'Coward': MAGA internet turns on Trump

I admit, it's old news, but I still like it


‘Coward’: MAGA internet turns on Trump

After years of fidelity, Donald Trump's most ardent online fans have finally turned on him.

All it took was for the president to acknowledge the reality of his loss a little over a day after they, the MAGA faithful, stormed the Capitol in a violent attempt to stop the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s win.

“People were willing to die for this man and he just threw them all under the bus. That’s the only thing that’s shameful about the events of the past 36 hours,” Nick Fuentes, the host of the America First podcast and the unofficial leader of the white nationalist Groyper Army, angrily tweeted, shortly after Trump released a video Thursday night in which he conceded that Biden would be the next president and called for political reconciliation.

Cassandra Fairbanks, a prominent MAGA activist, tweeted: “[He] tells angry people to march to the capitol [and then] proceeds to throw his supporters under the bus.”

They should have seen this coming from trump. He has a long history of using people like this, conning them into doing things illegally for him, them claiming he had nothing to do with it, or them, and then saying the opposite of what he claimed he would do. He knows his election claims are lies, but uses them to incite others to do his dirty work for him, and to grift money from these easy marks he's developed .

else. I can't think of any relationship where he hasn't exploited the other person, usually to the point of the other person's ruin, and then discarded them. And I come from a NYC construction family and I've been watching him for 35 years.

where loyalty is a one-way street. He threw his fawning, sycophantic Vice President under the bus, do you honestly believe he cares one iota for the great unwashed dullards that grovel at his feet? You're nothing but a revenue stream for him and his criminal family. He'd never walk among you, shaking your unwashed, disease carrying hands. He despises people like you. You wouldn't have the money it takes to buy access to his imperial assholiness. You've been duped by King Kon, like so many before you, and welcome to the undercarriage of the Trump bus.

Hmmm Yeah, NO, I don't sorry for them AT ALL. Not even a little bit 'cuz they knew wtf he was. They just believed, (Mistakenly, of course), that SOMEHOW he'd change his ways for them. LOL When I was a lil' girl, my mom taught me something very important & it went something like this: "ANYONE who'll leave someone for you WILL leave you for somebody else!"
He's thrown 3 wives under several busses, fucked over his children, cheated people who've provided him with svcs & goods, friends & family members & Y'ALL thought he wouldn't do it to you? WOW HI-LARRY-US!
