Summary

Tim Alberta of The Atlantic reports low morale and mounting frustration within Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, with some staff expressing “resentment” and even “disgust” toward the candidate.

Once optimistic about Trump’s chances, aides are now worried as the campaign appears to be unraveling in its final stretch. Alberta shared that senior staffers feel exhausted by Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior, with one high-ranking insider admitting they partly hope for his defeat.

    Aha. And you still ended up helping him. Shut up.

      “just following orders” all over again.

      There’s only one thing trump has yet to steal from Hitler, and it’s killing the leader of the fascist movement.

      Here’s to hoping 🍻

      Yeah there’s no way they’ve just realised what a piece of shit he is.

      Pretty much on day one of his initial run he was caught on mic talking about sexually assaulting young women.
