Trump's Friends Are Now Begging Him To Leave Politics Forever

According to a report by Politico, Donald Trump's closest friends and allies are now telling him to just give up any future political aspirations and retire. They believe that the events of the past week have forever tarnished the President, and that it is unlikely he could overcome the stigma of just the last 7 days. Farron Cousins explains why these friends of the President are correct.

According to a new report from Politico, Donald Trump's friends, the same individuals who had just a few weeks ago, been telling him Donald let's gear up for that 20, 24 presidential run are now telling him just over the past few days that, um, yeah, you probably shouldn't ever run for the office again, do not play. And on a 20, 24 presidential bid. And the reason for this folks is because of the insurrection that took place last week on Capitol Hill, that one single all day, that one event, just all of these loyal Donald Trump friends, the people who stay with him when they don't even have, I have to, but they went up to him and said, you know what, man, um, dude, I gotta be honest. Uh, you look pretty bad after last week. Um, these are your people and you just turned off every normal person in this country.

So yeah, I'm going to go ahead and tell you not, uh, to run for office again, because it's probably going to be very embarrassing for you now, again, that is not an exact quote from any of these Donald Trump friends. That is not a quote from the political piece. So do not think that it is, that is how I imagined those conversations took place, but let's be honest about one thing here. We do know that what took place last week, the little idiot insurrection is not going to bode well for the president of the United States. I have seen, and I know this is anecdotal, but I have lots of, I mean, I live in the South. I have lots of hardcore, very red, uh, conservative, uh, friends. Now they're also very religious and I have seen them posting videos of themselves over the past few days saying, listen, I voted for Trump twice.

I supported him. But after what happened on Wednesday, I am ashamed of myself. I am embarrassed. I would never let this happen again. I want nothing to do with that man. And again, purely anecdotal, but I have seen far too many people that I have gotten into personal feuds with online, over their political, uh, whatevers to see them come out and say, this is rather shocking. It is something that we didn't necessarily expect to happen, but it did. And again, it all comes back to what took place on Wednesday. I mean, for most people that is going to be the last memory they have of this administration and those images, you know, the idiot walking out with the lectern and waving and the shaman man with the horns on his helmet, standing, those are images that will be shown in history books forever. I mean, this is the thing that's going to happen.

This is the thing our children we talked about in Donald. Trump will be right there at the heart of it. It's something he can whitewash this isn't something he can hope the public is going to forget. This is unfortunately for him, one of those events, that's going to stick with people forever much like the pandemic that he also mishandled and his friends are telling him right now, you probably could overcome the recession. You may be, have overcome the pandemic that you mishandled, but I promise you the crazy people who stormed the Capitol and took down an American flag and replaced it with a Trump flag. Yeah. That's pretty much the end of your political ambitions.
