Trump has gotten a big surge of money — more than $12 million as of Saturday — and polls show him with a massive lead over his next closest Republican challenger, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis who has not publicly declared his desire to run.
“The only crime I have committed is to defend our country fearlessly against those who wish to destroy it,” Trump declares. “And now, these radical left lunatics seek to use law enforcement to interfere with our elections.”
On Saturday, Trump attended UFC 287 and received a large show of support from the audience members. When he was announced, he received loud applause and a standing ovation from the audience. “USA!” yelled the crowd.
Trump was in the company of Kid Rock and Mike Tyson.
The audience roared when one of the combatants, Jorge Masvidal, complimented Trump as the “greatest president in the history of the world.”
Masvidal also complimented DeSantis as a fine governor before saying it was critical to remove the “Let’s Go, Brandon” person from office. “Let’s go, Brandon,” he led a roaring chant.
Can anyone envision Joe Biden garnering even a fraction of that type of reaction? It’s simply not going to happen.
While Trump has received a lot of money in response to the indictment because people desire to support him, he did something that I don’t think any candidate running for office has ever done. He advised Americans not to give to him if they were struggling. This has to be one-of-a-kind.
“Do not send anything if you are doing poorly, as so many of you are,” Trump urged. If you’re doing well, please send your contributions, he said.
Trump has a history of firsts, and this is very likely one of them.
If the Democrats sought to destroy Trump, they look to have failed miserably. They may have received an indictment, but there is a long road ahead of them, with several issues in the case. According to George Washington law scholar Jonathan Turley, the case might fall apart. If that happens, Trump may become much more powerful. Meanwhile, they may have pumped up Trump in the process, and, as I have stated, even CNN is scared that this is all going to backfire.
Meanwhile, Biden’s popularity is plummeting, with CNN reporting that just one-third of Americans believe he merits a second term. That’s quite bad.
There’s a long way to go until 2024, but there are already encouraging signals
