Ha. Doubtful Donnie didn’t go to CPAC this year. It was the first time he had missed one in years. No Trump family attended, either. Donnie probably wanted to dodge Iran War questions. His family seems to be pulling away. But someone noticed something, and it definitely was not a good sign for conservatives. With appreciation for MS NOW via and also to Raw Story:
MS NOW host Catherine Rampell took a sharp jab at President Donald Trump on Sunday for skipping the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) convention for the first time in nearly a decade, suggesting he did so to avoid embarrassing optics tied to his “obsession” with crowd sizes.
H0 h0 ho. Now that’s a point that hadn’t been considered for a while. He’s been noticeably quiet about crowd sizes for quite some time, possibly starting with the *lack* of attendance at his stupid, ridiculous, birthday-seizing parade – the one he made about him instead of the Army’s birthday. We can only imagine how the Army felt about *that* nonsense. But back on topic, yes, Dumbass Donnie loves boasting about his crowds, even when they aren’t crowded.
“If we know anything about Donald Trump, it is his obsession with a handful of fairly specific things: gold plating, the Village People, and of course, crowd sizes. So you can only imagine how he must feel seeing this split screen,” Rampell said on MS NOW’s “The Weekend Primetime,” queuing up a split-screen video of the massive No Kings rallies and the CPAC event in Texas.
You can see the video in the RS link up top. Scroll down to the bottom. It’s pretty entertaining. And I finally found out the reason for the frog costumes: has he croaked yet, and unicorns: f*ck Trump. I think the chickens are for TACO, but I’m not completely sure about that.
“On the left side, you have the absolutely massive No Kings day protests, which took over small towns, big cities all over the place, all around the world. Organizers say at least eight million people showed up. And then on the right side of your screen, you have CPAC. Womp, womp. Notice a difference?”
There’s a huge, HUGE difference. Even if you watch it without sound, as I did, you still easily get the picture. CPAC attendees were disappointed and disgusted. Can you blame them? Then add in the No Kings protests in other countries to join ours, and it’s dismal … for CPAC.
“It’s sh—-,” said GOP delegate Warner Kimo Sutton of the event’s turnout, speaking with Mother Jones. “Last time this place was packed.”
Could it also be the rampant disgust with Trump? Some of the speakers had pretty dismal things to say. It seems that conservatives are done with Trump. But it’s going to burn him with this comparison. You *know* someone is going to get that video to him, even if they’re sneaky about it. He’ll have a raging fit. I hope they have the plastic up in the White House to protect it from ketchup.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
I figured he probably wasn’t physically up to making the trip and appearing on stage, but that’s just my guess.
It’s something I completely hadn’t considered! And it could very well be true, although he seems to be in good enough shape to keep golfing…
