Trump LOSES IT, Attacks DeSantis, Slams Media Over Election Disaster
Donald Trump wasted no time attacking Ron DeSantis after DeSantis won big in Florida on Tuesday night while most of the Trump-backed candidates were defeated across the country. Trump posted a series of messages to Truth Social, saying “Now that the Election in Florida is over, and everything went quite well, shouldn’t it be said that in 2020, I got 1.1 Million more votes in Florida than Ron D got this year, 5.7 Million to 4.6 Million? Just asking?” Of course, it’s not fair to compare a presidential election to a midterm since presidential elections always have a higher turnout. But this post was meant to appeal to low-information voters who make up a large part of Trump’s supporters. The former president also posted, “…219 WINS against 16 LOSSES IN THE GENERAL ELECTION, and yet the Fake News writes only unrecognizable junk. No wonder they are all doing sooo badly!” Trump mostly just endorsed incumbent Republicans in safe red areas which explains his win total, while the losses were all hugely consequential and viewed as winnable races for Republicans going into Tuesday night.
Kayleigh McEnany Visibly PANICS, Tells Trump DON'T ANNOUNCE 2024
Fox News personality and former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is warning Donald Trump not to announce his 2024 presidential run in the wake of a poor midterm performance by Trump-backed Republicans. McEnany said, “I think he needs to put it on pause, absolutely. Look, he’ll make that decision. He’ll make his own decision but if I’m advising any contender — DeSantis, Trump, whomever — no one announces ‘24 until we get through December 6th.” Kayleigh went on to make the case that DeSantis should be campaigning for Herschel Walker in Georgia given his strong performance on Tuesday. If a Trump sycophant like Kayleigh McEnany is willing to criticize Trump in this way, there’s no telling what kind of backstabbing he could be up against from slightly more sane right-wing commentators and voters.

Fox News FLIPS OUT As Red Wave Collapses
Fox News hosts and guests appeared traumatized by seeing the red wave they predicted turn into a red puddle on election night. Brian Kilmeade said, “I don’t know about you guys, I’m shocked there was no red wave. If you think about inflation — a 40-year high, crime the worst since the 1980s, the unpopular president with an agenda that’s more green-oriented than people-oriented.” Kilmeade is wrong about crime being at its highest since the 80s, and Biden being unpopular since a 45% approval rating isn’t bad. But more importantly, this goes to show that these Fox personalities are out of touch with the American public. While economic issues were a factor in the election, so were topics like abortion and protecting democracy. The fact there was no red wave was largely a result of the right blundering it away with the authoritarian actions they have taken over the past two years.

The End of Trump? Republicans SLAM Trump for Election Disaster
Republicans are turning on Donald Trump after the massive red wave they predicted for the 2022 midterms didn’t happen. Many right-wingers have been quick to point out that so many of Trump’s hand-picked election-denier candidates lost while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis overperformed expectations with a nearly 20-point victory over Charlie Crist. One user on Twitter wrote, “Trump’s big November 15 announcement should be an endorsement of Ron DeSantis for president in 2024. We can do better.” A writer at National Review posted to Twitter, “The one guy he attacked before Election Day was DeSantis — the clear winner, meanwhile, all his guys are s---ing the bed.” Trump has never been weaker within Republican circles and the timing couldn’t be worse for him since he’s expecting to launch his 2024 campaign next week.
