Trump gets gagged, McCarthy gets booted. What's next in Trumpworld?

Roll up, roll up for the GOP Mystery Tour!! Trump thread lost-the-count!!!

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is ending her campaign, ceding the nomination to Donald Trump, the Wall Street Journal reports

Will she actually endorse him though?
I don't see how she can with a straight face

It will also be interesting to see who her voters turn to now, will they back Trump?

@BruceAndNosh

I have a feeling she'll endorse him at some point, especially if she's looking for the VP job. I can't remember who it was that was up against Trump in the run up to the election in 2016, but whoever it was he called Trump all sorts of negative names, but once he had the nom, that politician suddenly was in love with him and backed him big time.

@DuncinToffee

That's a real good question. I've heard some say the won't vote at all. We'll just have to wait and see.

"he called Trump all sorts of negative names, but once he had the nom, that politician suddenly was in love with him and backed him big time" offers quite a large field.

Tex Cruz? Lindsey Graham? Chris Christie (he went back on his arselicken recently but was quite pro-Trump for a while)? Marco Rubio?

This is all such shit. I can't believe Trump isn't in prison and may yet be elected President again. Something is very rotten indeed in the States of America. I find it incredible after everything that's happened, particularly the January 6th insurrection and the reversal of Roe v Wade. My flabber is well and truly gasted.

more money trouble

I very much doubt that Trump is going to (be able to) pay what he owes at this point: he doesn't have the cash and if he sells off assets he'll get very low prices for them because people are not stupid; they won't offer top dollar when he is desperate to sell.

World leaders really ought to start saying they are in favour of Putin doing whatever he wants to Trump, because "you have to pay your debts".

A canny Putin would openly pay off Trumps debts just to continue the meltdown of US democracy.

Wouldn't even the mindless Maga mutts notice that?

Not at all.

Remember they are quite willing to make him King. A few foreign dollars ain't gonna sway much against that. In fact it may well reinforce their devotion.

There seems to be a lot of grown up commentary that notes the louder and more vocal MAGA becomes, the less they actually win at the ballot. Which may yet translate into a massive GOP loss in November.

Bad form to quote myself, but knock me down with a very small feather: "Trump on Friday posted the $92 million bond needed to appeal the civil lawsuit in which juries awarded Carroll tens of millions of dollars after Trump was found liable for defaming and sexually abusing her."

You'd think that would be the least of his worries just at the moment, given the $466,187,622.99 (and constantly rising because of the interest at about a dollar a second) that he owes for the fraud he's been found guilty of in New York.

Good old Mulligatwany Trailer-Queen, classy as ever. Jewish space lasers causing wild fires, indeed! She's off her chump!

Any actuaries on this thread? If so what are the odds of a 78 (almost) overweight man under huge stress getting through the next six months with no health issues? Ditto a relatively fit 81 year old, probably not under as much pressure?

If you haven't, I suggest you watch the TV series "Whops Apocalypse". Apparently team Trump ordered a box set last year.

I read the smart money is starting to flee the US ...

According to the WP Trump just defamed E. Jean Caroll again today;

"“I just posted a $91 million bond — $91 million on a fake story, totally made-up story,” Trump said Saturday at a rally in Rome, Ga. He added: “Ninety-one million based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about, didn’t know, never heard of. I know nothing about her.”

Another nice payday in store for her - if there's any money left.

This surely is incitement to riot or encouragement for an insurrection

Trump: Now, If I don't get elected, it's gonna be a bloodbath. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country.

Ok, he was talking about import tariffs on Chinese cars in that previous clip.

A full thread on his unhinged speech with videos here if you can bare it.

What a shame...

Serves him right! I hope this is finally the real start of his fall?!

If it is a real fall, the only thing that will save him is the Presidency and that's rather worrying
Putin would love it too, Russian bots will be everywhere
