He has the ability to read his marks. And his marks are on both sides of the aisle. Enraging his enemies is what his base wants along with conservative justices and a way to keep white men in charge of the country. He would enact an agenda that is anathema to what pre -birther DJT would have wanted, but his base wants it. and being President enriches his family and keeps him out of jail.
Let me spell it out for you. Assa Hutchington is a RINO. R I N O - that spells RINO. The only thing worse than RINO is a Liberal. RINOs despise the freedom that is the seed of America. All they want is to swamp the military industrial index and express contempt for the Constitution we were born under as a nation.
New: DOJ seeking 5.5+ years in federal prison for Robert Sanford, the retired firefighter who assaulted a cop with an extinguisher on Jan. 6.
When the worst weapon at the "insurrection" is a fire extinguisher, maybe it is time time to quit calling it an insurrection and instead call it for what it was ... a mostly peaceful protest.

It's not clear to me that Trump's "success" has had anything whatsoever to do with his ability, or not, to "enrage" the left. The left - and all reasonable Americans - fear what he and Trumpism means, as they should. Possibly being enraged by it is completely reasonable, and isn't some "accomplishment" on the part of Trump.
Trump's success is, in fact, almost, if not completely, on one side of the aisle. He shows them horrendous behavior, and they like it or tolerate it. Ditto lying and playing them for fools and hoovering their money and.....
Biden’s America. This is why the Republicans are going to make this election about drag queens and Hunter Biden.
thr Atlantic:
Last month, Target announced that it would pay new employees as much as $24 an hour and extend health benefits to anyone working at least 25 hours a week. The company is hardly the only one coughing up cash to lure in new workers or retain those on staff. Starbucks recently set a national minimum wage of $15. McDonald’s, Dairy Queen, and Subway franchises have been offering signing incentives. Lowe’s is giving bonuses to hourly workers this month.
This is good news. What is even better is that such pay bumps are not just a recent trend. After a brutal few decades in which low-wage jobs proliferated and the American middle class hollowed out, the working poor have started earning more.

Target said they'd pay "some" workers not all. The minimum is still $15.
Even if they get the $24 they'll still have to work an hour to be able to afford a gallon of gas and a dozen eggs..
Meanwhile, in the liberal utopia of Portland Walmart has abandoned the city completely due to the Democrats refusal to treat criminals like criminals.
A republican governor spells this problem out for us:
Former Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark.) on Sunday said former President Trump’s 2024 message appeals to an “angry mob” in response to remarks Trump made at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, in which he pitched himself as fighting a “final battle” for “retribution.”
“First of all, if you want to heal our land, unite our country together, you don’t do it by appealing to the angry mob. And that’s true whether you’re talking about an angry mob from the left or the right. And so that’s problematic,” Hutchinson said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“Whenever you’re looking at the leader of our country, you don’t want him to be engaged in a personal vendetta. And when he talks about vengeance, he’s talking about his personal vendettas, and that’s not healthy for America, it’s certainly not healthy for our party,” Hutchinson said.
Let me spell it out for you. Assa Hutchington is a RINO. R I N O - that spells RINO. The only thing worse than RINO is a Liberal. RINOs despise the freedom that is the seed of America. All they want is to swamp the military industrial index and express contempt for the Constitution we were born under as a nation.
Anyone who criticizes Trump regardless of how conservative or how republican they are, are RHINO's. (liz Cheney is a Rhino too! You have followed the Marching orders of Lord Trump)
The people that are posting Polls of DeSantis beating Trump are forgetting that there will be a broad primary. The useless polls are only Trump vs Desantis alone as if they were the only choices. Trump will obliterate Desantis in a primary with many GOP candidates siphoning off the "I'm done with Trump" votes and Trump will have his 30% of the GOP that will never, ever leave him. The GOP knows this and that is why nobody is standing up to Trump. He has all the cards and they have none. This is playing out exactly like 2016 when all the GOP said, "we will just ignore him and he will go away".

Trump just ran away with the straw poll at CPAC. Barring some major development Trump is going to be the nominee and whatever pile of flesh the Democrats trot out to run will win easily. If Trump loved America more than he loves Trump he wouldn't run. Alas, all politicians are narcissists.

WRONG!
As has been pointed out elsewhere, CPAC has become TrumpPAC. All other serious contenders stayed away for a reason. That event has become basically a meeting of the Trumpettes. That Trump got only 62% of the votes among the Trumpettes is a HORRIBLE result. It certainly does not bode well for Trump.

I feel like you people are arguing over the dumbest points. I’ve been alive since 1988. I have never lived during a progressive presidency. The difference between Republican and Democrat presidents in this era is that when they both eventually decide to nuke Moscow; republicans will pick a handsome white dude and the dems will have a trans person drop the bomb. It’s as simple as that really.
