I think it's retribution by Donald for Ivanka giving him the cold shoulder since their breakup after parting ways in 2021. Mary Trump says Donald is transactional. Ivanka doesn't give Donald much face time or praise in the press. She didn't attend his "great announcement" when he said he was running for prez last year. She doesn't appear at Mar a Lago. So, he snubs her or his grandson in public. That's who he is.
Seems that Mary Trump made the right decision. Unlike Don jr and Eric, Ivanka doesn't need Donald or his money. This would be the end ifIvanka has any self respect left. Don't know if she does, so, we'll see.

"Trump smells like shit. lulz
Carville rocks. The man says what he's going to do and then does it. Carville is on the outs with Biden because he pleaded with Joe to step down after one term because Carville thought somebody younger should run. Maybe he's right, we'll find out. But that won't stop Carville from doing what he can to stop Trump.
The audio version is what I prefer but Carville says same in this vid that starts at the "mock him" diatribe.
the vid was recorded during Mardi Gras at their homes which explains the kooky head gear that Tim Miller is wearing. Also Tim is that way, looks straight but is not.
"What's called for here is a really stupid and futile gesture"
"And we are the guys to do it".

“It's going to be the biggest thing ever, and we are going to save this country!" he said on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast over the weekend.
By Thursday, he’d upgraded his promise to one of global import.
“It’s going to shock the world,” he told Steve Bannon on his War Room podcast, adding that people should buy his percale sheets to pass out to their friends along with the Supreme Court appeal. ("Get ‘em for everybody you know. Tell them about the Supreme Court case and here’s a set of sheets for you.”)
My Pillow CEO: Here's the Supreme court appeal and ... sheets?
Strange, after reading the 52-page appeal — sans sheets — I didn’t feel a shock. Not even a slight zap.
Neither, apparently, did Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer.
“Nothing new,” he told me on Friday. “Same old crazy. Zero percent chance the United States Supreme Court decides to spend its very limited time on something so crazy that it got sanctioned to the tune of $100,000-plus at the trial court level.”

The main point of the story is not the real interesting thing. What is interesting is the purge of 60 people, RINO's, all of them. Now the Party Of Trump.
New RNC chair accidentally says America is better off now than under Trump
Newly elected Chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) Michael Whatley accidentally said America is better off now than under former President Trump, during a Fox News appearance Friday.
Whatley attempted to argue that the country is worse off under President Biden’s leadership than it was four years ago with Trump in office, and that the country would improve if the former president were reelected, but he mixed up his words on air.
“At the end of the day, this comes down to a very simple contrast between President Trump and President Biden,” Whatley said. “Were you better off four years ago than you are today? The answer for this entire country is no. I mean, yes.”
“We are better off today, or, we will be better off under President Trump than we will under President Biden,” he stumbled.
Whatley took over the leadership position last week. Since then, he has instigated a major reset for the party.
More than 60 people have been fired in recent days, including senior staff. Trump clinched the party’s nomination for the general election, and the layoffs signal that change is coming to the party as it gears up to take on President Biden in the fall.
Whatley justified the layoffs as the party “realigning the committee to make sure that we are focused on coming out of the primary.”
“We now have a presumptive nominee and it is absolutely essential for us to make sure that our programs and our campaign efforts are aligned with the president’s,” he said.
A major question moving forward is if the RNC will fund Trump’s spiraling legal bills; the former president has been ordered to pay more than $500 million in fines. He faces 91 felony charges across four indictments.
Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law, was elected co-chair of the RNC alongside Whatley. In the past, she said she would spend “every single penny” of the RNC’s funds to help her father-in-law win reelection.

Reaction to Trump’s speech: When is ‘a bloodbath’ not a bloodbath?
Defenders of the former president say he was speaking about the plight of the auto industry.
Rep. Mike Turner said Sunday it was clear that former President Donald Trump’s reference to “a bloodbath” should he lose the November election pertained to the auto industry, not to a surge of political violence.
At a rally in Ohio on Saturday, Trump said, “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath. That’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”
This link provides a snapshot of his "bloodbath" statement and then goes back to show it in context. But, no, he wasn't speaking about the auto industry when he said it, he just can't stop himself from saying whatever is in his head at the moment. The guy really does intend violence. He's does not intend to go to prison quietly.
"the auto industry blah blah, China, and, If I lose it's going to be a blood bath democracy is going to end"
Yeah, well, he tried to start a bloodbath and end democracy in 2020. So, absolutely it's believable that he'll do the same in the fall when he loses.

Assuming it hasn't happened already, statements like that from Christio-Fascist politicians are going to put the Republican Party on the FBI's terrorist watch list .

I think that this is the bait. What he said about 'if we lose it is the last election' is the real story IMO. It is setting him up to pull the Pee-Wee Herman troll, by trying to callous up his supporters to blowing off the truth of what his plans are.
I was going to try to find it and start this video at that point, but I just don't want to listen to his stupid babbling atm. I made it about 5 minutes in and started skipping through it and he just is such a whinny bitch it is hard to listen to. He was falling apart about his teleprompters a lot though lol.
lol half the stuff in this clip is him whining about them and saying to not pay the people who set it up. What a jerk.

Former President Donald Trump can’t find an insurance company to underwrite his bond to cover the massive judgment against him in the New York attorney general’s civil fraud case, his lawyers told a New York appeals court.
Trump’s attorneys said he has approached 30 underwriters to back the bond, which is due by the end of this month.
“The amount of the judgment, with interest, exceeds $464 million, and very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude,” Trump’s lawyers wrote. (Trump himself was fined $454 million; the $464 million includes the disgorgement for his adult sons Don Jr. and Eric.)
An insurance broker, Gary Giuletti, who testified for Trump during the civil fraud trial, signed an affidavit stating that securing a bond in the full amount “is a practical impossibility.”
Potential underwriters are seeking cash to back the bond, not properties, according to Trump’s lawyers.
Trump’s lawyers have asked the appeals court to delay posting the bond until his appeal of the case is over, arguing that the value of Trump’s properties far exceed the judgment.
