IOW he doesn't have to DO anything. But he has no idea. He's lost the optics.

Stop sniffing Trump's farts: MTG on 60 Minutes

I like MTG, but why the public fight? Why spill your guts on "The View" and 60 Minutes and trash President Trump? So, she has different ideas about what he should be doing as President. So what?

I agree with her that Trump hasn't concentrated enough on domestic issues, but she doesn't consider the cards he was dealt. Biden left a world at war and Trump had to deal with it. He works tirelessly to handle our out of control world.

I don't like his insults at all and think he should clean up his act. More later . . .

I like MTG, but why the public fight?

Trump had already attacked her. The social post I quoted was after the TV interview.

Why spill your guts on "The View" and 60 Minutes and trash President Trump?

I see it quite differently.

First of all, I don't like 60 Minutes either but Fox probably wouldn't ask any hardball questions or would deflect the fight, and the independent networks like Newsnation don't have the same reach. The other two major networks have nothing like a stand alone serious interview show in prime time.

So, she has different ideas about what he should be doing as President. So what?

She pretty much totally staked her political career on proximity to Trump and MAGA. Helped him get elected. Then Trump had declared her to be "cast out". She claims she started getting overt threats, and he scoffed at it.

Trump stabbed her not in the back but in the face in full public view. He's pretty much slandering her constantly, so IMO she wanted to get her side out.

IOW, MTGs' move with 60 Minutes was totally proportional. It's pure personality shit, sure. But she did not throw the first personal punch.

My overall point was that Trump initiated a pointless distracting fight that does nothing but divide the base, and for what with so many much bigger problems going on. That was my point.

I agree with her that Trump hasn't concentrated enough on domestic issues, but she doesn't consider the cards he was dealt.

You have no idea what she considers or not (I don't either.) I kinda tend to think that she knows the environment too.

Biden left a world at war and Trump had to deal with it. He works tirelessly to handle our out of control world.

That is dangerously close to Trump fart sniffing, sorry. He's just doing what comes to mind. Working tirelessly? Hard to tell. (I agree about Biden, not on the presumption of Trump's focus.)

Example: I have absolutely no idea why the US intervening in the trade routes of foreign nations that don't even affect us that as anything to do with capturing an oil tanker. We committed piracy with that capture. And we're about to enter Venezuela.

Trump is more of a war president than we've had since Bush while campaigning as "America First" and a peace maker. Venezuela regime change doesn't help me or any other American one bit (unless you own defense stock.)

I don't like his insults at all and think he should clean up his act. More later . . .

We both agree on that point. It's not 2017, memes and insults are no longer cute. We've graduated to shanks and bullets as a society.
