In the middle of the night, while most people were sleeping, Donald Trump was wide awake and worried. At 1:37 AM, he posted a video from Newsmax where host Greg Kelly talked about something that might really shake things up: the idea that George W. Bush might endorse Kamala Harris for president.
This news clearly got under Trump’s skin. Bush has never been a fan of Trump. He didn’t endorse him, raise money for him, or even appear with him. But Bush also hasn’t spoken out against Trump. He’s just stayed quiet while many of his former staff and Republican big shots have switched sides and are now backing Harris.
Now, Trump is probably thinking, “What if Bush actually endorses Harris?” That could be a big deal. If Bush, a former Republican president, backs a Democrat, it could make a lot of moderate Republicans rethink their support for Trump. Some might even vote for Harris, or just stay home on Election Day. And let’s face it, Trump isn’t getting much love from his old team. Most of his former Cabinet members aren’t supporting him. The McCains, Romneys, Cheneys, and even Mike Pence are all against him. The only one still on his side is Sarah Palin, and she’s not as influential as she once was.
Greg Kelly, who is a big Trump supporter, wasn’t happy about the idea of Bush endorsing Harris. He called it a “disgrace” and said,
“Guess who might be on the fence and thinking about endorsing Kamala Harris? George W. Bush … He’s contemplating an endorsement of Harris … He might do it before the election at some point. What a disgrace. How dare he after what he brought this country through. What we’re going through right now – things that he doesn’t have to deal with because he’s rich.”

Kelly was also upset about the 200 former Bush, McCain, and Romney staffers who have already endorsed Harris. He called them “RINOs” (Republicans In Name Only), but the truth is, these people are just tired of Trump’s behavior and want someone with more common sense.
Ron Filipkowski, a former federal and state prosecutor, and a Marine who once called himself a Republican, has been closely following these developments. Filipkowski has built a massive following by exposing those who threaten American democracy. As editor-in-chief of MeidasTouch.com and co-host of the popular podcast ‘Uncovered’ on the MeidasTouch Network, he knows all too well the kind of damage Trump can cause.
Filipkowski points out that Trump’s late-night fears are telling. If Bush endorses Harris, it could further erode Trump’s support among Republicans. As we wait to see what happens, one thing is clear: Trump is really stressed out about this, and it’s kind of funny to watch.
