'A diminished figure': Columnist says Trump is weakened by loyalists flipping

All of the erstwhile allies of former President Donald Trump cutting deals with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in the Georgia election racketeering case is a sign of the former president's power shrinking from what it once was, wrote Moira Donegan for The Guardian on Friday.
This comes after attorneys Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, and Jenna Ellis, who all played roles in the scheme to overturn the 2020 election, pleaded guilty — sometimes throwing other members of Trump's inner circle under the bus in the process.
"The dominoes began to fall," wrote Donegan. "Willis’s generous terms to the cooperating witnesses – along with the growing number of testimonies that are now lined up on the prosecution’s side – seem to have incentivized other co-defendants in the Georgia case to flip."
"How does Trump feel, watching all of these former loyalists agree to testify against him?" wrote Donegan. "Trump stands now a diminished figure, still ominous and still very much capable of winning a presidential election, but increasingly isolated. On the one hand, his various criminal and civil cases are distracting him from the campaign trail, and he seems doomed to lose many of them; on the other hand, his grip on the Republican presidential nomination is so firm that his challengers increasingly look silly for running against him, and he seems to have retained at least some degree of kingmaking power in the House, where this week he was able to instantly sabotage the short-lived speakership candidacy of the Minnesota congressman Tom Emmer."
All of this, she continued, added up to a moment at Trump's civil fraud trial, in which, when a reporter asked the former president about Ellis' guilty plea, he responded, “Don’t know anything, we’re totally innocent of everything.”

It’s extremely sad that liberals have nothing better to post about except slamming Trump for some BS witch hunts when their terrorist buddies Hamas have slaughtered over 1,400 innocent civilians in Israel to include Americans. They can’t even post anything about the millions of illegals Biden has personally allowed to invade our country to include Iranian terrorist. They could be posting about real crimes being committed by the Biden crime family’s dealings with Russians, Ukrainians and Iranians. How about the economy that Biden has personally destroyed to include destroying our entire energy sector. Oh and how about the billions he’s allowing Iran to make off selling oil behind our backs and the 6 billion dollars he just released to Iran to fund all Irans terrorist proxies that are currently killing American citizens, holding them hostage and attacking our bases in Iraq and Syria. Oh or how about their truck loads of bullshit so called humanitarian supply they’re currently sending “directly” to their terrorist buddies Hamas while secretly pressuring Israel to delay or stop their ground attack to kill all those worthless bastards that are slaughtering babies, raping women, murdering Americans and kidnapping and then using all those innocent hostages as human shields or bargaining chips to get what ever they want because they know Biden will give them any and everything because he’s weak. Its really disgusting to know that Biden’s giving these terrorist and Iran everything they need to destroy Israel while he’s at the same time secretly slamming Israel behind closed and I pray the Israeli’s tells him to go screw himself and don’t stop but instead speed up until they’ve killed every damn last one of those pos terrorist so this crap will finally come to a stop so the Israelis can once in far all time live in their country without having to worry about being blown up, slaughter, raped or beheaded. But hey, the liberals have no problem with Hamas, Iran, Russia or China because they feel there’s nothing there. They are more concerned about slamming Trump on some BS charges from a racist Georgia hag prosecutor that said if elected her number one job was to get Trump, or a bias self admitted Trump hating judge that is disqualified to judge Trump fairly because of his own hate for Trump and lastly a corrupt racist Trump hating NY DA thats also charging Trump for some BS. No liberals or more worried about Trump because they HATE him. I would be more worried about braindead Biden possibly getting us into World War III because of his incompetence and his love for terrorist and countries that shout death to America, death to Israel and their now trying to actually carry it out because Biden and his liberal pals are a bunch of weak,,woke Americans last hypocrites.

MSG Stan Hutchison I guess I missed something about drinking all the kool aid, no I drink kool aid so apparently you’ve been drinking all the kool aid. No, i find it extremely sad when people have nothing better to do than attack one man because they don’t agree with him because their master had told them “orange man bad “ just because their politics force them to choose terrorist over our country. If these people can’t see there’s more pressing issues in the world than wasting more money and time beating on a dead horse and believe me the Trump horse is dead. If bashing Trump hasn’t worked in eight years hasn’t netted a single thing it’s time to move on becsuse this country needs to heal. Also, I could give the least crap about these clumsy ill founded investigations into Trumps real estate valuations or that he ask to make sure there weren’t any more votes left out there uncounted. That is a joke and we know and have all seen other politicians do the exact same crap and especially their boy Biden. I’m simply saying all this wasted time chasing Trump is ridiculous and it’s destroying US and if someone’s going to continue slamming him here on this site about some BS charges when the worlds coming falling apart in front of our eyes and this administration is actually supporting the very ones that attacked Israel and hate us too, Iran, Hamas and the poor Palestinians and throw Russian and China into that group because they also have never snd will never accept Israel’s right to exist. Stan your also wrong, assuming I’m a diehard Trump supporter, well I’m not,,I’m an American that can clearly see the liberals in this country are destroying what I thought we all swore to up hold and defend. I don’t support any one MAN, I support who’s every policies are best for our country and also the one that I feel can better lead our country by putting our country first, securing our borders, making us energy independent, making us respected around the world and by our enemies because of the sacrifices of people like you, I and the millions of others who have gave our all defending it just to see and hear these clowns wasting mine and your hard earned money, our time and our sacrifices chasing one man while ignoring what the other idiot is currently doing that has gotten us Into this mess we currently find ourselves in. So please Stan, I have accused you of drinking any kool aid or kissing their ring, so please don’t go there with me, I’m just tired of coming on here reading the same old tired, wore out Donald Trump BS simply because they hate the guy, especially when their guy is ten times worse and they’re to liberal to admit he’s really screwing s):t up on a grand scale. So Stan if you think I drank some kool aid, your mistaken but I’m not sitting by silently on the sideline while this current incompetent, senile old man that can’t even speak a full coherent sentence, shake hands with ghost, walk off the stage while a foreigner leader is respectfully speaking and lying about his own sons corrupt shady business dealings, destroying our energy independence and has turned our military into a force of weak, woke, SJW wimps instead of being the elite fighting warriors we know them to be. So no m, I’m pissed at what’s going on in this country that you and I fought to defend and I’m also tired of seeing us as an weak and broke country kissing the as$$:; of terrorist instead of killing them. No Stan I hate kool aid and I damn sure don’t love Trump, I love my mother, my wife, my family, my country, my constitution and the proud young men and women of all branches of Service that believe this country is still worth fighting for. Stan I do not have anything personally against you, I just don’t like hypocrites that post trash with the intentions of trying to get under someone’s skin because they themselves are miserable and you and I both know misery loves company. If I had a choice between Biden or Trump of course I’d pick Trump because he’s proven he loves this country and always puts it first. Semper Fi and I thank you for your honorable service.

MGySgt Samuel Steen - I apologize for my previous post but the manner in which you tied all those various issues into one big bundle and laid that entire bundle at the feet of liberals amazed me. Much of what you posted or implied is almost verbatim from many of Trump's messages.
And, no, I do not think Trump is dead politically. That scares the hell out of me. He has posted many times that he will seek revenge if he gets back into the White House. He has posted many times he is not required to support our constitution. He has posted many times his disdain for our fallen brothers and sisters in our military. He idolizes dictators. He is a self absorbed narcissistic conman that belongs behind bars. He is a criminal. He violated a long list of Federal Laws.
No person is above the law!
Have a nice day, I am out of here.
