BREAKING: Trump “abruptly hangs up” during a phone interview with NPR after he is pressed on how his Big Lie “inspired” the Capitol attack, gets called out on the “multiple judges” who ruled against his Big Lie, and is asked to provide “evidence” of his Big Lie. RT TO THANK NPR!

His problem is after nearly seven years of pushing the dial to “11,” then where do you go from there? More hysterical screaming may no longer be working.

Trump does show a way to hammer these guys as gutless hypocrites. Ds should be doing the same. Ask them a simple question that is easy to answer as ‘yes’ or ‘no’, then let them squirm on TV. Rinse and repeat. Most people don’t like someone that can’t answer a simple question, it will help to focus everyone on their weaknesses for all, to see.

Credit where due: Trump’s right to say that people shouldn’t dance around this question.

That said, Trump was booed, by his own supporters, for encouraging people to get vaccinated/boosted. DeSantis et al. know which side their political bread is buttered on, at least on this issue. Unfortunately for their own supporters, and for the rest of us.

What, did he think they’d fawn over him? Sheesh.

I can’t think of a better example of Trump being Trump than this. He said it in front of his fans and got booed - therefore, everyone must say it and if they don’t they are gutless. Because, you know, if Trump did it it must be the brave thing to do.

May I live long enough to see entire days go by in which nobody mentions Trump. Better - may I just outlive him.

Based on the track records of some of the MSM, Trump didn’t think he’d get a hard time. Thankfully, NPR did the job it’s supposed to do.

Imagine what Trump will do when he’s getting questioned under oath! I’m giddy thinking about it.

He’ll be babbling like an infant.

I truly wonder if Cult45 is going to turn on him if he can’t feed their extremes anymore that have shifted to outright suicidal denial of medical fact. Or are they so hopelessly blind, deaf and dumb that they will still worship his cheap, nasty grifting Orange Ass?

Crying and begging for mercy would be fab.

Actually, that’ll be the kids doing that. Trump will pretend he’s senile.

As the Epic Loser well knows, calling a gooper a gutless coward is like calling water wet. They’ve long been gutless cowards and cannot be shamed. Being a gutless coward is necessary requirement for being a successful gooper.

So, in this insane, but glorious, feud, is T**** a Hatfield or McCoy?

Can MTV bring back “Celebrity Death Match” with Trump and DeSantis? For real, though, not claymation.

Has this come up anywhere yet:

How is it that this is still protected speech? I know it is, but suggesting assassination of one’s opposition being protected just gives me the willies.

Not to mention how the response would be, we’re the roles reversed.

It has to be hard to be a Trump flunky. Somebody like Ron DeSantis can get whiplash trying to toe the Trump line.

The thing we need to remember is DeSantis has presidential aspirations. Trump has to kill those dreams so he has a clear path to 2024.

The headline should be “Trump thinks Deathsantus could best him in a primary”
