TRUMPTON ~ The Intro to Land of the Free and the Not So Free (revised edition)
Page 26 Blowback by Miles Taylor
Everyone remembers election night 2016 and the shock of Trump's comeback victory. But what I remember is the gloating, specifically from one GOP representative.
A Southern legislator leaned against a gold railing on the House floor several days later, trying to convince me Trump wouldn't be so bad. The party would benefit from his brash antics, the congressman reasoned. Trump would keep the pressure on "the ribs."
"Sure, he's a dick, but now he's our dick," he quipped ebulliently.
End quotation by Miles Taylor
Well that was 2016.
Two days ago 2023, The Quiffe has informed Americans that no matter what happens to him in the courts, don't be downhearted, for he will still run for president in 2024.
It would normally be laughable. But the Electorate is not exactly famed for its discernment, wisdom, knowledge and understanding, especially on geopolitics.
