    And , the polling shows that his grip on the party is waning.

    Trump's standing among Republicans continues to weaken. A recent NBC poll shows a significant decline in his hold on the GOP. While previous surveys showed that up to 54% of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters say they self-identified as supporters of Trump rather than the Republican Party, the new survey shows that 56% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents consider themselves supporters of the GOP. Only 36% consider themselves supporters of the former President -- a significant marker of Trump fatigue.

    The Trump Wing has declined from ~54% of GOP voters saying that they were "Trump First , GOP 2nd" to a current figure of 36% , which is a huge drop.

    Still incredibly influential , but fading fast.

    Also - More and more of the GOP are willing to support people that Trump has snubbed or even outright attacked

    House, no. Senate, probably not. That’s been the pattern for decades. Whoever hold the whitehouse loses big at the mid terms.

    TWO endorsements have backfired: Donny's having a bad day. He must PRAY that things go better in MAY.

    Obviously mentally ill to have swallowed such nonsense but you have to admire the details, living on barges!

    I'm not sure if the idea of living in barges off Gitmo is supposed to be better or worse than being in Gitmo...

    It’s a new spin on things though compared the classics from this lot.

    some of the language used in the text messages is nuts though. The fight is “between good and evil” according to mark meadows and he uses a term that is used to mean god. These people think it’s a religious fight ffs.

    Herschel Walker says he’s sick and tired of “CTR” being taught in schools


    America, you okay?

    Sounds like a stand up guy. History of threatening his wife, lying to get loans and inflating his wealth. No wonder he's pals with Donnie.

    He is continuing to grift for money what a shock. I honestly think he has zero chance of being republican candidate again but they will all want his endorsement no doubt.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,331 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    A tiny and unenthusiastic crowd. Even his supporters are getting sick of listening to the same shïte over and over again.

    Eastman ordered to hand over emails

    Trump's conspiracy "was a coup in search of a legal theory," says a federal judge.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,950 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    A Federal judge has ruled the Trump "more likely than not" committed a felony in attempting to obstruct Congress certifying the election results. Ordered 100 emails from Trump's lawyer to be released to the House Committee. Obviously likely to be appealed.

    “A coup in search of a legal precedent.”


    How fitting to describe the false electors scam etc. - they looked back to a time before the electoral count act, to send multiple electors, but in doing so committed fraud, and broke existing electoral law. At least, that’s the information the public appears to have got. Historic examples of dual electors were not for malicious purposes, eg. Hawaii sent a 2nd slate one year not to game the election but to ensure it was accurate.

    Trump releases new statement discussing his hole in one. I have no words at this point. The man and anyone advising him can't have any grip on reality any more.



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 16,910 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quin_Dub


    It just further confirms if it were necessary how utterly insecure and narcissistic the man is.

    He gets a hole-in-one and a few people post "You did, yeah..." or the equivalent on Twitter and his ego and rabid insecurity make him post this absolute embarrassment of a press release.

    He is a pathetic child.

    It is simply outside the realms of reality that this utter idiot will be voted in for another term.


    And on a separate point, the fact that none of his "supporters" come on this thread anymore to defend him, or when they do they are entirely selective about what they discuss, means that they know it too.

    He was lightening in a bottle in 2016 and it cannot be replicated.

    He was an utter and literal joke of a president, whose only use going forward will be as a benchmark by which other **** presidents will referred to when discussing who was the worst in american presidential history.

    'Cheat in golf, cheat in life' as my dad used to say



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,950 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    He very likely did get a hole-in-one. Quick Google shows that less than 210 yards is a Par 3, and he says his drive was 181 yards. Par 3 normally means your drive should land on the green. After that it's mostly just down to luck.

    Given how often he plays golf, the odds eventually getting a hole-in-one aren't that huge, regardless of who he's playing with or how magnificent the wind is. There's a reason he's bragging about this hole-in-one; it's because it very rarely happens. Again, given how often he plays golf, and the fact he never mentioned any hole-in-ones during his Presidency (to my recollection), it's a rare occasion for him. Not a sign of any skill, but just luck.

    I know a few local golfers (have family and some friends who play golf). Most have gotten at least one hole-in-one. My father got one about 2 months ago. Most people here wouldn't know about it though, because they didn't issue press releases about it.

    Edit: Again, from Google

    So, without further ado, the odds of an amateur golfer making a hole in one on a par 3 hole are roughly 12,500 to 1. Furthermore, the odds of a professional golfer making a hole in one on a par 3 hole are closer to 2,500 to 1.

    Trump is supposedly a decent enough golfer (again, not surprising given how often he plays, plus this happened on his own course). The odds of him getting a hole-in-one aren't in any way spectacular enough to be in any way impressive.

    "There's a lot of chatter about it"


    Oh yeah, I was in the pub last night and talk was of little else.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 603 ✭✭✭Stanley 1


    Cost him a lot more for his hole in one with Stormy.

    Ernie Els should really reconsider who he plays golf with.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,282 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    nothing to do with questioning him getting one.

    all to do with how he reacts to it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,950 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    I agree. I was mostly responding to the "cheat in golf, cheat in life" quote, but also just trying to point out that even outside of him bragging about his achievement.... it's not that big of an achievement. It's rare of course, but it's really not a sign or measure of any skill.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,383 ✭✭✭Billy Mays


    Took him 3 shots to chip it on to the green on his own course in Doonbeg




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,482 ✭✭✭TheIrishGrover


    No, his klan are off raising threads here about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's mental health and "I'm back" threads. Following in their idol's footsteps. "Screw you guys, I'm going to make my own thread. With hookers... and blackjack". "You can't keep me down. I do what I want and you can't handle me" type idiots. Debate is impossible with them as they do not engage, simply deflect.

    I actually wonder what they really think. Is it a case of they have backed their horse, internally they are face-palming and thinking "Oh God, trump, stop throwing gasoline on the fire" but are simply too prideful to admit that MAYBE he is not a stable genius? Or do they genuinely, in their heart-of-hearts agree with him on his policies. Do they GENUINELY believe the election was stolen? Do they GENUINELY agree that the terrorists who attacked Captiol building were right and simply engaging in debate? In short, do they GENUINELY believe he has had a positive impact on the US and the world in general?

    We will never know because they will never answer.

    But hey, he got a hole in one. So, y'know, that makes up for his hatred of everything that is not him.

    All those years and years of playing golf and he is still in the shadow of little rocket man's daddy 😉

    I mean his 1st time playing the game and he got at least 5 holes in 1 and set a world record. Trump has playing for 50yrs + and gets excited about 1! Pffft!
