It’s interesting that Trump would endorse Malloy, he’s going to lose, and Trump doesn’t like losers. I guess that’s why it was just an email and not a rally.

Another example of Trump not putting in any effort to find out what is really going on. Malloy speaks like Trump. Malloy courted Trump. Malloy supported the rigged 2020 election conspiracy. Trump likes sycophants, and that's good enough for him. Malloy is going to lose by a huge margin, and even though that is easy to predict from pre-election surveys, it will come as a total surprise to Trump, who will then throw Malloy under the bus and blame him for wasting Trump's endorsement.

Yeah an exact play out of the Trump playbook for sure. It only takes a little digging to realize that the last Republican senator from Vermont changed affiliation because the party was getting too extreme in 2001!

Im sure the endorsement has been paid for via donation to Trumps election campaign. That and Malloy is going to need to show his support in 2024. Everything is calculated.

Trump is going to want the support of a "loser" from 2022 mid-term elections? Maybe Trump's toddler mind won't remember after a year.

If it nets him a couple extra dollars then who cares if he takes the L. Malloy will lose bc republicans won’t win a VT senate seat, but he does know wealthy (R) VTers who could potentially give $$ to Trump over Desantis. It’s not about winning it’s about planting money trees, he’s doing this across the country.

If what you're saying is true, then it's a function of whatever "team" is operating to plant these money trees for Trump. I doubt that the man himself has the foresight to think this far down the road.

Well ya, he’s not a political strategist. He’s a polarizing figure that has been a celebrity in the national spotlight for close to 40 years.

One area where I can't compete with Trump is that I'm not directly responsible for a bungled and negligent national response to COVID, such that hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead that shouldn't be. I've gotta give him that. 👍
