Sadly, he's the minority in today's Republican party.

 

Like I said, even if Trump keeled over tomorrow he's started a "movement" (of sorts). But in the event he did, who would become their Dear Leader then?

I guarantee that some of his more extreme supporters would vote for him even if he was dead.

The only movement Trump reminds me of is the final bowel movement of a bed-ridden patient.

Movement implies a direction. There's only one movement for Trump, and anyone who lives in his world.

Sorry Ramaswamy, on the tiny chance any of you win, you can't pardon a state crime

Politico: Trump crowns Ramaswamy the debate’s winner — for praising him

Former President Donald Trump crowned tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy the winner of the Republican presidential debate Wednesday night — for singing his praises.

“President Trump, I believe, was the best president of the 21st century,” Ramaswamy said in a clip from the debate Trump posted on Truth Social.

Trump, who opted out of the debate and instead had an interview with commentator Tucker Carlson air on social media, said it was a good move by the 38-year-old political newcomer.

“This answer gave Vivek Ramaswamy a big WIN in the debate because of a thing called TRUTH. Thank you Vivek!”
...
It wasn’t Ramaswamy’s only instance defending Trump during the debate. He was also the first candidate to raise their hand when asked who would support the former president as the party nominee if he is convicted on any of the felony charges that he’s facing.

“Join me in making a commitment that one day you would pardon Donald Trump,” Ramaswamy challenged former Vice President Mike Pence, who mostly dodged the question.

How many more (or less) people actually watched Trump's "interview" with Carlson on Twitter, as opposed to numbers watching the actual debate on Fox? Or were the numbers fairly similar?

 

538 have published a good analysis on the actual debate (not the lame-as Twitter interview) here: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/republican-debate-august-poll/

Update 11am New Zealand Time

CNN: Donald Trump surrenders in Atlanta in fourth criminal case brought against ex-president this year

Donald Trump has surrendered at the Fulton County jail on more than a dozen charges stemming from his efforts to reverse Georgia’s 2020 election results, the fourth time this year the former president has faced criminal charges.

Trump departed from his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club and landed in Atlanta Thursday evening to turn himself in at the notorious Fulton County jail.

Like most of his 18 co-defendants in the sprawling racketeering case who have already surrendered at the jail, Trump’s processing through the facility will likely be completed quickly because the former president and his lawyers have already negotiated his consent bond agreement. Trump agreed to a $200,000 bond and other release conditions, including not using social media to target the co-defendants and witnesses in the case.

Trump Trivia:

 

The Washington Post - Trump surrenders, is released from Fulton County jail in Georgia

 

Trump’s jail booking lists a height, weight

 

 

This is a Screenshot of the Fulton County Jail booking entry for former president Donald Trump when he entered the jail in Atlanta on Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023. 

 

Former president Donald Trump’s booking record declared the former president’s height to be 6′3″ and his weight 215 pounds ...

 

EDIT:   That weight is 24 pounds less than the White House doctor reported Trump weighing in 2018.

True to Trumps lying form, his booking weight and height was "self reported" to speed up the booking process!

 

Height 6' 3"

 

Weight 215 lbs <---- Yeah Right!

The Fulton County booking system records Trump as having “blonde or strawberry” hair ... also a self-description?

Strawberry is girl hair. He might qualify as dumb blond.
