Unhappy Trump donors are talking to the press (Habberman in NYT)

[quote]Later, at dinner under the tent, Harrison LeFrak, the scion of a New York real-estate family, whose father is an old friend of Mr. Trump’s, asked how Mr. Trump planned to take the narrative back from Democrats, and what his positive vision for the country would be. It appeared to be a request for reassurance.

[quote]Mr. Trump provided none. Instead, he criticized Ms. Harris on a range of fronts, before adding: “I am who I am.”

Whole article in a nutshell. His donors expecting him to "recalibrate" apparently don't know him at all, which is sad. This man hasn't recalibrated once in his life, he's just failed upwards over and over again until he found himself in the White House.

[quote]His advisers have urged Mr. Trump to portray Ms. Harris as someone who frequently changes her positions, some of them recalling how successfully President George W. Bush used that strategy against John Kerry in the 2004 presidential race.

[quote]Mr. Trump has called her “fake” — but in self-defeating ways, like questioning whether Ms. Harris, who is Black, is Black.

Hilarious. Beware of Haberman once she's not licking your ass anymore.

Have the disgusting Mercers said a peep?

Harrison LeFrak is a great gay diva name.

People who don't realize they are supporting a rambling idiot with no Plan B don't deserve to have that kind of money.

[quote]In an angry phone call to a Times reporter on Friday afternoon, Mr. Trump denied that he was making any changes to his team, saying he was “thrilled” with his top advisers, Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, and asking why he would even want to make such a change.

[quote](In the same call, Mr. Trump threatened to sue The Times over a story about his description in Thursday’s news conference of a near-death experience on a helicopter ride with Willie Brown, the former California politician. Mr. Brown denied ever having flown on a helicopter with Mr. Trump.)

Threatening to sue is like breathing for him at this point. He's virtually the exact same person he was back in the '80s, except for the party affiliation and a different whore for a wife.

I cannot believe its 2024 and this guy is still running for office.

What did the texts say?

[quote]The texts said that the officials running Preserve America were “RINOs” — Republicans in name only — and that Mrs. Adelson’s late husband would never have tolerated that, the people said.

Maybe those morons should take a long, hard look at how Trump molded their party into a death cult since 2015.

[quote] I cannot believe its 2024 and this guy is still running for office.

I could see it if he were running as a nutjob third party candidate, like RFK. What's incredible that the conservative, pro-business party made him their nominee.

The pro-business party didn’t make him their nominee. They wanted Nikki Haley.

I’m actually kind of surprised they didn’t have the guts to push him down a flight of stairs before the primary.

Part of me hopes that GOP brings out the knives for him and his whole clan after the election. But another part of me hopes they run his incoherent ass again from prison in 2028.

[quote] portray Ms. Harris as someone who frequently changes her positions

This probably could have worked when stance on issues still mattered. But the Republicans made political life a culture war and reduced political discussions to just good vs bad. They made "positions" obsolete first. They will have a hard time to paddle back from that, especially with this candidate.

Harrison LeFrak.. hmm, NY real estate dynasty. LeFrak City in Queens. LeFrak Center at Lakeside, Prospect Park, Brooklyn. He's been through a divorce this year.

[quote] Last year, LeFrak bought the Marina Del Rey apartments in Miami Beach’s Normandy Isle for $24.5 million. The company is also co-developing the SoLé Mia project in North Miami with Turnberry Associates. Last year, the developers secured a $32 million construction loan for the project.

Yes, good, invest more in soon to be underwater Miami. This family doesn't sound too evil actually. Thanks for the nice ice skating rink.

Miriam Adelson is a nasty old cunt. It'll be a good day when she joins Sheldon in hell.

[R11] Yes I am surprised by this as well because years ago many Republicans did NOT like "businessman" and reality star Trump.

At least he’s performing the service of separating these assholes from their money.

Good article. I thought haberman was a trumpette?

Haberman just craves (exclusive) access to the White House and Trump was very generous with her on that front when he was still in there. She can see where the wind is blowing these days.

Perhaps she decided to pull back after she got her head examined.

"Look Donald if I have to pay a penny in taxes I'm going to thaw out Sheldon to have a few words with you!"

in terms of buy, sell or hold the big $ spenders are entering the 'sell' phase. His days as a useful idiot clearly are coming to an end.

DJT never changes positions.

I’m sure MAGA Haberman will be back to licking his taint in a few days.

If someone could provide some evidence that Haberman is a MAGA disciple I’d love to see it.
