Vivek comes across as incredibly smarmy. He made his fortune in what amounted to a pump-and-dump play with a pharmaceutical company, and he reminds me of the sham-wow guy.
There is no core, he’s a sales guy, closing the deal is his only principle.
Vivek’s strategy has been to suck up to Trump and Trump supporters, waiting for Trump to fall, to set himself up as the alternative to DeSantis. It was all so insincere, but it served Team Trump’s purposes because the more alternatives to Trump in the primaries, the better for Trump.
Sucking up earned Vivek safety from Trump’s barbs (does he even have a nickname for Vivek?) and attacks. Vivek rose because it suited Trump’s purposes for Vivek to rise. Vivek thought he was in control, another stock hustle with The Donald as the mark.
Late this afternoon, just ahead of the Iowa Caucuses, Trump called Vivek out on Truth Social:
Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter, “the best President in generations,” etc. Unfortunately, now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks. Very sly, but a vote for Vivek is a vote for the “other side” — don’t get duped by this. Vote for “TRUMP,” don’t waste your vote! Vivek is not MAGA. The Biden Indictments against his Political Opponent will never be allowed in this Country, they are already beginning to fall! MAGA!!!
There is a lot of Truth in that Truth. But why did Trump turn on Vivek NOW? Concern that Vivek was taking votes away from Trump in Iowa and hurting Trump not DeSantis? Or just sick of him?
Vivek is STILL sucking up even after Trump threw him under the bus, and saying the quiet part out loud – he’s waiting for Trump to fall.
Here’s the plot & it’s hiding in plain sight:1. Narrow this to a 2-horse race between Trump & Haley.2. Eliminate Trump.3. Trot their puppet into the White House.I respect the hell out of Trump. He’s the best President of the 21st century. I’ve defended him at every step against the unjust persecutions. I filed a Supreme Court brief this week laying out the winning legal arguments to overrule Colorado’s disastrous ruling. I’ve filed FOIA demands against the Biden administration. I went to Miami to rally outside the courthouse against Joe Biden and Merrick Garland’s unjust federal indictment of Trump. I’ve called on every Republican to remove themselves from the ballots of Maine & Colorado if they remove Trump.But OPEN YOUR EYES to the hard TRUTH: this system will stop at nothing to keep this man away from the White House.Just because it’s wrong doesn’t mean it won’t happen & we owe it to our nation to take America-First forward.
I feel like I need a shower after writing so much about Vivek.
