Donald J. Trump 2024

[Luke]

Obots may need to step in to prop the dotard up... the DeSantis fans are tearing him apart.

Turncoat Bill Mitchell, who beclowned himself in 2016 with his shameless toe-sucking, is now totally anti-Dotard. Talk about a fair-weather friend! His Twitter feed is now hilarious, he's gone back on everything he's said for 7 years: https://twitter.com/mitchellvii/with_replies

His Twitter feed is now comedy gold and he's lapping up the MAGAt hate and intentionally riling the marks up.

He's got a poll up (19 hours left):

Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii 4h
How are you standing now for 2024?
Ride or die Trump. 37.3%
On the fence. 19.2%
Team DeSantis. 43.5%

He's acting like this is news:

Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii 9m
Trump only posts the polls where he is leading big and ignores the ones where he is losing big.
The sad thing is this makes him believe his childish approach is working.

And this sort of craziness:

Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii 6m
Well as long as Trump insists on sticking with Ron DeSanctimonious, we're going to have to go with #DeathJabDon.

January 6 was a mistake because it was never going to change anything and just let the Democrats set us up.
It concerns me that strategic genius and 4D chess master Trump didn't see that coming.

I'm not trying to create party infighting. Everyone should definitely vote for DeSntis and get along.

Why the ‘poorly educated’ might not save Trump in 2024

Analysis by Aaron Blake Staff writer
Updated February 24, 2023 at 12:57 p.m. EST|Published February 24, 2023 at 12:47 p.m. EST

It’s been almost exactly seven years since Donald Trump celebrated his huge victory in the Nevada caucuses by extolling the virtues of the “poorly educated.” “We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated,” Trump said Feb. 23, 2016.

And voters with less formal education loved him back, delivering Trump some of his biggest margins among any demographic group as he was securing the GOP nomination — even as college-educated voters were somewhat less sold on him.

The education gap is looking even bigger ahead of the 2024 primaries. Indeed, it might be the story of a prospective matchup between Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

A series of recent polls suggest there might be no bigger difference between support for Trump and support for DeSantis than education (and, relatedly, income). College-educated voters are significantly more favorable to DeSantis personally, and they favor him by wide margins in head-to-head matchups.

Watch: Trump vows to use the federal government to discipline your children

David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement
February 21, 2023

Donald Trump is promising to use the federal government to discipline children if he becomes president again. The one-term Republican ex-president who, according to one watchdog group has been "credibly accused of committing at least 56 criminal offenses" vowed to end crime, with a focus on America's "wild" youth.

"We will end the leftist takeover of school discipline and juvenile justice," Trump says in a five-minute pre-recorded campaign video released Monday (below).

"Many of these carjackers and criminals are 13, 14, and 15 years-old. I will order the Education and Justice Departments to overhaul federal standards on disciplining minors," he added. "So when troubled youth are out of control, they're out on the streets and they're going wild, we will stop it. The consequences are swift, certain and strong and they will know that."

Trump's rambling remarks were part of an apparent seven-point plan that is focused on using police force and violence against American citizens, and going as far as calling up "federal assets" to flood America's streets.

Hey there, Donnie! I remember the days when schools dished out corporal punishment to boys who acted out and acted up. My very own school district used corporal punishment until there was so much push back from the parents with lots of $$$$$ that it was stopped. Some of my schoolmates had rather red bottoms from a few well-placed swats with an oversized paddle.

Although, I must suggest that if your plan were in effect 75 years ago, that maybe you and your issue would not have turned out to be such giant turds.

Trump announces if elected that he will start a global trade war by implementing a mercantilist system. He will raise tariffs on “most foreign products,” phase out all imports from China in 4 years, and punish US companies who do business and invest in China.

I went to a Lutheran school where my 6th grade teacher had a big paddle, though he used his on both boys and girls. I never got the paddle, but I did get bonked *on the head* with a cast he had on (he'd broken both wrists.) I had a headache that lasted about 3 days after that, but my parents didn't seem at all concerned about it.

[noblepa]

My mother was an elementary school teacher back in the fifties and sixties. She used to walk the aisles of her class and if someone was not paying attention or was otherwise screwing up, she would rap them on the top of the head with the eraser end of a #2 pencil. It didn't do any damage, but it stung like the dickens and it got the kids' attention.

Oh, and the school principal had a big wooden paddle.

I went to that school and I got the paddle once or twice. Usually, though, when I acted up, my teacher didn't send me to the principal, they sent me to my mother, which was worse. My sister was actually in my mother's class for the sixth grade. I suspect they wouldn't do that today.

When I went to Catholic school, the nuns had wooden rulers.
And they were not afraid to apply them to our knuckles.

On the very few occasions where I experienced this, I remember complaining to my mother about it.. she would say "you probably deserved it"

‘I am your retribution’: Trump rules supreme at CPAC as he relaunches bid for White House
Former president claims Biden is leading America into ‘oblivion’ and that he could end the war between Russia and Ukraine

David Smith in Oxon Hill, Maryland
Sun 5 Mar 2023 01.52 GMT

Donald Trump turned back the clock to the darkest elements of his presidency on Saturday with a fiery address that showed the threat to American democracy is far from over.

After a lacklustre start to his campaign, Trump appeared to launch his White House bid in earnest with a vintage display of demagoguery that framed the 2024 election as “the final battle” for America.

The former president, wearing dark suit, white shirt and trademark red tie, also declared war on his own Republican party to the delight of ardent fans in the crowd chanting “Trump! Trump! Trump!” and “USA! USA! USA!”

Opinion polls suggest that Trump’s grip on the party is slipping in the wake of the 6 January 2021, insurrection and a disappointing midterm performance. But he continues to rule supreme at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), billed as the biggest annual gathering of grassroots conservatives.

Feeding off the energy of a crowd that wore “Make America great again” (Maga) caps, and watched by Brazil’s far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro, Trump returned to the authoritarian language that characterised his political rise seven years ago.

“In 2016, I declared: I am your voice,” he said, speaking for just over 100 minutes from a bright blue and red stage in a cavernous ballroom at the closing speech of the CPAC event in Maryland. “Today, I add: I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed: I am your retribution,” he said.

Big talk from a pussy ass bitch. (Chrissy Teigen nailed it.)

That too, but the former governor of New Jersey was referring to the fact that CPAC is now a wholy-owned subsidiary of The Trump Organization (the one that doesn't exist).

You can tell it's a cult when the crowd didn't even notice how low energy he was. What I saw of it, and I admit I didn't see much, actually shocked me.

If he really wants to win in 2024, it seems to me that he will have to come out of his MAGA echo chamber and try to win over some independents and undecided voters.

Will he do that? I really don't know. The sycophants surrounding him may tell him he doesn't need to. I know he doesn't like any situation in which he is not the object of adoration.

Will his lackluster style of campaigning work with the non-MAGA fanatics? His rambling, sometimes almost incoherent speeches may turn off voters who might have voted for him in 2016 or even 2020.

Maybe its just me, but he seems to be even less focused on issues, other than the "stolen" 2020 election and insulting those who don't show the proper loyalty to him, than he used to be.

Ever since Trump declared he was running in the 2016 presidential election, people have said "If only he would change..., if only Trump could be more..., etc." but it seems that nobody ever learns. Trump will not change. Ever. What you see is what you get. If anything, he will become more of what he is at the core, i.e., racist, insulting, vengeful, etc.

That's precisely what I meant. In the past, he seemed to be at least a little bit aware that he needed to reach out to undecided voters. Now, he seems, more than ever, content to preach to the choir of MAGA fanatics and bask in their adoration.
