Major Conservative Group Invited Half A Dozen Potential 2024 Candidates To Their Annual Retreat — But They Didn’t Include Trump And It Sent The Ex-President Into A Tailspin

Welp, he handled this about as well as you'd expect.

There is nothing in this world that send Donald Trump into an instant mental breakdown quite like the sense that he has become irrelevant, unloved, and unimportant — especially among the Conservative crowd where he’d grown so accustomed to being treated like an insurmountable, bulletproof king of kings.

While I’m no psychologist, it certainly doesn’t take an expert to determine that the scandal-ridden former president is teeming with unhinged self-importance and wildly unchecked narcissistic tendencies, at the very least, and he simply has not ever (and will not ever) react well to anything that even gives off an air of threatening or challenging the level of resounding importance he has set for himself.

To be frank, anything of the sort never fails to send the ex-president into an anger-fueled tailspin that I can only imagine will one day be studied and documented in textbooks in medical schools around the globe.

And I fully expect that this particular incident will be used as a prime example.

This week, the major Conservative anti-tax group, The Club For Growth, sent out invites for their annual retreat to half a dozen potential 2024 presidential candidates. Donald J. Trump did not get one.

The New York Times sums up the gravity of this development:

The Club for Growth, a conservative anti-tax group that spent nearly $150 million in the past two election cycles, has invited a half-dozen potential Republican presidential candidates to its annual donor retreat next month — but not Donald J. Trump.

In a meeting with reporters on Monday, David McIntosh, president of the group, said that Republican chances of winning back the White House next year would be diminished if Mr. Trump were once again at the top of the ticket and that he hoped to introduce Republican donors to other possibilities.”

Donald Trump did not handle this well.

The scandal-ridden, washed-up former president wasted no time in taking to his struggling Truth Social platform with a nuclear meltdown for the ages, chock full of all his favorite insults and ranting talking points:

The Club For NO Growth, an assemblage of political misfits, globalists, and losers, fought me incessantly and rather viciously during my presidential run in 2016. They said I couldn’t win, I did, and won even bigger in 2020, with millions of more votes than ‘16, but the Election was Rigged & Stollen. They asked to get together on Endorsements of candidates, we did, and had MANY WINS & NO losses. Relationship broke up over my Endorsement of certain great people in Alabama & Ohio. I won them all!”

Trump’s own niece, psychologist Dr. Mary Trump, has long been warning of the nuclear meltdown that’s lying in wait, the moment Donald truly comes to realize that he is irrelevant. It certainly seems as though it’s high time to start preparing for that fallout.
