Trump Privately 'Sh**ting' On Roe Reversal, Fearing GOP, Midterm Backlash: Report

Let TDFG shit his Depends over what he purposely did to the US Supreme Court. This makes HIM look bad and hurts his chances in 2024 is what he is really thinking.

Source:Huff Post

“This is a losing issue for Republicans," moaned one GOP strategist.

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly angry and agitated about the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, which he fears will hurt Republican outcomes in the November midterm elections, according to sources.

Though Trump has publicly gushed about the decision and taken credit for it because of the Supreme Court justices he picked, “he keeps shitting all over his greatest accomplishment,” a source who claims to have spoken with Trump about it told Rolling Stone magazine.

“When you speak to him, it’s the response of someone fearing the backlash and fearing the politics of what happens when conservatives actually get what they want” on abortion, the source added. “I do not think he’s enjoying the moment as much as many of his supporters are.”

The New York Times reported Friday that Trump has been complaining since after the draft decision was released last month that the reversal is “bad for Republicans.”

Trump realizes that with "mission accomplished," the GOP got what it wanted with a super-majority USSC and no longer needs him. They got their tax cut and states in disarray with a hodgepodge of abortion laws. Go play golf Donald.

The GOP establishment doesn't need him but he has a lot of people who will do whatever he says. Hopefully enough to split the vote if the GOP tries to go with someone else in 2024.

And something about dogs catching the car.

I hope they live with deep regret.

It won’t be for inflicting this atrocity on the American people. Any regret they have will be for the loss of power, which is all they care about.

“We were kind of useful idiots or rubes at that point,” said Robert Sinners, a former Trump campaign staffer, adding he now feels he was misled about the effort. “I’m angry because I think, in a sense, no one really cared if people were potentially putting themselves in jeopardy.”

But his baseline survival instincts are occasionally correct. We need to do everything possible to prove him correct on this one.

(who not only anchored all 3 local broadcast stations here but briefly worked in NYC as a local anchor before returning here and also counts as his most notable coverage in his career - following the Beatles during their original U.S. tour in the '60s) has a regular "commentary" on politics.

I heard the latest last night where he mentioned an interesting tidbit (where he is, as many of the old '70s/'80s broadcast anchors like Diane Allen were, probably a closet Republican) - he has a number of sources in the local and state PA GOP infrastructure and noted that one of them was talking about fundraising for Josh Shapiro, who is the (D) running against the loon Christo-fascist J6 insurrectionist Doug Mastriano (R) for Governor. This was in response to Roe v. Wade.

The "establishment" GOP tried their darnedest and failed to knock both Mastriano (running for Governor) and Oz (running for Senator) off the ticket.

I have posted before that Shapiro has had an unusual (but thankful) level of quiet but strong popularity here in PA where during both his 2016 and 2020 Attorney General races, he actually received more votes than any of the Presidential and Senatorial candidates on the ballot - whether (D) or (R).

He was actually born in KC, MO, but grew up here.

https://joshshapiro.org/joshs-record/

His dad had gone to med school in KC and did a residency at the Naval Medical Center there, so his dad was juggling that and his family.

He picked three of these radical shits, one of whom was shoved into place virtually hours after the death of RBG, and now he's upset it? What a piece of work.

My conservative (but not Trumper) brother also thinks this is a bad strategic move for the GOP.

By the way, here's a bit of trivia: a clock that loses a minute a day is less accurate than a stopped clock, because it is right only once a day...

Then again, the slow clock is more useful, at least at first.

wiggle out of a confrontation with "I never said that."

What will ring long and loud, however, are the words of his first-born:

Donald Trump Jr sang his father’s praises and cited him as being personally responsible for Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the landmarkRoe v Wade ruling that recognised a woman’s constitutional right to abortion.
