On Tuesday morning Trump provided another example of his tyrannical tendencies. In a comment posted to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump issued a decree to the world that he imagines is attentive to his crackpot ravings. He demanded that…

“Business Executives and Shareholder Representatives should be 100% behind Donald Trump! Anybody that’s not should be FIRED for incompetence!”

    If it were that easy then DeSantis would have been ascendant and he’s not. Ditto Mike Huckabee.

    It takes a special kind of charisma to whip up a frenzy like this and Trump definitely has it.

      I agree; his movement doesn’t have the ability to sustain itself without him. At the rate he’s clearly publicly deteriorating, we just need him to lose 2024 and I think we’ll be safe from the red hat cultists for a good while.

      Also, many of the dimwits that fell for him (and now cannot quit him) think he’s a very rich, smart, and successful businessman, and all because of a bullshit game show he was given. He’s spent literally decades on self-promotion, slapping his stupid name on buildings he had nothing to do with building, failing at casinos, etc…so even before that stupid game show, he was fairly well known.

      There are not too many people that fit the bill if he gets the hamberder from heaven.
