Over the weekend, something weird happened. And I'm not talking about that weird Q event over in Dallas. Now I'm talking about on Donald Trump's, uh, internet. It seems that his little personal blog, he created just a few weeks ago to counteract his Twitter ban.

When Mia, all the posts were gone, the website itself was down for a while. And

Finally, Wednesday, his aids admitted. Yeah, the blog is it's dead and it ain't coming back. Donald Trump is back to his little new news releases from the desk of the 45th president of the United States decided to kill the blog. And there's a reason for that, by the way, the reason was because nobody was going to his stupid little blog. And we had actually reported on that like two, three weeks ago, like it was a week or two after the blog had launched, it was already a total failure because the goal of it let's remember the goal of this little blog. The president former president had created was to get his followers to go over there, copy and paste his statements. Then they would send that out on Twitter and other social media, they would post it on Facebook. You know, they would become the voice of Donald Trump, but it never happened because they apparently didn't care enough where they didn't know how to do it. Whatever, the reason they weren't sharing his posts, like he thought they

Would and he was heartbroken over it. So

He finally decided to screw it. I'm going to get rid of my blog. Nobody's reading it anyway. And as Matt fuller from the daily beast, put it on Twitter. He said, killing your blog is probably the most blogger thing to ever happen because yeah, it's the world of blogging. That's why it's not that big anymore. But here's the thing. This is actually really bad news for Donald Trump.

Not just because he doesn't

Get to do his blog posts. As I said, he's still going to issue his statements from the desk of the 45th president. What it means is that his supporters may not care as much as he

Thinks they do, or more likely they do care. There's just not as many of them as he had thought. You know,

I think that's one thing that's kind of gotten

Lost in the shuffle here. Yeah, sure.

The guy got more votes in 2020 than any Republican has

Ever. Most of those

People are Republicans who are going to vote for a Republican, regardless of who that Republican is. Same thing with the Democrats, by the way, totally tribal here in the United States. It is not a Testament to how good the candidate really

Is. Yes. But when it comes to the diehards, we have seen

Trump pack auditoriums with, you know, 10, 15, 20,000 people, 20,000 people. That's a lot until you about the fact, okay, you pack 20,000 people from

A state with 20 million people. Maybe that's not as big as we think. Now that's not to say that there aren't millions of diehard Trumpers. There are, let's be honest. There are, but

They're not as powerful. They're not as influential

As Trump would need them to be, to continue to run for office or be

Successful, or really even be influential. As I have repeatedly said, the only power that Trump actually has is the power that Republicans pretends he has when it's put into practice. And not just theory the theory that he has power when it's put into practice. This blog is exhibit a as to the fact that this guy doesn't have the power and the influence that Republicans want to think that he has. So that's what this story means. Yes. It's fun to laugh at him for his little blog failing. That's just an added bonus. The icing on the cake, the real heart of the story is the fact that maybe Trump's

Base isn't as

Active or as powerful or as large

As Republicans had hoped. It was.
