President Donald Trump has massive sway among Republican voters. Unfortunately, his sway within Republican leadership has fallen since the 2020 election was stolen from him. That’s the only possible reason I can think of for why he refuses to either call on RNC Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel to step down or to throw his support behind either of the two contenders, both of whom are unambiguous allies.
McDaniel is not Trump’s ally. She has repeatedly blamed the lack of a 2022 “red tsunami” on “poor candidates,” and while she has not directly attached Trump’s name to the candidates that he supported who lost, the insinuation is crystal clear.
One can argue that she, more than anyone else in the party, is responsible for three consecutive losing campaign seasons, including the one in which Trump had his victory stolen. So why won’t he denounce her? Why won’t he engage in one of his famous attacks against her? Is he scared that if he goes after her and she wins, that he will lose credibility? Yes, but it seems to be bigger than that. It appears that whoever is advising him has made him believe that he needs the RNC in order to win the GOP nomination in 2024. This isn’t true, but he’s playing nice nonetheless.
When given the opportunity to side with Harmeet Dhillon or Mike Lindell over McDaniel, Trump remained uncharacteristically neutral. According to Breitbart:
“Harmeet is a lawyer for me you know,” Trump said when asked about the two candidates. “Harmeet is my lawyer.”
When asked whether that means he favors her or McDaniel—the current chair whom Trump selected after his 2016 White House victory and backed again in her subsequent reelection as chair—he declined to pick a specific candidate.

“I think they’re both good,” Trump said. “I like them both. It’s like when I asked Queen Elizabeth when we were together: ‘Which president did you like the best?’ She said: ‘I liked them all.’ ‘Which one did you like the best?’ ‘I liked them all. They’re all great.’ I said, ‘But didn’t you like Ronald Reagan the best?’ She said: ‘No I liked them all. I liked Ronald Reagan very much, but I liked them all.’ Then I said: ‘Which prime minister did you like the best? Was it Winston Churchill?’ ‘I like them all. I like every one.’ Then I realized how smart she was. I said, you know that’s why she stayed there for 75 years.’”
Dhillon has worked for him directly. Lindell has been the most unabashed and consistent corporate supporter throughout Trump’s presidency and beyond. Romney has done nothing but lose since taking the helm in 2017, during which time she squandered two slam dunk elections to voter fraud and fecklessness. This is a no-brainer. He needs to help give her the boot. He doesn’t have to support Dhillon or Lindell necessarily but coming out against McDaniel would be a powerful move.
Instead, we get the weakness of neutrality in the most important decision for the Republican Party from now until the primaries begin. That’s not okay. Support for McDaniel is waning. Trump could hammer the nail into the coffin by making a bold statement that she has failed miserably for three terms and does not deserve a fourth. It could be enough to finally remove the RINO. Even if it isn’t enough and she wins anyway, denouncing her now would allow him enough time to “play nice” and mend the fence before the primaries if he chose to do so (though I would hope he wouldn’t).
The RNC could be an important piece of the election puzzle in 2024. It has been absent in the last three elections, doing nothing that has been effective and some things that have been counterproductive. Trump needs to get off the fence on this one.
What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
Trump needs to get out of the way. He is ego driven and he is stupid. Trump stupid? Yes: Ivanka, Kushner, Sessions, Wray, Barr, Bolton, Mathis, Kelly, McMasters, Milley, Rudy, the CIA directors, Tillerson, McDaniel all three SC appointees, none come close to Scalia, Thomas, or Alito. All three voted against the TX 2020 election lawsuit support by 18-20 other State AGs. Kavanaugh and Barrett are far closer to Kennedy than to Scalia. His WH staff, with few exceptions, and his WH lawyers. All the good he did, and it was a lot, was undone with the first few hours, days and vanished, pretty much totally, within the first six months. He set up the steal of the election and the normalization of election theft by appointments including the head of the RNC. He is a stupid man who never takes responsibility for things going wrong because of him. He has poor character and seems, beyond doubt, that he incapable of learning. His horrible appointments started immediately and continued during all his time in office, and when problems were clear, like Wray and Barr, he refused to fired them and find honest people for these critical position, and ultimately they betrayed him, and more importantly the American people and the Constitution, when they protected election thieves and the overthrown of the will of the American people. Now he supports the RINO, McCarthy. Trump is stupid and deeply flawed, he has gone out of his way to prove it to anyone who paying attention with an open mind.

You make a very strong argument, and it makes me think.
I am not sure it is him personally, but I do blame his “advisors”! He picks to many that have worked in DC for many yrs. They are the ones that has held him back, to just get out there and turn the party back to what it truly is meant to be.
And to keep this woman, shit like you said and we all know, she is hard core rino, just look at her last name ” Romney”!!
He has made some bad moves, but I blame those advisors, he needs people outside DC, maybe some young blood fresh from college?
He needs to tell his family to shut the “F” up!
Trump needs to read your comment!!!
But you could be right, he does not have the fight in him, AA President he could have fix that stolen election and made Pence do his job!!!
Trump has clearly lost his mind.
Why is he doing things that will drive his supporters elsewhere?
Trump forced to make deals with the evil powers within the party?
NOTHING changes with Trump. He is a bad judge of character.
He always has the *bad habit* of picking the WRONG people.
Trump is his own worst enemy.
I will vote for him again….. in 2024….but, I do not think he will win.
Because of all the Democrat CHEATING….and the mail-in voting.
Republicans are so fucking STUPID. They never learn from their mistakes.
Washington will always be controlled by the Democrats.
Nothing ever changes in Washington.
