Kari Lake spent much of the year 2023 hanging around Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump to the point where reports last summer claimed that she had basically "moved in" to the resort. But a new report says that the relationship between Lake and Trump began to sour late last year after Trump started getting sick of her and her election lies. Trump believes that Lake is blowing her chance to win the Arizona senate seat, and essentially booted her out of Mar-a-Lago. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Kerry Lake spent so much time at Mar-a-Lago in the year 2023 that people in Mar-a-Lago were referring according to reports from last year, uh, referring to her as someone who lived at Mar-a-Lago. Basically, she was there so often latching herself onto Donald Trump, just hoping for the chance to be his running mate. And those hopes have been dashed. According to a new report from the Washington Post, Kerry Lake has officially been booted out of Mar-a-Lago by Donald Trump himself. Let me read this. At one point last year after grumbling for months that she was at his Mar-a-Lago club, too often Trump gently suggested to Lake that she should leave the club and hit the campaign trail in Arizona. According to a person with direct knowledge of his comments, Trump has also asked others if she can really win an Arizona and if she might drag down his own poll numbers as he seeks the presidency again, in 2024, advisor said, uh, he also has told the people close to him, according to this report, that her claims of the 2022 gubernatorial race in Arizona being stolen from her, he says, that is totally bogus.
Uh, she didn't win. Trump bluntly told a political ally at a Mar-a-Lago dinner earlier this year. But it wasn't just, Hey, you're spending too much time here. You need to go run for Senate. Go on skedaddle. Um, according to the report, what really kinda sealed the deal was when the story broke that Kerry Lake had secretly recorded the Arizona Republican party chair, who of course has now since resigned, uh, asking her to Please get outta the race and we'll give you money if you just go away for good. Trump responded according to his, uh, people close to him that spoke to Washington Post. He said she tapes everything. That's good to know.
So it was shortly after that that Donald was like, Hey, um, yeah, could you just get the hell outta here like, I don't know if you're wearing a wire or what, but, uh, go on, get ti time for you to leave and go run for Senate. So apparently Donald Trump, according to uh, you know, reading between the lines here seemed really uneasy with the thought of being recorded all the time. Now, I wonder why that could be. I guess we'll never have a real answer to that. But either way, it didn't sit well with Donald Trump. So he showed Kari Lake the door. He is also openly, uh, to the people around him, not publicly, but openly in private, uh, talked about the fact that he doesn't think she can win in Arizona, and that's actually not that far off to believe, considering that all the polling data suggests she's not going to win. So things have gone from kind of ugly with Carrie Lake to just downright humiliating.
She has lost every single one of her court cases. Uh, you know, she had to settle her defamation lawsuit announced that she wasn't gonna put up a fight. So she's gonna have to pay the Maricopa County recorder that she defamed. Yeah, now she's booted out of Mar-a-Lago, in addition to all of that and her horrible poll numbers.
