Trump Refuses DeSantis Plea to Cancel Florida Rally
July 1, 2021 at 6:44 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 6 Comments


Washington Examiner: “Former President Donald Trump is rejecting pleas from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to postpone a campaign-style rally this weekend some 200 miles from the Miami suburb amid a search survivors in the Surfside collapse… DeSantis’s office has ‘made a direct plea’ to the former president’s team, calling on it to postpone the Saturday event in Sarasota.”

“One Florida Republican bluntly said Trump and his team need to ‘read the room.’ … For now, the Trump camp is holding firm.”

I really hope he gets taken out by a tornado.

I don't even care about justice anymore at this point, because it will probably never happen. I just want him removed from the face of the earth.

DeSantis shouldn't stop free enterprise, just because Trump wants to sell some hats.
Hat sales may be the single biggest soource of income for Trump now that his org and CFO have been indicted.
Prison toothpaste is not cheap!

Nobody is covering Trump anymore. It's great. And he can't Tweet about it so he can't draw attention to it. Even FOX News is barely covering what he's doing.

Since he doesn't have an Air Force to command anymore, holding rallies to spread the virus is the only way Trump can kill people now. That's apparently something he likes to do.

15. Nov. 10, 2020: "What's the downside of humoring him?"
Thu Jul 1, 2021, 08:44 AM

GOPers keep finding more and more downside of humoring him, but they never learn.


Speaking about President Trump’s and his legal team’s myriad and baseless claims of massive voter fraud, an anonymous senior Republican official offered a rhetorical shrug.

“What is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? No one seriously thinks the results will change,” the official said. “He went golfing this weekend. It’s not like he’s plotting how to prevent Joe Biden from taking power on Jan. 20. He’s tweeting about filing some lawsuits, those lawsuits will fail, then he’ll tweet some more about how the election was stolen, and then he’ll leave.”

The room still has clowns like desantis bending over backwards to disenfranchise voters with bullshit voting laws. All to appease a disgraced, twice impeached, one-term banned Twitter user.

Question: How many trumpistas are stupid enough to attend a rally with a hurricane bearing down on it?
Answer: all of them.

He knows damn freaking well drumpfs care for no one but themselves. He's begging them to at least pretend to be human, but they have zero interest in that - they need to see significant $$ before they pull themselves out of the spotlight they love so much.

Tropical storm or not he won’t risk anyone thinking he caved to DeSatan. If he is forced to cancel due to the storm I can see him lashing out at DeSatan just to prove he’s not getting pushed around by him. This could prove to be interesting.

Considering the proximity of his home to the disaster, if he had a half dozen decent cells in his being he might offer to help in some way rather than doing what he does best: talk about himself and grift.
