The previous defeated, president is less popular inside the GOP than ever before. I’ve maintained that the Republicans were willing to let the Dems. do the heavy lifting of the Jan 6 investigation; they can still kvetch about how “unfair” or “irrelevant” it is but benefit from the revelations about him with SOME in the party. Thus, making it less likely he’ll be their 2024 nominee.
“When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it,” Trump asserted.
“Now Elon should focus on getting himself out of the Twitter mess because he could owe $44 billion for something that’s perhaps worthless,” Trump continued in a separate post. “Also, lots of competition for electric cars!”
Trump proved to be ‘in the thrall of fanatics with ridiculous plans’ — and next time would be worse
The former president’s actions mirrored tactics used by foreign despots and extremists in fractured societies where democracies failed, and Collinson said there’s no reason to expect Trump to abandon that strategy that came so close to working.
“His past conduct suggests exactly the opposite,” he wrote. “The impression that was left from Tuesday’s hearing — particularly the details of a heated Oval Office meeting in December 2020 — was not just that Trump was in the thrall of fanatics with ridiculous plans to steal the election. He was one himself. And it raised the question — especially since more mainstream members of his inner circle have now broken with him to testify — about the caliber of people who would surround the ex-President if he succeeds in a quest to reclaim power in 2024.”
John Bolton admits planning coups d’etat ‘not here, you know, other places’ while discussing January 6
‘The notion that Donald Trump was half as competent as the Venezuelan opposition is laughable’
“As someone who has helped plan coups d’état — not here but, you know, other places — it takes a lot of work,” Mr Bolton told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
Mr Bolton began his remarks on his past plotting coups by disagreeing with Mr Tapper’s assertion that “one doesn’t have to be brilliant to attempt a coup.” He then criticised President Donald Trump, his former boss, for doing all the work that he alluded to doing in his past plotting.
“It was just stumbling around from one idea to another,” Mr Bolton said of Mr Trump. “Ultimately, he did unleash the rioters at the capitol. As to that, there’s no doubt.”
