A tale of a two-faced Trump

Yesterday, I wrote this post about Gov. DeSantis's interview with Mark Levin of Life, Liberty & Levin fame. I included this CBS article in my post. The CBS article includes the report that Donald Trump was so excited to endorse then-Rep. DeSantis that he didn't even wait until DeSantis announced his candidacy to endorse Gov. DeSantis.

In the tweet, Trump wrote "Congressman Ron DeSantis is a brilliant young leader, Yale and then Harvard Law, who would make a GREAT Governor of Florida. He loves our Country and is a true FIGHTER." The tweet is dated 12:40 PM · Dec 22, 2017.

That's significant because this article is titled "Trump claims Ron DeSantis cried in front of him while asking for his endorsement back in 2018." The latter article is dated Feb 2, 2023, 11:34 PM CST. One of the things that Trump insists happened was that "There were tears coming down from his eyes. He said: 'If you endorse me, I'll win.'" Also according to the article, "Donald Trump claims Ron DeSantis cried while asking for his endorsement in 2018."

The lies don't stop there. Trump's lies are glaring:

According to Trump: "He was 1 of 150 people doing TV defending me and he was no Jim Jordan. I mean I had a lot of people that defended me great but he was good and he defended me. And so, all of a sudden, he's running for governor and people didn't view him as a governor because he was a congressman defending me."

Trump's timeline doesn't fit with reality. First, the Trump impeachment hearings didn't start until 2020. Multiple times, Greg Gutfeld has told the story that impeachment got in the way of Democrats noticing COVID. COVID didn't start until March, 2020. OOPS! DeSantis became Governor in Jan., 2019.

Further, as I stated, Trump's endorsement tweet is dated 12:40 PM · Dec 22, 2017:

Apparently, Trump isn't afraid to tell whoppers. This isn't surprising since 3 of Trump's highest-profile employees are Michael Cohen (convicted), Paul Manafort (convicted) and Roger Stone (convicted). Trump pardoned Manafort and Stone. But I digress.

Why would Gov. DeSantis cry while begging Trump for his endorsement when Trump endorsed DeSantis for governor before DeSantis announced his run for governor? Better yet, why would Gov. DeSantis beg Trump for Trump's endorsement when Trump had already endorsed Gov. DeSantis?

Finally, why should we vote for a candidate who's certain to get impeached again if Democrats regain the majority again? Trump is a lame duck president from Day One in that scenario. Don't we deserve a president that's energetic, who gets things done and who isn't a bald-faced liar? Trump is a liar and he's undisciplined. Those spots won't change anytime soon.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
