Trump inserts himself into another news headline again!

Now he is upset that the overturned ruling of Roe v. Wade by SCOTUS, it will hurt his chances of another run at the White House! Well Donald, I think every GOBer will be worried about this election and others to come?

Let’s make sure this happens! Start by voting these people out of office!

I don't think your party overturning Roe is the biggest impediment to your re-election bid.

His power-hungry political aspirations wouldn't be an issue.

(This is not to say that I agree w/ his ideology on the issue. But it's no surprise that his ideology takes a back-seat to his desire to regain power.)

He's only pretending to run in order to keep the rubes sending money to him. (And, because he is attention-hungry.) The abortion issue was a big cash cow for his party. That's why the GOP had been chipping away at abortion rights, rather than outright eliminating it when they had numerous chances to do so. Trump was more than happy to exploit that cash cow, and now it's pretty much gone. I'm sure he's not the only one in his party who is secretly pissed off about this decision. They really didn't want it overturned, but their Frankenstein monster Supreme Court got out of control, and they just made things harder for the GOP. The dog just caught the car, and it's about to get rolled under the back tire. And, Trump knows it, too. His ability to grift more money just got harder. That's why he's mad.

That pretty much tells you all you need to know. He loves the power and trappings that come with the presidency, but he doesn't like everything else that comes with it, especially the microscope that gets put on you. And, just looking at him, I doubt he'll even be in any shape to run even if he wanted to, let alone hold that office again. He looks like shit, and can't put together a coherent sentence. I won't be surprised if he suffers a cardiovascular event in the not too distant future, with everything that's coming down on him.

Don't upchuck when you discover this. There will be a lot of puke on deck to slip in.

He certainly is a grifter, but he has RNC money to rely on. So, he can run on that. Plus, there is MORE money to make during a pResidency than he can get out of grifting the base. There is no one else in the rePub party that has anywhere near a chance to win. DeSantis is a maniac, and apparently is going to court disfavor from Trump, so I don't think he really has a chance. Who else is there? Abbott? They just don't have anyone else, so he will twist and turn and run on whatever will fly on the nightly news.

I keep wondering what Clarence Thomas was doing when he announced that he wanted to undo the decisions of Gay rights. Something going on there, with open manipulation and communication to someone, somewhere. An indication that the agenda is not complete, so don't worry about this decision being adopted? I dunno.

We are in this together, People. It just keeps getting worse and worse. Remember when someone said that the truth would astonish us all? Or, something like that? There's more to come.

Can't the J6 Committee's work constitute the Trump investigation? Why is that not considered? Unless, there is some motivation that is hidden for now.

He has at least a billion dollars in debt hanging over him, and much of that is about to come due. He is under multiple criminal and civil investigations, some of which look really, really bad for him. A whole bunch of his toadies are turning on him, as is his favorite child. In order to hustle more money out of what's left of the suckers who still worship him, he's having to hold his stupid rallies out in cheap-o fairgrounds out in the middle of nowhere. No nice, air-conditioned arenas for you Fat Bastard. And, judging by the number of his endorsed candidates who lost, or who are now distancing themselves from him (e.g., Mehmet Oz), he is losing his influence. Being the narcissist he is, that's got to be killing him. He's also a physical wreck. I have no doubt he's suffering multiple maladies that are part of the reason he looks as miserable as he does. He probably feels like shit, to which I say, "Not shitty enough." I'd love to see him in prison, too. But, for now, "broke, miserable, and always having to watch his back" is acceptable. I'm enjoying watching him squirming, for now.

We have to stop worrying about this stupid self-centered asshole. We enable him when we give him our attention. Our real job is to get busy and UNDO all the damage of his 4 years of total havoc. Then we have to make sure it never happens again.

Let's get busy and elect some Democrats!

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.

Removing abortion rights has been a huge cash cow for the right. Now that it’s done, why exactly would these Bible bangers keep giving, keep voting, keep organizing? TFG is right to be worried, and so are the other hogs at the trough.
