Trump Fumes Over 'Irrelevant' Dick Cheney In Post-Harris Endorsement Meltdown

Donald Trump ranted about Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), on Friday after the two threw their support behind Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign this week.

“Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter, who lost by the largest margin in the History of Congressional Races!,” wrote the GOP nominee on his Truth Social platform.

His post comes on the same day that Liz Cheney revealed that her father, who once endorsed Trump’s 2016 campaign before becoming a harsh critic of the former president, would be voting for the Democratic nominee in the fall.

Dick Cheney, who served as former President George W. Bush’s VP, later released a statement confirming that he’s backing Harris and warned that Trump can “never be trusted with power again” due to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

...

Dick Cheney, with his Harris endorsement on Friday, joined a number of Republicans formerly on the GOP presidential ticket who have signaled they won’t be voting for Trump in November.

He calls them irrelevant but has a meltdown anyway.

Label around so much at the true Republicans. They are the RINOs. They don't stand for anything true Republicans stand for. They should rename their party MAGA.

He blasted out a response to a discussion that, "Romney was NEVER, NEVER a Republican!"

I relied, "you people are deranged."

He got all worked up about how rude I was for saying he was deranged.

I replied, "sorry, but it's deranged to assert that the 2012 Republican nominee for potus was NEVER, NEVER a Republican."

That ended the exchange.

They should rename it the MAGA NAZI party. I know that would sound extreme to come out with our side calling it that openly in the 2016 election run up, but to me that is an accurate characterization today. Doesn’t mean we are going to be that blunt, but at least the media makes constant references to Trump and the MAGA crowd being comparable to NAZI germany back in the Hitler brutal dictatorship era.

The voters need to be reminded of that fact DAILY , that we fought a war over this issue. There shouldn’t be any doubt in the mind of a sane rational person, that Trump is hell bent to be a modern day ruthless dictator. Just listen to his endless ranting and raving like Hitler did. Then convince us he’s not every bit a psychopath trying to amongst other things, implement the tenet’s of project 2025 with his unhinged new BFF Vance.

But most republicans are still clinging to The Big Lie, so none of their comrades will diss them as RINOs. Weak.

...was my first thought. "He acknowledged the irrelevant?" That's weird.
Also, I doubt he actually wrote thus because I find it highly doubtful he knew that Liz lost her primary by "the largest margin". That kind of detailed information is not something in his dataset.
