While some pride and self-respect are certainly good and necessary, too much of it can have drastic consequences. Enter - you guessed it - former President Donald J. Trump, bafoon-carnival barker, a man whose notorious pride and ego have tragically morphed far beyond a simple character flaw most of us have to some degree to a seeming black hole that threatens to engulf every amazing accomplishment he has won for conservatism and the country. He is responsible for the death of a party and producing more RINOâs than any dem alive !
As expected, Trumpâs self-directed pride has caused him to enter a third presidential race, one in which he, unfortunately, has zero shot at winning, NONE ,NADA . But that would be the worst of it if there were any signs he intended to at least try to be a good candidate and learn from his mistakes. But HELL no.
While most of the country has moved on and is just trying to figure out how to survive, the former president still insists on reliving 2020âs debacle and 2016âs improbable victory ad nauseam in every speech. Heâs also been bizarrely and baselessly attacking the GOPâs most popular non-Trump politician, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a strategy that has backfired with a significant percentage of former Trump voters who appreciate DeSantisâ leadership in Florida, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. What a dumbass !!!
If you still donât understand just how stubborn and ridiculous Trump is being on this issue, consider this: In an interview, last week with David Brody of the conservative podcast The Water Cooler, the former president - the same man who criticized Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for opening up his state âtoo soonâ in 2020 - praised GOP governors for resisting lockdowns and slammed DeSantis for shutting down Florida âfor a period of time.â And Trump gave us Fauci and push big Pharmaâs poison !!!Truly, does he think we have no memory at all?
If Trumpâs tone-deafness were just limited to attacks on a political rival, it might be excused to some degree. However, it has unfortunately extended to another point of pride, Operation Warp Speed, a Trump-initiated endeavor that began early on in the pandemic and ended up with Big Pharma delivering several under-tested Covid-19 âvaccinesâ to market. These âvaccines,â as we all now know, turned out to not only fail to do the primary thing vaccines are supposed to do, which is stop the spread of a disease, but they also arguably hurt and even killed far more people than they ever saved.
