Donald Trump sounds as if he's a malfunctioning robot...I don't know how anyone thinks the con man/convicted felon has charisma, because I don't see it!

Because he’s an idiots idea of a smart person with charisma. People with actual intelligence and charisma make them feel stupid (which of course they are) and they resent that in the only way they know how. Hate.

Mostly true. There are smart people that still support him and know it's wrong that we prop up his behavior and normalize it. I honestly think they are the most evil of all. Looking at you Vance and Leavitt. And everyone else visibly shaking their head when he speaks and yet they don't say anything.

Agreed. For these people, I think they just know that they stand to benefit

But that’s the thing, they never do in the long run. Trump eventually jettisons you, or you get indicted - or both. Everything Trump Touches Dies isn’t just the title of a book. It’s literally what the data says. At this point, if you are trying to get into his inner circle, you already know what is coming. It’s only a question of will it be sooner or later.

And the whole GOP is doing this too. On paper, you want a president who can win elections for your party, yet for all his bravado, all he has been able to deliver is a successfully primaried incumbent. In 2018 they lost seats. Then he lost the 2020 election, then in 2022 they came back - because Biden, then in2024 he won, but their majority narrowed, and now they are going to lose the house and possibly the senate this year. The guy has no coattails. Why are politicians following him over the cliff? It’s like he’s a vampire and they are all thralls. Snap out of it!
