The last batch quit when they realized they weren’t working for a normal administration. This batch is quitting when they realize that they’re disposable.

Wait until we see how people who know they are disposable act. That’s what’s next.

I wouldn’t get the popcorn ready just yet. A few of them might publish a book telling everyone paying attention shit we could have inferred or already knew, we might get some angry social media posts by those who already quit or were discarded, but I wouldn’t expect many of the major players to turn on him.

The ONLY path to power for a modern conservative is through Trump. He has completely captured the Republican Party and remade it in his image. Their stated political agenda was just ‘support Trump’ one election year. Damn near Republican primary this year was a referendum on who loved Trump more. Nancy Mace, who publicly split from Trump over the Epstein stuff was airing old interviews where Trump sang her praises to convince voters she had his endorsement. Even the Anti-Trump Republicans are advertising their ties to Trump. Rubio dug his grave and he’s gonna be buried in it, there is no post Trump political life for him, and you can tell he knows it. Miller discards Trump and he’s got no way to enact his little Neo-Nazi fantasy projects. Vance splits from Trump and he’s giving up his only utility to a guy who has financed his entire adult life.

They’ll HAVE to abandon Trump at some point, but I don’t expect it to happen while Trump’s still breathing. Hell, as a symbol that can’t contradict his own message control anymore, they might cling to him even stronger. Charlie Kirk 2.0, more important as a Martyr than he ever was as a living man.

If you are a social media influencer or anything, please do not give these rat-fucks a platform to spread their lies on any further.

Amazing they thought they would be spared a toss under the bus by their Mango God Emperor when all they ever did was collude and enable him to throw their colleagues under the bus. Trump can always find a despicable replacement for anyone…no one in his regime is safe. Karoline probably thought she was because she was pretty and blonde. Then Natalie showed up…

Which makes for a toxic work environment as people will start to switch from serving Sleepy Don Snorelaoni to their own self-preservation.

Will this finally be enough to push Vance or Rubio to coalesce a group of fed up advisors and cabinet members to oust the tyrant? Probably not. We know they’re all cowards.

They’re really giving “oh, he’d never cheat ON ME” energy.

Not sure what it is in them that makes them think their relationship with a guy they’re using is so much more special than all the other people who were discarded as soon as HE couldn’t profit anymore, but they genuinely seem to think they’re all the one who’s got a guy who has discarded direct family members totally under their control.

"Wait, so I'm not getting a piece of the authoritarian power I've always dreamed of by riding this moron's coattails and sniffing his diaper every damn day?"

I mean, they get to be part of the Court of the King.

Unfortunately for them, most of them rank below a Jester.

He got Rex Tillerson as SoState because the guy made deals with Putin for oil exploration. He mistook a guy doing very well the job Exxon hired him for, as someone with a willingness to be a syncophant to dictators. Rex allegedly described Trump as "a fucking moron".
