I'm gonna get some flack for this: Trump is unfit to be president of the USA. The Republicans have got to put up a different candidate.

Trump will attack anyone he thinks doesn't give him unconditional support.

His followers seem to love this stuff. The politics of resentment must have objects of fear and hatred to persist. We have seen from his recent, disastrous interview that he has no plan, no platform so he must divert attention from himself and his own empty plan to those who can be hated and despised. Honestly, this says more about his followers than him. Without them, he wouldn't be there.

Trump repeatedly attacks Republican Georgia Gov. Kemp at Atlanta rally​

The former president has criticized Kemp for declining to overturn the 2020 election results in the state, which Trump lost to Biden.

At a rally where his advisers wanted him to sharply attack presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and focus on Democratic policies, Trump repeatedly veered off script to attack Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in personal and increasingly aggressive terms — and seemed fixated on the past.

Trump mocked him sarcastically and called him “Little Brian”; repeatedly called him “disloyal”; blamed Kemp for Trump being charged in Georgia by a prosecutor whom Kemp has criticized; suggested Kemp wanted Republicans to lose elections; and argued Georgia would have better crime and economic numbers if Kemp were no longer governor.

[The hostile remarks] were also delivered in a swing state where Kemp has won office twice by large margins, including a second gubernatorial term in 2022 with Trump opposing him and rallying against him. Trump lost the state by about 12,000 votes in 2020.

Some Georgia political strategists have said Kemp has a far better ground game in the state than Trump does, and Trump could use Kemp’s help.
Bobby Saparow, the campaign manager for Kemp’s 2022 race, said the attacks were “ill-willed and ill-timed.”

One person familiar with Georgia politics said Republican elected officials were frustrated because they believe the remarks will hurt Trump and could cost him the state. “Republicans were lined up to give positive comments tonight, and now some of them are scared to,” the person said.

Trump also explained how he decided whether to support or revile someone.

“I have a bad trait,” Trump said. “I only like people who like me.”

Several people close to the former president described the comments as unhelpful but said Trump was never going to forget or forgive when it came to Kemp.

[Trump-brand Christianity in a nutshell!]

OK

and let's ignore the 24 years of election denial by the Democratic Party involving both the 2000 election and the 2016, in which dozens of Democratic politicians, officials, and activists claimed these elections were fraudulent, rigged, stolen, and invalid

should Trump be going on with this election integrity stuff? probably not

should Democrats stop claiming elections have been stolen for 24 years --most certainly

Trump Blames Georgia State For Empty Seats At Rally: ‘Imagine What They’re Going to Do On Election Day’​

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at the administration of a Georgia university Saturday and said they were preventing hundreds from entering the Atlanta arena that Vice President Kamala Harris filled [every last seat] just days earlier.

Trump suggested it was a part of a left wing conspiracy against him and connected it to the November election at the Saturday Trump rally.

[Paging Sean Spicer. Your crowd counting skills are needed.]

What this party needs is PURGES!

He's already setting up another excuse for an election loss just like in 2020. Which says to me that he's running scared and not confident that he can beat Harris.

Fortunately, with him away from the levers of power, we won't have a rerun of the executive in chief watching the tube as the Capitol gets overrun.

Which reminded me of this from here: Trump says he has 'no choice' but to support electric vehicles because Elon Musk 'endorsed me very strongly'

'Former President Donald Trump said he had "no choice" but to support electric vehicles after Tesla CEO Elon Musk "endorsed" him.'

Looks like you can literally buy his support for a few million a month.
'Do you support this policy?'
'Well, I don't know yet. How much is it worth to me?'
