One of Trump's Biggest Supporters has an Epiphany

[PhantomWolf]

After being attacked by Trump over the weekend, Anthony Scaramucci is now suggesting that Trump needs to be replaced on the 2020 Republican Ticket.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Didn't he already turn on Trump? It's hard to keep up.

Not surprised;Mooch always supported Donnie when Mooch thought there was something in it for him. He never struck me as somebody who has much in the way of political principals.
But Mooch needs to be careful; a lot of people compare him with the Joe Pesci charecters in "Goodfellows" and "Casino" and he needs to remember what happened to the character in that movie when his bosses turned on him....

In a tweet shortly after that CNN interview, Scaramucci wrote this:

"To those asking, 'what took so long?' You're right. I tried to see best in @realDonaldTrump based on private interactions and select policy alignment. But his increasingly divisive rhetoric - and damage it's doing to fabric of our society - outweighs any short-term economic gain."

Scaramucci is entitled to his own opinion. But not his own facts. And the facts simply do not line up with the idea that Trump's rhetoric is getting worse or more divisive -- particularly of late. The facts suggest that Trump has always been exactly the person he is today. There's no meaningful change -- for the better or the worse -- in his behavior. Trump is, quite simply, just being Trump.

Consider this: Two years ago today, white nationalist marchers in Charlottesville, Virginia, created a riot that left a woman -- Heather Heyer -- dead. In the wake of that incident, Trump blamed "both sides" -- the white supremacists and those who organized a counter-protest to them -- for Heyer's death.

And on and on and on.

Oof. When I saw the thread title, I thought for sure this would be The One Thing That Ends Trump.

When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be about a thirteen year-old girl named Epiphany, in the fallout of the Epstein case.

The Mooch is the kind of trivia answer Trump always should have been. "Remember when he led in the polls for a couple weeks?"

 

[Craig4]

I don't see where Trump has changed all that much since the Mooch agreed to work for him. He was trying to ignore what was obvious until he couldn't anymore. Still, I guess we should be gracious now that he's abandoned his betrayal of the nation.

Apparently in an Interview on Friday, Mooch offered some mild criticism of Trump, mainly that if he wanted to be reelected he should tune down some of the racially charged rhetoric, but that earned him a nasty tweetstorm from Trump, who cannot stomach criticism of any kind,and that is what caused the "epiphany".

I wouldn't call Bill Clinton one of Trump's biggest supporters.

I do think it's better late than never. I just hope more of Trump's cowardly lapdogs finally see the light and admit that he's unfit to be POTUS. Others will remain willfully blind as we've seen here.

Am I supposed to give a **** about Bill Clinton? If he was one of Epstein's cronies in the underaged sex ring stuff then he deserves to burn with the rest. The commonality in Epstein's chums isn't politics or holding office, though, it's being very rich.

 

[Stacyhs]

Scaramucci just said that Trump isn't necessarily racist but that he just sees people as objects in his way. I think there's a lot of truth to that.

 

[Stacyhs]

I don't think there have ever been any accusations of 'child rape' about either. But Trump is certainly promoting ridiculous unfounded nonsense about Clinton and Epstein's death just as he did with his stupid birther crap. I don't see Clinton returning the same type of crap slinging.

Please. Scaramucci didn't see any light. He has been disparaged by Trump and so, like Trump would do in his shoes, he's decided Trump is bad in all ways. This isn't enlightenment. It's the same sort of immaturity we loathe in Trump.

I know right, I spent most of the interviews yelling at him that Trump hadn't changed, he'd been like this for the last 2 1/2 years at least. I think there is some self delusion in there as that now that he has experienced Trump's outrage personally, and it has woken him up to how Trump really is, he has to keep part of the delusion, that Trump wasn't this bad when he really supported him, because if he was to admit that Trump hadn't been getting worse, then he'd have to accept that Trump was indeed this bad when he got behind him, and that he'd been supporting a vile demagogue.

I suspect that a lot of those that are still trailing along obediently do so because they don't want to face that, kinda like people in a cult don't want to face the fact they have been in a cult all along, so they delude themselves into believing it all, regards as to how crazy it gets.

Enlightenment? I thought the girl's name was Epiphany.

And he's a "front stabber, not a back stabber."

You're likely right. But if we don't think that some of Trump's supporters may eventually open their eyes, then what's the point of any Dems going to the swing states and trying to get them to dump Trump in 2020? I do agree that some are just too stupid or too emotionally invested or too incapable of admitting they got conned, but not all.

Wasn't it your hero who retweeted the conspiracy theory about the Clinton's arranging Epstein's murder? If you are looking for the triggered people they are in the White House, specifically the Oval Office. Or on the right in general where you are unfortunate enough to find yourself.
