Assuming that CNN article quoting anonymous sources is true, you're basically just making the argument that Trump is an incredibly effective leader capable of controlling his party's agenda even when he's not in charge of it, while Biden is such an inept leader that he can't even get things done when he has the highest ranking political position in the Western world.

"Destructive" is probably a more useful characterization than "effective". But I get it.. must always praise dear leader.

I'm just curious.. in your mind, what was the objective of storming the beach at Normandy? What do you think Americans were fighting to preserve?

Trump was the last GOP President and clear winner of the last primary, so of course he is the leader of the party and in charge of it.

Your replies are moving the goalposts.

That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

to my understanding, he wasn't afraid of splitting the vote and was vocal about it as far back as 2022. And apparently the R's that publicly slammed him did not want to call that bluff.

So... maybe?
