Trump insider says ‘some accurate stuff’ in profile of moribund 2024 campaign

Ex-president calls magazine reporter who likened him to Norma Desmond of Sunset Boulevard a ‘shaky and unattractive wack job’

Rejecting a New York Magazine story which said his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 was all but moribund a little more than a month after he announced it, Donald Trump subjected the writer to misogynistic abuse.

Olivia Nuzzi, Trump said, was “a shaky and unattractive wack job”.

The former president also called Nuzzi’s story “fake news”, insisted “her ‘anonymous sources’ don’t exist (true with many writers)” and said: “I’m happily fighting hard for our GREAT USA!”

The Guardian, however, has seen messages in which a veteran Trump campaign insider says there is “some accurate stuff in” Nuzzi’s piece and, when told “time catches up with all of us”, answers: “True”.

I think eventually the legal cases will cause Trump to pull out of the race, but the Dems are tasked with using that to sink the whole Republican Party.

.... a threat to his fragile male ego. If she was wrong on something all TFG needed to do was call her
up and say he would like to do an interview but he can't because what she wrote was no doubt true
and she would pick him apart with her questions and facts.

BTW I don't think TFG read the full article because of his intellectual problems.

is trying to be "through" with History, doesn't mean that History is anywhere near "through" with him................

It is rumored that Satan is building an entire new, lowest level of hell for Trump, the countless and despicable assholes he has surrounded himself with, and the Entire bunch of Republican Senators and House members....He is even making special guest suite on that level for Ivanka and Jared.....And a tiny container, nearest the base of the flames, for Mitch McConnell and two particular Democrat U.S. Senators...........

Have I missed anyone?????????
