Trump was manipulated into attacking Adelson by another donor, Ike Perlmutter, who “had hoped in vain that Mrs. Adelson would contribute to a rival super PAC that he backs.”
It’s like narcissistic parents trying to undermine each other by manipulating their child.
And because Trump only has the attention span to believe the last person he talked to, he took Perlmutter at his word and went off on someone else.
That’s why all of them are fucked after Trump dies. They all hate each other, they’re constantly backstabbing each other. They have nothing after he’s gone. No one to rally around.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
I hope you’re right. But I fear there will instead be some power vacuum, which will be filled with someone much smarter and maybe even more evil than Trump. Such a person will have been watching this shit show and paying attention to how easy it is to manipulate these idiots.
I think it depends on if he somehow becomes president or not.
If he doesnt, maga will die with him. If he does, all the rules will have been changed and all he needs to do is appoint next in line. Even if people don’t agree with the person he appoints, or the party tries to put someone else in their place, it will be too late.
This is where you’re* wrong. There will always be greed for money and lust for control. Soon as orange shit stain absconds from earth, there will be another to fill the void. *Edit spelling
I think you underestimate what happens after a personality cult loses its object of veneration.
Tell that to the Christians. 😉
I tried not to bring religion or Hitler into this discussion 😂.
Yes Elvis died, rock and roll remains. Evil greed will don a new face unfortunately.
Rock and roll existed independently of Elvis. The Cult of Trump doesn’t exist without Trump. When he dies, they’ll all scramble for that power. They’re already fighting each other for a scrap of attention from daddy trump
And the cult of trump existed before under various names Tea Party, the alt right, etc. but if that’s the fairy tale you wanna believe. Whatever keeps you warm at night pal.
Trump was able to gather the hordes of weirdos in a way none of those other movements could. For whatever reason, he was an exceptionally powerful populist, and the other craven greed monsters want that power bad. It’s been shown that that magic doesn’t run off on them though and it seems to be flaking off trump very quickly these days.
There will always be another eventually, but it can’t be denied that Trump’s star is falling, and the Republicans have no one able to gather the hordes like trump could at the moment. If they lose their ass in November, it’s very possible that it takes them quite a while to regroup in any real way. Their penchant for infighting will slow things down.
Yeah, if there’s one kind of class solidarity you can count on, it’s the 1% making sure they pay less taxes and accrue more wealth.
They may hate everything else about each other, but they will never back away from that.
Well, that is until those 1,000 people hold all the money in the world. Then they’ll finally turn on each other and fall to infighting.
Then the money will finally trickle down
There will definitely be someone trying to take his place.
But I’m old enough to remember the last 7 republican presidents and presidential nominees. None of them were like Trump.
They weren’t convicted felons, or impeached twice, or telling bold provably false lies daily. They didn’t double down on their lies when called out on it.
Some of them couldn’t find a coherent sentence without two hands and a flashlight but went on to be elected for two terms, while still managing not to recommend injecting bleach as a treatment for any medical condition.
Trump has something no Republican candidate in my lifetime (and probably ever) has, blind loyalty in the face of utterly ridiculous behaviour.
Just because they have been progressively worse. Fool me once and I won’t get fooled again. Have a read thru memory lane https://www.ranker.com/list/bush-isms-funny-george-bush-quotes/notable-quotables
They even called them Bushisms for crying out loud. Plus you got to remember they didn’t run their mouths on the Internet 24/7.
Ike Perlmutter, the fuck who messed up Marvel TV. Not surprised that shit stain goaded Trump.
Poor guy, he can’t make all of his mega-donors happy. It’s a damn shame when you don’t really have a platform or any solid principles. You just end up pandering to whoever will pony up. Dance Donny, dance.

It does not matter what you have done for him. You will never be on his side. He stands alone and will never take the needs of anyone else. Not his friends (as if he had any) not his backers or family or anyone other than himself
Boo hoo bitch
Trump accusing billionaire supporter Miriam Adelson, the widow of the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, of allowing the PAC she has funded with millions of dollars, Preserve America, to be run by “Republicans in Name Only,” also known as RINOs.
This sounds like another felony to add to the list. PACs are not allowed to coordinate with candidates or their campaigns, which is how they’re allowed to raise unlimited amounts of money. Trump directing how the PAC be run sure does sound like coordination to me.
He just can’t stop criming!
2 in 46 US-Presidents are addicted to crime. You can help now. For only a small amount, you can feel like you have done something.

If anyone doesn’t get that stuff like this is always said with a nod and a wink… they don’t understand how truly broken our campaign finance system is in reality. The Citizens United case is blinding proof that this Supreme Court has been in the bag for conservatives and reactionaries for decades. Project 2025 is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the wealthy, empowered by Reagan era Neoliberalism, attempting a fascist takeover of the United States. It’s the Business Plot (or “Wall Street Putsch”) of 1933, but in super slow motion.
Well… there goes his Israel funding.
If Trump and his Facist cronies gain power, they will eventually turn on the people who brought them into power.
Adelson: I never imagined the Leopards would eat my face…
“I never thought the leopards would eat my face!”
I love seeing Trumpanzees turning on each other. They are some of the worst people on the planet. When they cause each other harm everyone else wins.
When they cause each other harm everyone else wins
For some reason, this really hit me. I generally don’t root for actual harm to befall someone. I just don’t think you can do that and call yourself a good person. That said, I do genuinely enjoy the schadenfreude in stories like this.
I’m the opposite. I don’t think you can be a good person and not root for actual harm to befall Donald, or McConnell, or Clarence, or Elon, or etc. They’re all sociopaths who are willing to burn the planet for money in a way that is beyond the reach of justice.
Trumpanzees! That’s fucking awesome.
He’s losing it!
Stories like this are proof that we need to get over our child-like worship of billionaires. Money is no proof of intelligence.
“The texts were particularly jarring because Mrs. Adelson and Mr. Trump had a friendly meeting just a week earlier at the Republican National Convention, according to a person briefed on the matter,” the report notes before adding that Trump was manipulated into attacking Adelson by another donor, Ike Perlmutter, who “had hoped in vain that Mrs. Adelson would contribute to a rival super PAC that he backs.”
Everyone involved seems awful
You’ve met MAGA people, yes?
I live in a very liberal area, but am surrounded on all sides by Texas, so yes, I have.
Dallas, Austin, or Houston?
Try to remember that these people, while they may seem awful, are also awful
And weird.
Why should they even care which PAC gets the money, if the goals are the same. Seems likely they’re profiting from their PAC, what a surprise. Citizens United and our extremist supreme court is such a fucking disaster.
The NYT shows the texts included a nice bit of misogyny. I’d say what a piece of shit Trump is, but he even let an aide write those texts haha
“RINOs” — Republicans in name only — and that Mrs. Adelson’s late husband would never have tolerated that, the people said.
