Georgia is going to be crucial in November so this is the perfect time to pick a fight with the Republican governor, who has demonstrated an ability to win close elections twice, and has an election organization that could help Trump do the same. Why does Trump do this?
- Trump never forgets a perceived grudge.
- Worthless sycophants surrounding Trump who always cater to his worst instincts.
- His endless rally speeches. Trump is winging it, so eventually he returns to his greatest hits, and in Georgia his greatest hits is that Brian Kemp could have dug up enough votes to get him over the top in 2020. What actually lost Georgia for Trump was his stupid insistence that his voters not vote by mail and show up election day. A recipe for marginal Republican voters not to vote at all. But of course Trump can never admit to making a mistake.
I thought this time we had a more disciplined and wiser Trump. I was wrong.
If Trump were a character in our novel we could easily write out those flaws. However, we need to be supportive and pray that in the last real world chapter he’ll turn out to be our hero.
You don’t change your habits past the age of 40. So someone once told me. Expect people not to change once they have hit mid-life. They will always go back to the same errors. This is true of Trump. He will always put his foot in it no matter how much you think he won’t. He is still your best option out there and a decent one.
Ezabelle,
It is hard to change after 40 but not impossible. Though I suspect Trump is pretty hard-set. I agree, after all the disinformation out there is culled, he is a relatively decent one. The alternative is, what Rush Limbaugh called, Willie Brown’s mattress.
Except his comments were right- Kemp cost him Georgia in 2020. Kemp is a backstabbing SOB as is the Secretary of State and Trump was reminding his audience of that fact.
The same attitude that drives us crazy is also the attitude that can make the man stand against impossible odds.
I completely disagree.
Trump’s being brash has always been a great strength. He’s believable because he doesn’t mince words; he makes plain he doesn’t care if he offends someone. I respect that, even if I don’t always agree with him. Crude, maybe, yet this society has not seemed to respond to reason or Catholic principles. It more often sees fit to smear both.
Sometimes you really do need to recognize a railroad spike for what it is–a railroad spike, not a ten-penny nail–and point it in with a sledge-hammer.
I consider that I have loooong been disgusted with “gentlemanly” or “ladylike” dress or behavior when people demand to change cultural norms. If you insist on abortion, “safe” sex, or insist I use gender-neutral language, you have very little credibility with me. Clean up your own act before you start chastising someone about a stained tie or scuffed shoe.
I’d like every Republican advertisement for the next three months to have one of about three images: what’s going on at the border, 2020 riots, and ones which contrast the treatment of the J6 protesters to Antifa and other Democratic clients.
JF and Art Deco….
In agreement with your comments and pray that enough people are awake to the biggest threat to our democracy, which is not Trump, but the Democrats themselves. Too many damn socialists and marxists within that community.
Trump isn’t just fighting aginist the lefts onslaughts of dirty lawfare, misrepresentation in his opponents ad’s and biased reporting by the MSM. He has Rupublicans, so-called, who hate him as much Chucky Schumer.
Draining the Swamp was/is, a gargantuan task.
Snipers with talent exist.
God help President Trump.
I thought the same thing when I saw it … I guess Trump had nothing better to do than open up a second front in his war for Georgia. Even if Kemp really is “disloyal” or whatever Trump’s insult of the week is now, why alienate his supporters?
This is the 3rd presidential election in a row in which I am not voting for Trump (and God help us all if he is the nominee for 2028), but I think you and Gov. Kemp give him good advice. Trump should focus on the common adversary and leave the squabbles behind.
Trump is correct on all counts. Kemp and Raffensberger are both in the Biden-Class of Corruptocrats–and Georgia Conservatives (distinct from “Republicans”) know it. Frankly, it’s about time that someone call a spade a spade. This is no longer a patty-cake game as it was with W and Paul Ryan, and you ought to know it.
Trump is obviously not an idiot.
Name calling / pointing out failings helps the opposition
And the opposition deserves opposition.
People see it and it is not a major mistake
Was Kamala a DEI VP choice? Question asked of Trump at Black Journalists confab. All Trump had to do was quote Joe Biden who said his VP had to be a black female. Later Biden added or female of color. There are videos ad nauseum of the remark.
Kemp is a backstabber. There’s enough of those in the Republican party. You do for them and they’re going to expect something back. The uniparty is real as is the Deep State. The attempted assassination was an inside job. Take that to the bank.
Kemp should have stood up for Trump in 2020.
Delete this. You missed by a mile.
He can’t suppress the petulant man-child long enough.
In fairness to Trump, Kemp, Raffersberger, and Duncan’s reaction to Georgia’s elections administration being questioned was one of defensive personal pique. Duncan’s still at it, having now endorsed Harris. Georgia’s system does stink. For starters, they only set up one precinct for every 6,000 residents. The national mean is 1 per 3,000 and New York’s standard is 1 per 1,000. All those long lines the media uses in their narrative pushing is the result of this slovenliness.
No it wasn’t, stop repeating propaganda press lies.
Trump’s team had already “found” questionable votes from the election numbering 150k and just needed the secretary of state office to agree not even on the whole number, just that even 10% of them were problematic to proceed forward with challenges.
At the very least, your summation is backwards, it wasn’t about digging up votes to put him over the top, but removing enough votes to remove Biden’s lead.
Seriously, everything about Georgia was sus.

Since 2020 I have come to believe that Kemp, a subpar RINO candidate from the beginning, really did steal the 2018 election from Stacey Abrams, and she has evidence to that effect. His behavior in 2020 suggested to me that the two made a deal that she would not pursue a case against him if he helped to remove Trump AND secure positions for the two Democrat senators, and now it seems the last part of the bargain is to keep Trump from returning. I agree that spending too much time on this is counterproductive, so I would suggest Trump simply paraphrase the Bard at his rallies as shorthand for the overly inflammatory details: “Something is rotten in the state of Georgia”.
No it wasn’t, stop repeating propaganda press lies.
Trump didn’t care how it happened, never being a detail man. His legal effort after the election was farcical, as it was in almost all cases brought in the other states where he wanted to challenge results. Trump has only to look in the mirror to see who lost Arizona and Georgia in 2020. In any case it was stupidity on stilts for him to bring it up now.
Would that you researched the Georgia case the way you have WW2 or the bombings.

It is idiocy for Trump to slam the GOP Governor of Georgia when he needs his help and that of his organization to win Georgia, whatever happened in 2020. Sometimes Trump acts as if he is trying to throw the 2024 election while refighting the 2020 election.
