Ex-Trump friend: MAGA Republicans 'don’t care' that he 'can’t win'



Donny Deutsch, a former friend of ex-President Donald Trump, explained during an appearance on Wednesday's edition of Deadline White House that the biggest challenge facing President Joe Biden's reelection campaign is how to dissuade Trump-loyal Republicans that they should not vote for him in 2024.

Although MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace pointed out that GOP moderates "may be doing some good for Joe Biden" by being in the "middle," Deutch believes that those constituents are too few in number to make a difference.

"Yeah. We're, we're not gonna know. This is interesting as a former ad guy, and I say to myself, 'What would I do as an anti-Trump ad?'" Deutsch retorted. "And the obvious place you go — because you can't just dump on Trump — it's at this point it should..."

Wallace jokingly interjected. "If it worked he'd be gone!"

Deutsch agreed, adding that there has been "eight years of it and we could do a twenty-four-hour special on it."

Deutsch said that while Biden's principal message should be that Trump "can't win," he is "convinced that there are such a large percentage of Trump voters that they don't even care. Voting for him is an emotional self-fulfilling mission that I don't know if that left-brain intelligent argument gets even through to the point where they'll go, 'Well, even I don't care, or yes, he can win.' But it's that only place to go as an advertiser, which, you know, he can't win. And look at this. And 'anybody with Biden' emotionally doesn't hit the nerve. They still wanna vote for this guy. It's in their cords, in their gut. It's a big 'screw you to the world, and you're not taking that away from me and that, I'm pounding my chest.'"

How misinformation could shape the Israel-Hamas war

Image
I wanted to interview Nicholas Grossman regarding the role of misinformation in the war between Israel and Hamas. In particular, I hoped to ask the professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, and senior editor of Arc Digital , about misinformation that arose from American reporting on an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. You know what? I ended up repeating a bit of misinformation! I asked him to lay out the facts about a blast that “killed hundreds, including kids,” and he said nuh-uh (not his words). In fact, Professor Grossman said, “there never were hundreds killed by an explosion at that hospital. Media reported that the hospital was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike killing 500, but that was based on something a Hamas-controlled agency said and was never supported by evidence.” Professor Grossman went on to say “what apparently did happen is something hit a nearby parking lot and caused a smaller explosion, most likely a rocket fired from Gaza towards I

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5

'It is his aphrodisiac': Ex-RNC chair explains how gag order 'stimulates' Trump and his base

Image
As President Donald Trump faces gag orders in two separate cases — one from Judge Arthur Engoron presiding over his New York civil fraud trial, and the other from Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will preside of his Washington, DC January 6 trial in March — some experts expect him to violate the orders soon. With a history of threatening and verbally attacking others, MSNBC's Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday pointed to the fact the ex-president's rhetoric influenced January 6 rioters who chanted, "Hang Mike Pence!" Noting Trump "gets deeply stimulated and excited by the violence," Wallace asked analyst and ex-Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele what he thinks the MAGA hopeful's "calculation is on whether violating these gag orders lands him in jail is a good thing or bad thing for him." POLL : Should Trump be allowed to hold office again? Steele replied, "You put your finger on two very important words t
