Donald Trump is having an extended meltdown after the New York Post published a blistering editorial online on Tuesday evening, calling on Republicans to turn away from the erratic former president.
“Attorney General Merrick Garland’s raid on Mar-a-Lago has ex-President Donald Trump back in the news. That’s a problem for Republicans, who need to move beyond him,” the newspaper wrote.
The editorial argued that the current environment “should make for a Republican landslide” in the 2022 midterm elections. “But if the focus is on Trump instead, enraged Democrats will unite, pause their intercine warring while independents will abstain or vote against the GOP,” the NY Post wrote.
“Those GOPers know Trump’s already an albatross: His “stolen election” derangement in late 2020 is why Dems control the Senate now, and his endorsements in this year’s primaries have helped saddle Republicans with enough weak Senate candidates this year that retaking the chamber seems increasingly out of reach,” the editorial states. “Plus, for all the tens of millions Trump has raised since leaving the White House, he hasn’t yet spent any of it even to help the candidates he’s endorsed.”

In response, Trump took to his social media website “Truth Social” to rant about the editorial.
“The New York Post, once my favorite newspaper, in defense of Mitch McConnell’s weak performance in stopping the ridiculous, record-setting spending being done by Democrats (which will ruin our Country!) by not using “all of the tools in the tool box,” like Debt Ceiling, doesn’t discuss, in their recent Editorial, the advertisements run in Georgia by the Democrats “knocking” Mitch McConnell’s $600 limit, versus $2,000+ by the Radical Left Dems…” Trump ranted.
He then took aim at Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell.
“…McConnell lost those two Senate seats, not Donald Trump! If anything, The New York Post Editorial Board (whatever happened to them?) should be talking about the brand new revelation of the fired Trump hating “Special Agent” In Charge of the horrendous, and unnecessary, Mar-a-Lago Break-In—Also, this was the same horrible person who was in charge of the virtually non-existent 2020 Presidential Election investigation—but we found plenty, even without him!…
And, of course, he would not go away without attacking the FBI.
“…The fact is that the FBI told Facebook the “Laptop from Hell” was Russian disinformation when they knew very well that it was not. This Fake statement alone changed the outcome of the Election by millions of votes, and it was by no means the only corruption which took place. Sadly, the Media in our Country is so afraid of being sued that they never want to mention anything having to do with the corrupt Election of 2020!” Trump wrote.
