Since it’s probably still illegal to shove Donald Trump out to sea on an ice floe—and he somehow keeps finding his way home after Melania drops him off to live with Chuck Grassley’s barn cats—conservatives have settled on a brazen new strategy to nudge him off the stage: they’re using their words.
First, Rupert Murdoch, who appears to have been forged in the crucible of hell out of raw turpitude and Steak-umms, tossed Trump’s amoral arse under the bus. Shortly after Trump’s low-energy Puppet Show and Campaign Launch, Murdoch’s New York Post dismissed Trump’s comeback as so much insurrectionist piffle. And Murdoch himself has reportedly told Trump point-blank that he won’t support his 2024 run.
Meanwhile, after Trump sent suburban voters running screaming into the arms of Democrats during a midterm cycle whose fundamentals strongly favored the GOP, conservatives appear to be sticking their craven necks out even further. Even Ivanka, who’s spent more time on Trump’s lap than jumbo tubs full of cheesy fries, has decided she’s had enough of the Trump circus—one insurrection, one Nazi sit-down dinner, and countless stolen top secret documents later, of course.
Well, now the hardcore conservative Washington Times is getting in on the act. In a new commentary, columnist Joseph Curl declared “enough already” when it comes to Trump’s sad-sack dog and pony show.

Citing polling that shows Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis—who’s just as dedicated to insensate evil as Trump but somewhat less likely to tip his hand—now pulling ahead of Trump, Curl noted that most Republicans are ready to move on. Indeed, a USA Today poll released on Tuesday shows DeSantis with a gaudy 23-point lead over Trump among likely Republican primary voters.
Joseph Curl in The Washington Times:
Even worse for Trump’s sugar-glass ego was this quote from Griffin: “I’d like to think that the Republican Party is ready to move on from somebody who has been for this party a three-time loser.”
Oh, he’s lost way more than three times, Ken. But, yeah, that’s basically right if you’re limiting yourself to singular political non-achievements.
We may actually be nearing Donald Trump’s last days as a political force, which would allow so many of us to finally breathe easy. And, of course, once he is fully out of our lives, we’ll, at last, be able to look back on this and laugh:

Joseph Curl in The Washington Times:
Since he entered the race, Mr. Trump has acted like a candidate who really does not want the job (think former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani). Mr. Trump dined with the rapper Ye, formerly Kanye West — who later went on a lengthy antisemitic rant — and White supremacist Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago. He called for the suspension of the Constitution. And he lost several legal maneuvers over his possession of allegedly classified documents.
Mr. Trump’s star has been falling ever since his hand-picked candidates in swing states lost in the midterms — just two of his 14 candidates won. And now his major donors in 2016 are running away — that’s a huge problem for a self-declared billionaire who doesn’t like to spend his own money.
“Hedge fund manager Ken Griffin, the second-most prolific GOP donor of the midterms, said Tuesday that he would support Mr. DeSantis over Mr. Trump, pointing to the Florida governor’s dominant reelection victory in a state that was considered competitive until recently,” The Hill reported last week.
Even worse for Trump’s sugar-glass ego was this quote from Griffin: “I’d like to think that the Republican Party is ready to move on from somebody who has been for this party a three-time loser.”
Oh, he’s lost way more than three times, Ken. But, yeah, that’s basically right if you’re limiting yourself to singular political non-achievements.
