One of Trump’s weirdest moves is endorsing hundreds of candidates all over the country running for everything from County Sheriff to Congress in uncontested primaries, many of whom never asked for an endorsement, then claiming credit for their wins against nobody.

"I'm so good at winning I can make other people win too." - Trump

Plus, of course, the mob boss mentality of "You owe me because I helped you, even if you didn't want my help, knew I helped you, didn't need my help or my help didn't actually do anything at all to help you."

It's so he can tell them they own him after the election, if he needs to "find some votes" or creating some fake electors. If he somehow wins he will need people to make sure he gets a third term by changing rules and rigging the system.

That did not work in 2022 or back in 2020 when everyone he backed lost, including when he lost both senate seats in Georgia as he did rallies as a defeated lame duck before 1/6.

Well surprise surprise....NOT!
Bimbo Nikki, after all her Trump bashing during the primaries now is kissing his big fat orange greasy ass looking for a VP job perhaps and said today she would vote for the orange rapist. That's American politics as you know it.

Cant recall on which debate she raised her hand in supporting Drump but I do recall the way in which she did it which looked really cringey if somewhat pathetic. Embarrassing as it is but what did you expect, surprised how her 'back bone' lasted that long.

Hmm, DOJ authorized deadly force against a former Pres.

Is that fascism yet? No, of course not. It's perfectly acceptable, because fascism.

Just a wild time to be in the US. Look at how the Democrats wield power. Very vicious and nasty.

GOP lawmakers conflate standard FBI policies with an assassination attempt on Trump

Congressional allies of Donald Trump on Tuesday appeared to misconstrue standard operating procedure at the FBI with what they called an attempt by President Joe Biden's administration to assassinate the former president during a 2022 search of his Mar-a-Lago property for classified documents.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., wrote on X that the Justice Department and the FBI had plans to “assassinate” Trump “and gave the green light.”

Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., posted on X that President Joe Biden “ordered the hit on Trump at Mar-a-Lago,” Trump's residence in Palm Beach, Florida.

The posts came shortly after Trump, who was not at Mar-a-Lago on the day of the FBI search, wrote on Truth Social that he had been shown reports indicating “that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE.”

Trump, who has often accused Biden of weaponizing the justice system against him, appeared to be referring to newly unsealed court filings related to documents found at Mar-a-Lago after the FBI search it in 2022.

In a rare statement Tuesday night, the FBI said that it had followed standard procedure during the search of Trump's property and that no additional steps had been ordered.

“The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force. No one ordered additional steps to be taken and there was no departure from the norm in this matter,” the statement said.

According to Justice Department policy, law enforcement officers are allowed to use force only when no other safe alternatives appear to exist. The policy further says deadly force is permitted only "when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person."

Even right-wing former FBI agents who regularly criticize the bureau pushed back on the focus on the FBI protocols, calling the documents “boilerplate,” “nothing out of the ordinary,” and “a giant nothing" burger (using a hamburger emoji), in posts on X. “The hyperbole and emotion over this is ridiculous, especially considering legitimate reasons to question the MAL raid,” wrote Garret O’Boyle, who previously testified before a House subcommittee led by top Trump ally, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.

A Trump campaign spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night, and spokespeople for Greene and Gosar did not elaborate on their posts.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges that he willfully retained national defense information in connection with classified documents that were uncovered at his Florida estate after he left office and that he ordered a Mar-a-Lago staffer to delete security video at the property. The trial has been indefinitely postponed.

And how often does Mr. Trump make contact with reality to care about that?
