He was ousted from Project Veritas and now runs O'Keefe Media Group. We have to get rid of Trump," Benjamin Elliston, a senior budget analysis and financial manager for the White House, unknowingly told an undercover reporter, thinking he was on a date with someone he met online.

It's been kind of funny watching people turn on Trump.

O'Keefe.

Alex Jones.

Joe Rogan.

People who were influential in building his brand leaving because they got burned and somehow didn't expect it.

It's a genuine mystery. Trump burns everyone not his family, and sometimes he even burns them.

What made these people, and the entirety of MAGA, fail to see what has always been obvious----that Trump is a criminal and a sociopath?

Let's ask BILL JOHNSON...

Let's not and say we did.

We already know what the Fake Plastic Christian will say.

It says a lot about a person's character that they would partake in this kind of administration thinking they're different.

Both due to the narcissism of such a thought but also to the apparent willingness to go to any depth to make it so.

That's when I've always thought he'd know it was the end, when he started throwing his children under the bus, especially Princess Sparklepony. But I think he's too far gone in his rhythm now to know what the hell to do anymore.
