Donald Trump is currently riding high in the Republican primary, with no other candidates seemingly able to stop him (that may change after the new indictment, however.) But all of those Republicans throughout the country that have lined up behind Trump for a third time might want to listen to the people who know him best, because even the people who worked in his former administration are REFUSING to endorse his 2024 bid. That says a lot more than any of his critics could ever say, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains. Link - https://www.businessinsider.com/membe...
*This transcript was generated by a third-party transcription software company, so please excuse any typos. Now I know that Donald Trump is still obviously the very clear front runner in the Republican primary Republicans of all shapes and sizes out there. Doesn't matter who they are, where they are, they still think Trump is the guy by golly, and only Ron DeSantis running against him is polling at more than 3%. Ron DeSantis is at 17%. Trump is in the mid fifties. Everybody else is 3% or below. Trump's got the nomination on lockdown. Now those numbers may change with the new indictment, but as it is, Trump's got the support of the average everyday Republicans out there. And the reason I specify the average everyday Republicans out there is because a new report came out this week from N B C News telling us that of the 44 former members of Donald Trump's cabinet, while he was president of the United States, of the 44 people, only four have endorsed his 2024 presidential campaign. The rest are either refusing to comment or have refused to endorse him or not just refuse to endorse him, but are actively working to make sure he doesn't become the nominee. Let me read you this, this from Business Insider. The four former cabinet members supportive of Trump 2024 were Matthew Whitaker, former Acting Attorney General Mark Meadows Trump's former chief of staff, Russell Vaught, Trump's former budget chief, and Richard Grinnell, former acting director of National Intelligence according to N B C. So four out of 44 is a little less than 10%. So of the people who worked in Donald Trump's cabinet, more than 90% of them have said, I'm not endorsing that guy. And here's why I'm even talking about this. It's not just a haha moment, although let's have a haha moment because ha, the people who worked for you hate you. What it is is more of a cautionary tale for the average everyday Republicans out there who say, I support Trump. The people who worked with him, the people that saw him every day in ways that you or I could never even fathom. They have seen how he handles crises. They have seen how he handles non-emergencies. They have seen him personally again, in ways that you can't even imagine. And after witnessing all of that, whether they were with the administration for a year, for three years, four years, whatever, 90 plus percent of them said, we don't need that again, if that's not the biggest warning to you MAGA folks out there, then I don't know what is. The people who know him best are telling you, this is not the guy. 'cause I can sit here all day long telling you how horrible Trump is talking about his indictments and whatnot, and that's not gonna affect you at all. I'm Just, just some, you know, left wing guy on YouTube yelling at you and you hate me and I hate you and all this crap if you're not gonna listen to me. Listen to the people who know him best. Listen to the people who had to work for him. Listen to the people who saw him in situations that you can't even fathom. And when those people tell you that, not only am I not endorsing him, I'm working to make sure he doesn't get back. That's the biggest warning you can get. They know what they saw. They know who he is. They know him on a deeper level than any of you will ever know him. And they are telling you, by not endorsing him, we need someone else. And if you're not going to listen to the people who know him best, then congratulations. You're officially in a cult.
