There is chatter floating around the blind item “community” that Kari Lake is banging Donald Trump. There was a point, a number of years ago, when I would have thought if this was true it would matter to Trump’s political prospects.
Sadly, this is no longer the case.
There really is nothing that Trump could do at this point — other than shuffle off this mortal coil — that would prevent him from being the 2024 Republican nominee and probably the next president of the United States. On a macro basis, it definitely seems as though the United States as just given up.
Something Bad, one way or another, is going to happen to the United States starting in late 2024, going into 2025. I can’t predict the future, so, lulz, I suppose it’s possible that we’ll manage to punt our problems down the road another four years. But we have to admit that Blue and Red are now receding from each other at an alarming rate.
As such, we’re going to either turn into an autocracy, have a civil war (Reds) or have a revolution (Blues.)
Anyway, the point is — Trump is now beyond the event horizon when it comes to something as prosaic as an affair. Pretty much, the only thing Trump hasn’t admitted to doing is eating someone.
Give him time, I suppose Trump will do that, too, soon enough.
