Trump’s officials are quietly concerned about his “blatant criminal behavior.” What took them so long?

It is time to stop examining the chaos and time to do something about it.

I have a source inside the Trump regime who feels, in their own words, “a little disillusioned.” This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,” but is now concerned about the “blatant criminal behavior” of Donald Trump. Really? His last administration didn’t show you that? Well, OK.

This source first approached me by saying, “I can provide you bonafides to show you I’m serious.” That impressed me because I didn’t think many people inside the Trump regime knew what bonafides were, let alone how to be serious.

This source’s concerns about Trump are indeed legitimate, and deserve to be heard. “Not all of us are buying everything he says,” this person told me. “We understand the problem, but we see no solution. You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy. Congress can’t be trusted and the judiciary so far hasn’t been able to stop him.”

    You have to blame media for its part in it.

    Social media played a heavy hand in artificially inflating trump with its complete and blatant refusal step in and curtail any of the deluge of manufactured bullshit, fake AI controlled accounts, troll farm posts, blatant misinformation, etc, etc, etc.

    broadcast media as well, for being so thirsty for ratings and another trump presidency they basically sanewashed every thing he did, when they could bother reporting on it at all, because they knew if he got elected it’d be 4 more years of people desperately turning in every day to see what fresh horrors trump was unleashing, which would drive ratings and revenues to the stratosphere.

      I totally blame the media for a massive part of it. Biden has one bad debate and the news talked about it for over a month.

      trump literally did the handjob dance and stood there doing nothing for 40 minutes, and it was out of the news cycle in 24 hours.

      The news is why he got elected both times. Which is why I refuse to watch news anymore.

        Which is a prime example of how bias the media is towards Republicans generally, and Trump specifically.

        Democrats do something, and its constant harsh coverage.

        Trump literally being a mentally unstable, unhinged mad man and gets the most soft touch coverage that excuses/ignores 99% of his behavior… When they can be bothered to report on it at all.

        That debate coverage still pisses me off. Biden had just come back from a whirlwind international tour and was jetlagged and sick, attending a debate at like 10pm at night… and media managed to induce some kind of mass hallucination that biden was a decrepit old man who had no command of his faculties like some kind of dementia patient walking around with pants full of shit.
