At this point, I think he's just banking on the fact that his supporters are incredibly stupid.
He is, and they are.
But they're also conspiracy theorists, and trump controls all aspects of the government.
There's no "deep state" left to blame, and they love hating the establishment more than they love trump or anyone else.
He's not going to get them to stop caring about this. And he's not going to react well to them not doing what he wants
You've just laid out the one beacon of hope in all this
How did this take 8+ fucking years?
Did we mention his supporters are unbelievably stupid?
They want someone to 'drain the swamp' of corruption: they choose the guy who worked a lot with the mob in New York, and showers dictators with praise, while breaking the Constitution's emoluments clause and repeatedly committing open corruption.
They want someone to get to the bottom of the child abuse scandal surrounding Epstein: they choose his literal best friend who has been credibly accused of rape by multiple parties.
They want a Christian to lead the country to rebuild on the faith: they choose a three time adulterer who cheated on his current wife with a porn star and made payments to keep her quiet.
This is just the tip of the iceberg and it's all public knowledge.
They are dumb as rocks.
Conservatives don't let anything go.
This trait is about to backfire brilliantly.
They have no problem being inconsistent.
They're convinced Democrats were drinking the blood of babies but have ignored Trump's Epstein friendship, his comments about young girls and his own daughter, as well as a recording of him bragging about sexually assaulting women since the first election. They have no problem dismissing things that would otherwise confirm a Democrat would have been better.
If you're going to rely on conspiracy theorists seeking to expose deep state pedophiles to sweep you into power, don't be a deep state pedophile. You'd think this should be obvious, but apparently not.
It's actually the opposite, that's an incredibly common and unfortunately effective strategy.

I think its more about fox media and other republicans wanting Trump to fail, as they will need to emigrate if Trumpet stays in
I doubt Trampers care
That's the neat thing, though, since the "deep state" doesn't actually exist, it can be whatever you need it to be. Control all the government? The "deep state" is a secret unelected shadow government of liberal activist judges, state and city communist-socialists, and paid George Soros false flag BLM DEI protest rioters.
I took a gander over at the bad place r.conservative and they were surprisingly intelligent about it. Well, most of them were.
This is exactly it. The owner class thinks everyone below them is dumb as fucking rocks. They think they're the smart ones for extracting value from people, even if they're not terribly good at actually doing things like making money or doing business or anything like that.
Yup they've been huffing that "meritocracy" paint thinner for too long, a term which used to be sarcastic but everyone seems to have forgotten that part...
They are right. For example, November 2024.
Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt. Flood the zone.
I'm honestly surprised he seemed to forget his strategy that got him this far for a second. It's like an advisor had to sit him down and go, "Donald...just lie".
they are, they switched the moment he wanted to talk something else, a little propaganda helps.
Well.............
Morons And Genuine Assholes.
He might be testing if his cult would eat the lie or not.
