Trump Being Abandoned by his Followers and Apologists

The magic is gone. When you’ve betrayed everything and everyone who’s been loyal to you that’s bound to happen. Trump tried to get his VP killed, after all. Many of his most obsequies supporters are beginning to realize that the former reality show host has no loyalties. Trump destroys everything he touches:

[After the failed coup Trump went public] to condemn the rioters whom he himself had incited, and to call for a peaceful transfer of power to president-elect Joe Biden, his base felt betrayed. “So he basically just sold out the patriots who got rounded up for him,” one person wrote in a 15,000-member pro-Trump Telegram group. “Just wow.” In online havens for MAGA extremists, including Gab, CloutHub, MeWe, Telegram and far-right message boards such as 8kun, the tone toward Trump is shifting. HuffPost reviewed thousands of messages across these platforms and found that a growing minority of the president’s once-devout backers are now denouncing him and rejecting his recent pleas for peace. Some have called for his arrest or execution, labelling him a “traitor” and a “coward.” Alarmingly, many of those who are irate about Biden’s supposed electoral theft are still plotting to forcibly prevent him from taking office — with or without Trump’s help.

“Wow, what an absolute punch in the gut”:

“I don’t understand the thinking,” said one popular post on the forum. “Trump told us to march down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol. We listened to the president. They should be thanking us.” “For weeks people were saying how ready they were to fight. The moment it happens everyone starts pearl clutching,” read another popular post. For some, Trump’s video Thursday night, where he acknowledged for the first time that he had lost the election, only intensified the feelings. “Wow, what an absolute punch in the gut,” one post with more than 100 upvotes said. “He says it’s going to be wild, and when it gets wild, he calls it a heinous attack and middle fingers his supporters that he told to be there. Unbelievable.”

FOX News is the most responsible for putting Trump in the White House. Now they are suffering the consequences of carrying his water for all these years:

With Donald Trump’s presidency falling apart, smashed into pieces, Fox News viewers are leaving the channel in droves. They probably now understand they’ve been lied to 24/7 for five years, since Trump became a possible presidential candidate. Right behind Maddow on Wednesday, numbers wise, was Wolf Blitzer’s Situation Room on CNN. He and Jake Tapper scored 4.7 million viewers on their own as events in Washington that actually affect our lives are followed on real networks and not fake ones, like Fox News, where right wing opinion creates “alternative facts.” And really crazy right wing viewers have left Fox completely, maybe for Sinclair or OANN or the Dark Web. Fox is at a cross roads. No one in their right minds respects them, and really nutty people don’t think they’re wacky enough. Someone will have to do a survey to see how many more Fox News viewers contracted or died from COVID after listening to their guests tell them not to wear masks etc. Pretty funny, no? Having thrown in with Trump uncategorically for the last four or five years, Fox News can no longer be trusted by anyone. And what is the guiding principle now since Trump encouraged the Capitol riots? On Fox & Friends, the nitwit anchors can’t even agree on what is wrong or right. Steve Doocey and Brian Kilmeade, programmed to rationalize every idiotic and dangerous thing, and not very bright on good days, are openly fighting with each other. LOL.

And it could be Trump’s devoted lawyer who went to jail as a result of his service to the liar-in-chief who might get his former boss thrown in jail:

New York prosecutors conducted an hourslong interview Thursday of Michael Cohen, US President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, asking a range of questions about Trump’s business dealings, according to three people familiar with the meeting. The interview focused in part on Trump’s relationship with Deutsche Bank, his biggest and longest standing creditor, according to the three people, who weren’t authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

He’s leaving a party that was loyal to him in shambles. Now there is a bitter GOP civil war between those who see Trump for the conman he is and those who choose to drink the koolaid:

As President Trump prepares to leave office with his party in disarray, Republican leaders including Senator Mitch McConnell are maneuvering to thwart his grip on the G.O.P. in future elections, while forces aligned with Mr. Trump are looking to punish Republican lawmakers and governors who have broken with him. The bitter infighting underscores the deep divisions Mr. Trump has created in the G.O.P. and all but ensures that the next campaign will represent a pivotal test of the party’s direction, with a series of clashes looming in the months ahead.

Mike Pence learned the hard way that loyalty to Trump will only destroy you. He almost got killed because of his blind loyalty the last 4 years. Now he is trying to make up for it. Should’ve seen it coming Mike. Just look at what happened to Jeff Sessions. Knowing Trump is the kiss of death:
