Multiple Analysts All Believe Trump Just Offered Up A Damning Indictment Of Himself Through His Most Recent Un-Endorsement: “Says It All”

He just told on himself and he doesn't even know it.

This list of bad qualities I could attribute to Donald Trump are quite literally virtually endless — the racism, sexism, xenophobia, dictator desires, mental and physical illness… I could literally go on and on and on.

But if there’s one “quality” of the ex-president’s that absolutely glaring at all times, it’s his damn ego. For a man who spent four years fucking literally everything up, made history as the first US president to get impeached twice throughout his presidency, couldn’t even secure a second term in office, and has spent every day since his brutal loss to his Democratic opponent refusing to accept reality — the man has an ego that is just absolutely astounding.

And it serves to get him into trouble more often than not because his massive sense of self-importance seems to disallow him from knowing when he should just shut the Hell up.

Earlier this week, ex-President Trump released a new statement, in which he announced yet another un-endorsement of a GOP candidate when he publicly expressed his disdain for Bill McSwain and made it very clear to the American people that he would not be supporting the former US Attorney General’s run for Pennsylvania’s governor.

“He was the U.S. Attorney who did absolutely nothing on the massive Election Fraud that took place in Philadelphia and throughout the commonwealth,” Trump fumed in the statement. “[Former Attorney General Bill] Barr told him not to do anything (because Barr was afraid of being impeached by the Democrats), but he should have done his job anyway.”

Since this new un-endorsement hit the media, multiple expert analysts have spoken out with their belief that all Trump accomplished through this statement was offering up a damning indictment of his own self.

CNN’s Chris Cillizza wrote, “there’s something unique and noteworthy in Trump’s un-endorsement that is telling about how he views not just the 2020 election but also how he views the world.”

The CNN analyst goes on to specifically cite Trump’s un-endorsement statement and makes specific note of the ex-president’s complaints that McSwain missed his opportunity to take meaningful action in bolstering Trump’s unhinged, relentless, and blatantly false conspiracy theories about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 US presidential election.

“[McSwain] knew what was happening and let it go. It was there for the taking and he failed so badly,” the ex-president’s un-endorsement statement read.

“Trump’s approach to the world is contained in that sentiment,” Cillizza theorizes. “He believes might makes right, that you take what you can unless or until someone stops you. There’s no real room for right or wrong in that worldview. There’s just the dominant who take what they want and the weak who get taken from.”

And he’s not alone in this assessment of Trump’s recent announcement.

Grid News reporter Steve Reilly said, “‘It was there for the taking’ seems to convey awareness that what he tried to steal wasn’t rightfully his.”

ABC News reporter Will Steakin weighed in and described it as a “telling line from Trump.”

Civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill pointed out what we’re all thinking, “Says it all. Our democracy will never be anything more nor less for Trump than ‘there for the taking.'”

It seems we’ve reached a point where most of the hard work is being done for us, by none other than Trump himself. That ego of his is going to dig his own hole so deep, he’ll never climb out of it.
