From the storming the capitol and after some elections legislative in which voter rejection of the most extreme candidates weighed on the overall Republican results, donald trump he had begun to look vulnerable, his iron grip on the Republican Party weakened. Always cautious so as not to alienate the bases most loyal to the former president, for the first time in five years they began to suggest that he step aside, there was talk of the need to generational relief (Trump is 76 years old), he dared to challenge him in the candidacy with which he seeks his third presidential nomination or, in the case of media such as Fox News or the ‘New York Post’, to ignore him and even ridicule him.
now and though It may just be a temporary miragethe historic imputation of the former president and candidate has made practically the entire political and media army close ranks again and move around him. and there are some silences prominent, such as that of the two main Republicans in the Senate. There are some reaction statements tibiaslike the Ivanka Trump saying only “my father hurts and my country hurts me & rdquor ;. And there is even some isolated voice who calls him adquit the race to avoid being “a huge distraction” (Words spoken by former Arkansas governor and potential nominee Asa Hutchinson). But Trump shows up again and for the moment as the undisputed leader of the party and the voice whose message has the most echo.
Trump has spent three weeks now, since information began to appear that brought the possibility of imputation closer, exploiting it to fill their chests and solidify their base of primaries. He has once again managed to get his followers to internalize the message that what they are his own legal problems supposedly represent a persecution of all they, that “they don’t come for me, they’re going for you, I’m just in their way& rdquor; which is the description that appears under his name on the Truth Social social network. And in March his endorsement in polls It has been shot (11 points in one of Fox, eight in another from Monmouth) while that of the man seen as his greatest rival, the governor of Florida Ron DeSantis, was stagnating.
Anger at Bragg
No one has put more in his target Trump to attack his impeachment than the district attorney of Manhattan, the Democrat Alvin Bragg. And it has been Bragg on whom he has unloaded all his gonna the chorus of Republicans who, since Thursday, have echoed the accusations of “witch hunt & rdquor ;, “political persecution & rdquor; or “use as a weapon of justice”. And they are concepts that have been used, for example, by DeSantis, the former vice president Mike Pence and former UN ambassador and candidate Nikki Haley.
“He has made a irreparable damage to the country in a attempt to interfere in the elections & rdquor;he said, replicating another of Trump’s central messages Kevin McCarhty, the most powerful Republican in the country. And he also promised that “the House of Representatives will hold him accountable & rdquor ;, something that three Republicans who chair committees are trying to do (to which Bragg’s office has given a forceful response this Friday accusing them of “collaborating with Trump in vilify and denigrate the integrity of elected state prosecutors and judges).
The imputation has also served Trump to repair in different degrees the relationship that had been clouded with the Rupert Murdoch media. And since Thursday night there has been no louder speaker for their slogans than the shows of Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and, especially, Tucker Carlson.
“This is not a good time to deliver the AR15s& rdquor ;, said the powerful Carlson in a reference to the assault rifles. And it is now from his mouth, or from the keyboard of the radical congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene (who has announced that he will be in New York on Tuesday in a message in which he added “WE MUST protest & rdquor;), where the calls to mobilize, not only politically, for Trump.
