Probably doing too much coke again.

Especially since if DeSantis actually did have the personality of a morticians he would not be trailing Trump by 36 point6s.

Donald Trump Jr. Accidentally Insults His Dad In Botched Attempt To Dis DeSantis

Donald Trump Jr. tried to attack Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who this week announced he is running for the Republican presidential nomination in a glitch-filled rollout on Twitter.

But he inadvertently insulted his father, Donald Trump, instead.

The former president’s son called DeSantis “nasally” and “effeminate” during his podcast.

And at one point, he got the names mixed ― leading to this awkward moment:

(Let the record show that morticians can be perfectly charming and engaging.)

DeSantis was once a close ally of the former president and billed himself as a protégé in campaign ads in which he fawned over Trump.

But Trump last year began attacking DeSantis amid reports the governor might challenge him for the 2024 nomination. He took credit for DeSantis’ political career ― even claiming that DeSantis cried as he begged for an endorsement in the governor’s race ― and yesterday shared a bizarre video with Hitler and Satan participating in DeSantis’ campaign launch on Twitter.

Polls show the Florida governor well behind the former president among GOP primary voters.

  Donald Trump
  President of the United States from 2017 to 2021

Former President Trump is returning to his calls to remove birthright citizenship, with his 2024 White House campaign announcing Tuesday he would seek to end it via executive order on his first day in office.

Trump announced his plan on the 125th anniversary of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, the Supreme Court case that established the constitutional right to birthright citizenship.

The proposal echoes a longtime demand of immigration restrictionists and a measure Trump toyed with while in office, attracting criticism from both immigration advocates and legal experts.

Most experts agree that a president does not have authority to end birthright citizenship through an executive order, primarily because the practice is enshrined in the Constitution.

The 14th Amendment grants citizenship to those “born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

The widely accepted interpretation of that amendment — that it applies to children born in the United States regardless of the parents’ immigration status — has held since an 1898 Supreme Court case involving a U.S. citizen with Chinese parents.

The 14th amendment was adopted after the Civil War to guarantee equal rights for former slaves – immigration restrictionists argue that excludes the children of other groups like undocumented immigrants from its benefits.

“As members of the Reconstruction Congress explained in 1866, the narrow exception to birthright citizenship applied only to the children of diplomats and those born into Native American tribes, who were under the ‘jurisdiction’ of a separate sovereign and did not need to comply with all U.S. laws,” wrote Amanda Frost, a professor of law at the University of Virginia and author of “You Are Not American: Citizenship Stripping from Dred Scott to the Dreamers.”

“In contrast, immigrants and their children living in the United States were and are required to follow all federal and state laws or face criminal and civil penalties and so are fully ‘subject’ to the nation’s ‘jurisdiction.'”

According to the Trump campaign, the executive order “will explain the clear meaning of the 14th Amendment,” which it says is that the children of foreign nationals born in the United States are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States as defined in the Constitution.

During Trump’s term in office, a draft executive order to that effect was circulated, and the idea was revived shortly after Trump’s loss to President Biden in the 2020 election.

But Trump had floated ending birthright citizenship earlier in his presidency.

Trump in 2018 said in an Axios interview that he planned to issue an executive order ending birthright citizenship, setting off a political firestorm.

“It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” Trump said at the time.

While an executive order altering the interpretation of the 14th amendment would likely face legal challenges, its proponents sought to take the case to the courts, in hopes of getting a favorable Supreme Court outcome.

Supporters of the measure lauded the idea, betting on a judicial revocation of birthright citizenship.

“This will set up the court fight — the order will be enjoined, case will eventually reach SCOTUS, which then will finally have to rule on the meaning of ‘subject to the jurisdiction,'” wrote Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a restrictionist group that calls for massive reductions in immigration.

Yet Trump did not trigger that court fight on the way out of the White House.

Like in 2016, Trump has sought to make immigration and border security a top campaign issue.

In its release Tuesday, the Trump campaign dove into the fight over the meaning of “jurisdiction,” and falsely claimed that the United States has “become one of the few countries in the world to extend citizenship to the children of illegal aliens even if both parents are not citizens nor even legally present in the United States.”

A broad majority of countries in the Americas have full birthright citizenship – Colombia and the Dominican Republic have some restrictions – and much of Western Europe employs a limited version of birthright citizenship.

Experts say that eliminating birthright citizenship in countries with high immigration carries inherent risks.

Germany, for instance, liberalized its citizenship rules after decades of imposing a strict system that negatively impacted many children of immigrants.

“The situation led to a few generations of resentful, displaced youths with only partial allegiance to the nation of their birth,” wrote Alex Nowrasteh, vice president for economic and social policy studies at the Cato Institute shortly after Trump’s 2018 Axios interview.

“Noncitizens born in Germany formed ‘parallel societies.’ They were more prone to crime and political ideologies like radical Islamism or Kurdish nationalism,” wrote Nowrasteh.

None of this much matters with Bidens open borders policy.

5 MILLION ILLEGAL migrants since Biden. And far too many of them are not identified, their where abouts unknown, and eventually someone will just grant blanket amnesty.

 

'We want dictator Trump': America First activist publicly calls for 'Trumpian Reich'

David Edwards
May 31, 2023, 2:48 PM ET



Twitter/screen grab


Tyler Russell, a Canadian nationalist leader of the America First movement, has called for Donald Trump to be installed as "dictator" in a "Trumpian Reich."

In a clip obtained by Right Wing Watch, Russell told the audience of his daily broadcast about his vision for a Trump government.

"All of these DeSantis, you know, libertarian populist people that are like, we need to actually have political substance," he complained. "No, I don't give a f--k about that, okay? I don't care about your political substance."

"I want a Trump Reich," he continued. "And I want Trump's face to be, you know, projected onto every single tallest skyscraper in every city around America, okay?"

Russell insisted that his followers did not want "freedom."

"We want a total Trumpian Reich, okay?" he said. "That's what we want. We want a total Trumpian Reich. We want dictator Trump."

"We want Trump to rule forever and ever and make America great again," Russell added. "And we want all these people who are acting in bad faith, who are traitors to this nation, to go to jail. That's what we want."

Trump supporters trash 'Judas' Mike Pence as he announces presidential run

Former Vice President Mike Pence has announced his run for the presidency in the 2024 election -- but many Trump supporters are still bitter about his refusal to go along with former President Donald Trump's unconstitutional scheme to remain in power by throwing out certified election results.

Pence took to Twitter to post his 2024 campaign announcement video and was instantly bombarded with angry replies from the MAGA faithful who accused him of being a "coward" for not doing everything he could to illegally keep Trump in power.

"There’s no way in hell you’ll win anything," wrote one Twitter user whose feed is jam-packed with QAnon memes.

"TRAITOR!!!!" screeched another Trump supporter. "You pence are a p.o.s."

"Pence = Judas," wrote another.

Yet another Trump supporter said that Pence didn't deserve to win because he "decided to undermine [his] boss and protect the deep state for 4 years."

Pence has drawn the ire of Trump fans ever since he certified the results of the 2020 election in his constitutional role as president of the United States Senate on January 6th, 2021.

Furious Trump supporters then infamously stormed the United States Capitol after learning of Pence's decision and called for his hanging.

Shooter knows better.
Don't do it.
It won't accomplish anything.
You'll just trigger him.
Fuck it.

OI! @stumbler !

Where in the spew you posted did it say anything about " treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans display their Bilabial (sic) ignorance. Jesus didn't try t0 have Judas hung. He hung himself."

In fact, where did you get the idea that Trump (really? you think he's Jesus now?) wanted to hang Pence?????
Oh. Yeah. The infamous gallows on the lawn thingy. Which, according to despicable yammering, Trump personally had erected on January 6 so that if Pence (Judas) didn't comply with Trump's demands, Pence could be frog marched right out to the gallows and strung up.
That'd teach the fucker, eh?

But, um, the "bilabial" comparison doesn't work very well does it? Pence(Judas) didn't rat out Trump (Jesus) and Pence didn't get 30 pieces of silver, and Pence(Judas) didn't hang himself after Trump (Jesus) was crucified (voted out of office), right?

Come on man. You can do better than this fairy tale bullshit.
Just post the article about deplorables criticizing pence for tossing his hat in the ring.
Everyone knows Pence has a much better chance than Trump of winning the nomination, and that ain't saying much, is it?

 

So shooter, what did Trump want Pence to do on Jan 6th? "I hope Mike is going to do the right thing. I hope so. I hope so because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election.”

“… all Vice-President Pence has to do is send it back to the States to recertify, and we become president, and you are the happiest people.”

Let's hear your "Facts in evidence." as to what Trump meant by those statements.

 

Dismissed

 

On this thread about Democrats, I can't help cheering for Christie. He sounds like a prosecutor presenting his case to the jury.
Go for it, Big Guy!!

 

And Christie is going places no one else even dares even though its just obvious. He did a whole routine on Jared Kushner raking in billions from Saudi Arabia. ?Why? Because he's a financial genius? No one believes that. Its a pay off for Trump protecting MbS."

 

Pence Canceled Interview With Hannity at Last Minute: ‘They Didn’t Want to Answer Questions About the Indictment’
By Jamie FreveleJun 9th, 2023, 11:44 am

Former vice president and current presidential candidate Mike Pence (R) was scheduled to appear on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program Thursday night to discuss his campaign, but he pulled out at the last minute to avoid questions about the indictment of former President Donald Trump.

MSNBC initially reported Pence and Fox “mutually” decided to cancel the interview. But a source familiar with the matter told Mediaite that just 30 minutes before the start of Hannity, Pence’s team nixed the hit because he did not want to discuss the breaking news of Trump’s federal indictment.

“Pence’s team canceled the interview at 8:30 PM because they did not want to answer questions about the indictment,” the source said. “He was scheduled to talk about his presidential run. We said we couldn’t not ask about the indictment — it was not a mutual decision to cancel.”


By Friday morning, Pence was ready to talk. He appeared on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show where he offered a standard response to the indictment:

Well, I think it’s important to know that we don’t know the facts in this case, no one does. … My only hope is, as we learn about the facts of this indictment next week, that the American people will see that in this case it would meet a high standard necessary to justify the unprecedented federal indictment of a former president of the United States by the current president of the United States Justice Department, and by a potential rival.

This morning, Pence called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to unseal the indictment. This comes about a week after the investigation into Pence’s handling of classified documents was closed with no charges.

Trump allies thought indictment was a big political boost — until they saw the charges: analyst

Former President Donald Trump's associates were initially hopeful that his being indicted in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case would be a good thing for him, by giving him a boost to his fundraising and polling — but they were horrified when they actually got a look at the indictment and realized he was on the hook for 37 charges including Espionage Act offenses and obstruction, reported Kristen Holmes on CNN Friday.

"What are you learning about the mood in Trump World tonight, now that they know he's been indicted, now that they've had a very riveting read and a very damning read in this indictment?" asked anchor Erin Burnett.

"We spent the day talking about Trump's orbit," said Holmes, adding that "there was a shift in the mood in Trump World."

"As we reported last night, some of these Trump advisers were feeling really bullish," said Holmes. "They were talking about how good this was going to be politically. I had one person tell me that they were happy that the indictment came before the fourth quarter was over because they were looking for a fundraising boost like they saw after that Manhattan indictment. Today it seemed to shift a little bit. Even this morning Trump played golf with a representative. Allies were calling Trump World trying to shore up support for the president. Once the charges were revealed, it took a shift once people started weighing what was in the document. It went from being political to legal. The legal implications of these charges. What is this going to mean? What is a trial actually going to look like? As you noted, how is this going to affect the election?

"I had talked to a number of advisers who said, yes, this might help him win the GOP nomination," continued Holmes. "There is no doubt this will rile up the base. However, what is this going to do for a general election? It seems as though it wasn't a small handful of advisers I had spoken to, that a larger group that this perspective was starting to sink in. As we talk about the shifting view, looking at the legal aspect. As you noted, this is a day when Trump is rebuilding his entire legal team. He has two top lawyers who have resigned and he is looking at Miami-based lawyers right now. We know he is scouting that out.

"I have been talking to a couple of sources down in Florida who have heard about calls being made," Holmes added. "Something to keep an eye on. They are taking this seriously, and it really does seem as though the gravity has sunk in of the charges."

The 2024 GOP Field Faces a Choice: Law and Order or Loyalty

The federal indictment of former President Donald Trump has left the Republican Party — and his rivals for the party’s nomination — with a stark choice between deferring to a system of law and order that has been central to the party’s identity for half a century or a more radical path of resistance, to the Democratic Party in power and to the nation’s highest institutions that Trump now derides.

How the men and women who seek to lead the party into the 2024 election respond to the indictments of the former president in the coming months will have enormous implications for the future of the GOP.

So far, the declared candidates for the presidency who are not Trump have divided into three camps regarding his federal indictment Thursday: those who have strongly backed him and his insistence that the indictment is a politically driven means to deny him a second White House term, such as Vivek Ramaswamy; those who have urged Americans to take the charges seriously, such as Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson; and those who have straddled both camps, condemning the indictment but nudging voters to move past Trump’s leadership, such as Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley.

- ADVERTISEMENT -

The trick, for all of Trump’s competitors, will be finding the balance between harnessing the anger of the party’s core voters who remain devoted to him while winning their support as an alternative nominee.

Trump is due to appear in court Tuesday in Florida. The danger for Republicans, after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, is that encouraging too much anger could lead to chaos — and to what pollsters call the “ghettoization” of their party: confined to minority status by voters unwilling to let go of the fervent beliefs that have been rejected by the majority.

That point was laid bare Sunday by a new CBS News/YouGov poll that found 80% of Americans outside the core Republican voter base saw a national security risk in Trump’s handling of classified nuclear and military documents, while only 38% of likely Republican primary voters discerned such a risk.

In the same poll, only 7% of Republicans said the indictment had changed their view of the former president for the worse; 14% said their views had changed for the better; and the majority, 61%, said their views would not change. More than three-quarters of Republican primary voters said the indictments were politically motivated.

A separate ABC News/Ipsos poll showed that 61% of Americans viewed the charges as serious, up from 52% in April when pollsters asked about the mishandling of classified documents. Among Republicans, 38% said the charges were serious, also up, from 21% in this spring. But only about half of Americans said Trump should be charged, unchanged from April.

“Base voters see the double standard in politics. I continue to hear, ‘When are they going to indict the Bidens?’” said Katon Dawson, a former South Carolina Republican Party chair and senior adviser to Haley, a former South Carolina governor and Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations. But, he added, “65% of our primary voters are just tired of all the drama and I think are looking for a new generation of Republicans to take us out of the wilderness.”

Haley has embodied that balancing act, saying in one statement, “This is not how justice should be pursued in our country,” and also, “It’s time to move beyond the endless drama.”

Trump’s closest rival for the 2024 nomination, DeSantis, the governor of Florida, captured the same spirit when he mused Friday that he “would have been court-martialed in a New York minute” if he had taken classified documents during his service in the Navy. He was referring to Hillary Clinton — who has returned as a Republican boogeyman this week — and her misuse of classified material as secretary of state, but the double meaning was clear, just as it was when he said, “There needs to be one standard of justice in this country. Let’s enforce it on everybody.”

Those urging voters to read the charges facing Trump — the mishandling of highly classified documents on some of the nation’s most sensitive secrets and his subsequent steps to obstruct law enforcement — are a lonelier group in the broader Republican Party. Just two former governors running for president — both former prosecutors — Christie of New Jersey and Hutchinson of Arkansas, are aligned with a scattering of other leaders like Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, who was the only Republican senator to vote to remove Trump from office twice.

But their voices are likely to be amplified in the coming days by a media eager to give them a microphone. Christie will hold a town-hall meeting on CNN on Monday night, while Hutchinson, the longest of long shots for the nomination, has given a flurry of interviews.

“The Republican Party should not dismiss this case out of hand,” Hutchinson said in an interview. “These are serious allegations that a grand jury has found probable cause on.”

On Sunday morning, Trump’s former attorney general, Bill Barr, weighed in on “Fox News Sunday,” saying he was “shocked by the degree of sensitivity of these documents and how many there were.”

“If even half of it is true, he’s toast,” Barr said. “It is a very detailed indictment, and it’s very, very damning. This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here — a victim of a witch hunt — is ridiculous.”

The critics of Trump also have an appeal that goes to the center of the party’s identity: law and order. Republicans are still attacking Democrats on the rise of street crime after the pandemic even as they attack the FBI, the Justice Department, the special prosecutor and the federal grand jury system.

“If Congress has the ability to have oversight over the Department of Justice, I encouraged them to do it vigorously and fairly and ask all the questions they need,” Christie said on CNN. “But what we should also be doing is holding to account people who are in positions of responsibility and saying, if you act badly, there has to be penalties for that. There has to be a cost to be paid.”

But voters eager to believe the dark tales spun by Trump of a nefarious “deep state,” of “communists” bent on the destruction of America, are receiving encouragement from candidates who are ostensibly Trump’s rivals. For them, the calculation appears to be capturing the former president’s voters if his legal troubles finally end his political career.

“I am personally deeply skeptical of everything in that indictment,” Ramaswamy, a wealthy entrepreneur and author, said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, adding, “I personally have no faith whatsoever in those vague allegations.”

Other candidates were less blunt but equally willing to challenge the integrity of the justice system, a system, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina said, “where the scales are weighted” against conservatives.

In truth, the conservative world is divided. Some figures have, predictably, rallied around Trump with irresponsible rhetoric that appeared to call for violence.

“If you want to get to President Trump, you’re going to have to go through me, and 75 million Americans just like me. And most of us are card-carrying members of the NRA,” said Kari Lake, the failed candidate for governor of Arizona.

More surprisingly were the voices on the Trumpist right who have voiced their concerns — over the charges and over their impact on the Republican Party’s future. When Charlie Kirk of the pro-Trump Turning Point USA called for every other Republican candidate for the presidency to drop out of the race in solidarity with Trump, Ann Coulter, the right-wing bomb thrower, responded, “That’s nothing! I’m calling on EVERY REPUBLICAN TO COMMIT SUICIDE in solidarity with Trump!” — acknowledging that rallying around the former president could send the party to oblivion.

Mike Cernovich, a lawyer and provocateur on the right, criticized the indictment as a “selective prosecution,” but also said, “Trump walked into this trap.”

How the party, and its 2024 candidates, respond will matter, to the country and to the party’s political fortunes. The core Republican voter might stand with Trump, but most Americans most likely will not. It is a dilemma, acknowledged Clifford Young, president of U.S. public affairs at the polling and marketing firm Ipsos.

“For the average American in the middle, they’re appalled,” he said, “but for the base, not only is support being solidified, they don’t believe what is happening."

“Heck,” he added, “they believe he won the election.”

DeSantis Hits Trump Over His Supreme Court Picks: None ‘At the Same Level’ of Thomas and Alito
By Isaac SchorrJun 12th, 2023, 12:49 pm
302 comments





Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis issued a rare conservative critique of former president Donald Trump’s appointments to the Supreme Court on Monday, arguing that they fell short of the “gold standard” set by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

During an appearance on conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, Hewitt asserted that Trump had “hit three home runs with his Supreme Court appointments” of Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.


“Are you going to make the same kind of pledge to the Republicans as you go around the country that your judges will be like the Trump judges?” asked Hewitt.

DeSantis rejected the premise of the question, arguing that Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett were not model justices:

Well, actually, I would say we’ll do better than that. I mean, I respect the three appointees he did, but none of those three are at the same level of Justices Thomas and Justice Alito. I think they are the gold standard, and so my justices will be along the lines of a Sam Alito and a Clarence Thomas. And in Florida, I inherited a very liberal state supreme court, maybe the most liberal in the country, very activist. But I was able to replace three of the four liberals my first month in office with conservative justices. I’ve since been able to make a number of appointments since then. So we now have the most conservative state supreme court in the country.

Trump’s judicial appointees have been praised by even some of his harshest critics on the right as brilliant legal scholars, but some have criticized them for occasionally breaking with the conservative, originalist wing of the court.


Perhaps the most notable instance of this came in 2020, when Justice Gorsuch joined the liberal wing in deciding that the 1964 Civil Rights Act protected gay and transgender Americans from discrimination on the basis of their identity.

Still, Trump’s appointees have largely left conservative activists pleased, especially after their votes proved decisive in overturning Roe v. Wade last summer.

Wrong thread

 

One of the hazards of treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans existing in just their own truth and fact free false propaganda bubbles is they become detached from reality. They are conditioned to immediately jump to Trump's defense no matter what he does. But this time they can't see what matters, This is not just another Trump scandal they can lie their way out of. This is Trump creating one of the greatest national security threats in our history. This is Trump stealing documents on our nuclear weapons program and military plans that actually show US vulnerabilities in case of attack. This is Trump showing those top secret documents to others and leaving hundreds of classified documents and material just laying all over Mar a Lago where multiple foreign spies have already been caught

This is a very big deal. And the only way any true American that loves our country and values our national security can react is in horror and demanding the threat Trump poses be eliminated. And those defending him are going to end up with traitor branded on their foreheads.



Hutchinson warns Republicans to ‘back off’ allegations DOJ has been ‘weaponized’

Sun, June 18, 2023 at 9:02 AM MDT




Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, one of several GOP presidential candidates, on Sunday warned his fellow Republicans to “back off” allegations that the Justice Department has been “weaponized.”

“In terms of the overall charge of weaponization of the Justice Department, look at [former president] Donald Trump. He’s already declared that he- if he’s elected president, he’s gonna appoint a special prosecutor to go after the Biden family. That’s called a weaponization of the Justice Department,” Hutchinson said on ABC’s “This Week.”

“And so let’s back off of these accusations, and let’s get back to being the party of the rule of law, of the justice system supporting law enforcement and the equal application of law. Let’s don’t undermine the greatest justice system and criminal justice system and rule of law in the world today, this side of heaven,” Hutchinson said.

Trump, who is leading in national polls as the GOP frontrunner in 2024, has been charged with 37 counts in connection to his alleged mishandling of classified records. He’s pleaded not guilty and decried the case against him as politically motivated.

The indictment and charges have fueled claims from many on the right that the DOJ and federal government have been weaponized and Trump has accused Biden himself of having a hand in the investigation. The White House has steadfastly avoided commenting on the indictment and asserted the DOJ operates independent of the president.

Hutchinson acknowledged he thinks the DOJ has “made some bad decisions,” but took issue with “the whole concept … that so many Republican leaders are adopting that this is the weaponization of the Justice Department.”

Trump Touts MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan In Attack On DeSantis’s Covid Record
By Isaac SchorrJun 29th, 2023, 2:08 pm
117 comments





Former president Donald Trump leaned on an unlikely ally to attack Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over his handling of the pandemic on Thursday: far-left MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan.

In a Truth Social post, Trump shared and favorably quoted a column written by Hasan for MSNBC:


Even now, as DeSantis touts his Covid prowess and his defiant response, one thing you won’t hear him talk about is how last summer, for three months straight, Florida had the highest number of Covid deaths of any state in the nation. In fact, it was the third straight summer in which that was the case.

Hasan argued in his column that each state should be judged by its performance after Covid vaccines became widely available to the public in May 2021, and that Florida has performed worse than its peers since then, the cause of which he attributes to DeSantis’s mismanagement.

He writes:

Here’s the thing. If you know that you have a large, vulnerable, elderly population, shouldn’t you take more precautions during the pandemic, to protect your own residents? You know, promote mask-wearing? Push for widespread vaccination? Encourage booster shots?

DeSantis, of course, loudly — and recklessly — flip-flopped on those public health priorities throughout the pandemic. That has cost the lives of thousands of Floridians, young and old.

“Now, some have compared DeSantis’ handling of the pandemic in Florida to Nero fiddling while Rome burned,” concludes Hasan. “But, in my view, that analogy isn’t quite right. DeSantis is perhaps worse than Nero, because at least he just fiddled. Nero didn’t help spread the fire.”


The pandemic has become a major point of contention between Trump and DeSantis, with the former claiming that former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) did a better job than the latter and DeSantis knocking Trump for following the advice of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Hasan has been similarly unsparing in his assessment of Trump’s approach to Covid, calling it “botched” and comparing him unfavorably to Marie Antoinette.
