"Former President Donald Trump's promised press conference to refute the allegations in the indictment handed up by the Fulton County District Attorney's Office is now very much in doubt, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News." "Sources tell ABC News that Trump's legal advisers have told him that holding such a press conference with dubious claims of voter fraud will only complicate his legal problems and some of his attorneys have advised him to cancel it." "Trump announced the planned press conference with a social media post shortly after he and 18 co-defendants were indicted late Monday in Georgia. He said he would present, "A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia." "Georgia's Republican governor responded to that with his own social media post declaring, "The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen. For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward -- under oath -- and prove anything in a court of law.” "Campaigning in Iowa, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he agreed with Kemp. And so did former Vice President Mike Pence, who said on Wednesday, "The Georgia election was not stolen." www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-s-legal-advisers-urge-him-to-cancel-press-conference-sources/ar-AA1forfa?ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=72bb90dd7d914c2095266c8ef865e98b&ei=7

"COPY CATS. After Gov. Brian Kemp bluntly rejected former President Donald Trump’s election fraud falsehoods on Tuesday, two GOP presidential contenders quickly backed the governor."
"Kemp’s rejoinder came after Trump repeated his lie that the 2020 election was “rigged.” Kemp responded: “The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen.”
"The statement was quickly echoed by former Vice President Mike Pence at the National Conference of State Legislatures meeting in Indianapolis. Pence was equally blunt."
“The Georgia election was not stolen and I had no right to overturn the election on Jan. 6,” he said."
"Ditto former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who amplified Kemp on social media: “This is a strong leader telling the truth. Others should try it.”
"Separately, another presidential hopeful, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who also invoked Kemp this week. DeSantis praised the governor’s “thumping” 2022 reelection win, which happened despite Trump’s vow to defeat him."
""Gov. Brian Kemp’s social media post declaring the 2020 Georgia election legitimate also got the attention of the all-important Wall Street Journal editorial board. The news outlet’s leaders wrote “events have vindicated the Republican Georgia Governor for resisting Donald Trump’s stolen-election claims.”
"Widely read by GOP campaigns and candidates, the board wrote that both Kemp and Georgia’s chief elections official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, did the right thing in 2020. The editorial noted that Kemp and Raffensperger know better than anyone after the 2022 elections what voters are looking for in the future."
“GOP voters may think the indictments against Mr. Trump are partisan. But if they want to lose again in 2024, they’ll dive down Mr. Trump’s 2020 rabbit hole instead of facing Mr. Kemp’s reality,” the editorial read."
Quoted from the AJC.

As deranged as Trump is, the time has come for those sychophants that enabled him to pay the piper.
John Cardillo, a former pro-Trump pundit who is now backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, claimed on X, formerly Twitter, that "very solid sources" informed him that Trump's PAC that helps cover his allies' legal bills won't assist Ellis "with one penny because she has been complimentary and supportive of DeSantis."
Rudy Giuliani traveled to Mar-a-Lago earlier this year to plead with former President Donald Trump to pay his mounting legal bills, CNN reported Wednesday.
Giuliani, a former lawyer for Trump, and his own attorney Robert Costello, met Trump at his home twice in late April to “discuss Giuliani’s seven-figure legal fees, making several pitches about how paying Giuliani’s bills was ultimately in Trump’s best interest,” the news network wrote, citing a source “familiar with the matter.”

Everything Trump touches dies.
Some sooner than later -- but generally when they have outgrown their transactional value and/or slipped from his hampster-sized attention span.
He has never been and will never be a real leader of men. He's a conman and carnival barker out only for himself, bigly.
Jenna Ellis, another indicted traitor, is yet the latest example.

Alas, the pull of (faux) populism in a country whose middle and lower class gets shit on for a generation or two is strong.
As anyone who knows history will attest to -- we know how that story ends.
We need a leader that unites us towards common goals rather than divides us seeking partisan power at the expense of the country and its citizens -- and this last part goes for both parties.
Pragmatism and compromise instead of corporatism in disguise as partisanship

Hopefully we can get back to the how things were when Trump was President. The anti-Trumpers are anti-Americans . It's clear the anti-Trumpers don't have a better candidate and have nothing positive to say about their current guy or any thing good to say about his policies. Real Americans vote for what is best for this Country .

And anti-trumpers aren't anti-american, they just don't agree with your chosen candidate and his divisive rhetoric, lack of leadership, and just generally being a piece of shit.
