Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Wednesday morning, and mused out loud about a possible new name for the majority of the Republican Party that remains loyal to him.
"There is a new word for a TRUMP REPUBLICAN, which is almost everyone (GREAT POLICY IS THE KEY!)" wrote Trump. "It is, TEPUBLICAN??? Or, TPUBLICAN???"
Trump did not elaborate further on this, or whether he came up with the term or simply saw it somewhere else.

(21,176 posts)1). Thoroughly dominate their victim, and
2). Thoroughly humiliate them in the process.
So because Trump is a rapist at heard (and in practice), he has to communicate total ownership of any Republican who "serves" him. He has to crow about the fact that the Republican did what they did because HE ORDERED THEM TO DO SO.
He has to trot out his victims for the cameras and proclaim "I OWN THEM NOW."

(21,176 posts)I mean, I DO UNDERSTAND that people PAY FOR things like Kid Rock tickets, and that alone entitles him to wear the mantle of "entertainer," even though i don't see him as "entertaining."
And, it's the same for Trump. He CREATED an aura of "MASTER SHOWMAN," and I've never seen him as anything more than a boorish pig.
Saw an article yesterday. Didn't think it warranted posting here, but it said that in term 2, Trump has reduced his schedule overall by 39%.
It also said that while he'd show up for work around noon in term 1, now he shows up "mid-afternoon."
That's because he's working on his ballroom, playing golf, watching TV, and coming up with nicknames for people.
In lieu of the job he was elected to do.
