MAGA Radio Host Tells Trump: ‘Nobody Cares’ About Your ‘Grievances’

TROUBLE IN PARADISE

“I just don’t care,” Fredericks exclaimed on Tuesday, referencing Trump’s latest lawsuit against Bob Woodward.

MAGA-boosting radio host John Fredericks has turned on Donald Trump, telling the former president in no uncertain terms on Tuesday that “nobody cares” about his petty media feuds and “grievances” anymore.

Fredericks, a longtime supporter of the twice-impeached ex-president, largely took issue with how Trump has seemingly ignored political issues while focusing his attention on far-fetched lawsuits and complaints about “fake news.” Additionally, Fredericks grumbled about Trump privately backing Ronna McDaniel in her successful re-election bid for Republican National Committee chair.

“President Trump is going to do what he wants,” Fredericks declared in a clip first flagged by Raw Story. “I think he should have stayed out of it totally, not even send surrogates. Just let the chips fall where they may. Same with [House Speaker Kevin] McCarthy.”

The far-right wing of the GOP recently pushed for McDaniel to be ousted as RNC leader after the party’s disappointing midterm election results, rallying around conservative activist Harmeet Dhillon. Fox News star Tucker Carlson went so far as to say “we are rooting for you” to Dillon before the RNC election, which she lost by a fairly wide margin.

Echoing other MAGA influencers demoralized over McDaniel’s victory, Fredericks said, “We’ve all been saying to stop giving money to the RNC.” The conservative pundit had scheduled a public debate between the chair candidates during the RNC meetings, which McDaniel sidestepped. In fact, Trump-worshiping pillow magnate Mike Lindell was the only candidate to attend, prompting Fredericks to harshly criticize the Republican chairwoman.

The conservative pundit then turned back to Trump, blasting the 2024 GOP presidential contender for prioritizing his feuds with the press over everything else. Specifically, he brought up Trump’s recent $49 million lawsuit against veteran journalist Bob Woodward over their taped interviews.

“He sent a big thing out yesterday about, I don't know, ‘fake news’ or he’s suing somebody,” Fredericks sighed. “I’m telling you, folks, I’m just telling you. Nobody cares. I mean, they just don't care!”

Noting that Americans care more about the “price of eggs” and inflation, the right-wing radio host said “people are hurting” and “just don’t care” about the ex-president’s Truth Social posts and gripes about CNN.

“I’m telling you, it’s all grievances,” he exclaimed. “No one cares. They just don’t care! I just don’t care.”

At the same time, Fredericks also pointed out to Trump that he has no one else to blame but himself over the dozens of hours of taped interviews with Woodward.

“I mean, you’ve got all the publicity you'll ever need,” he concluded. “And you think you’re going to sit down with Bob Woodward for 100 hours with a tape recorder on and think that somehow at the end of the day, honestly, that that is going to work to your advantage if you’re Donald Trump. Like, somehow, he was going to convince Woodward what a great president he is.”

DeSantis snaps back at Trump: I got reelected { DeSanctimonious said "I got reelected" and the end of that sentence is "and you didn't!." Trumpty Dumpty is right about one thing: DeSanctimonious is trying to rewrite his history on covid vaccination. First he promoted it, now he's against it. } Gary Fineout Tue, January 31, 2023 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday hit back at former President Donald Trump’s criticism of his Covid-19 handling, pointing out that he scored a record reelection victory that showed voters supported his hands-off response to the pandemic. “I roll out of bed, I have people attacking me from all angles, it’s been happening for many, many years,” DeSantis said during a press conference in Bradenton where he was asked about Trump’s recent digs at him. “The good thing is, is that the people are able to render a judgment on that whether they re-elect you or not. And I’m happy to say — you know in my case — not only did we win re-election, we won with the highest percentage of the vote that any Republican governor candidate has had in the history of the state of Florida. ... That verdict has been rendered by the people of the state of Florida.” DeSantis has made similar remarks in the past, but his Tuesday comments show he’s willing to engage and defend against a rising stream of attacks from his one-time ally who boosted him to the governor’s mansion back in 2018. Trump over the weekend made campaign appearances in New Hampshire and South Carolina where he told reporters that DeSantis would be “disloyal” if he ran for the Republican nomination and he knocked DeSantis’ record on Covid-19. DeSantis is a rising conservative star who is seen as one of the biggest potential obstacles to Trump winning a third go-round as the Republican nominee for president. DeSantis’ star has been buoyed by his decision to veer away from lockdowns earlier than most states — but not all — and his insistence on opening schools back up to in-person learning. He leaned into his record as a prime argument to Florida voters who re-elected him in a nearly 20-point victory over Democratic nominee Charlie Crist. DeSantis has also waded into cultural issues such as race and gender identity that also brought him widespread criticism and attention. Trump so far is the only major GOP candidate in the race, although many others are mulling 2024 White House runs. DeSantis will likely jump into the race later this year — possibly in May — after the annual session of the Florida Legislature. Trump also contended that DeSantis was “trying to rewrite history” regarding his handling of the pandemic, including the governor’s decision to allow lockdowns during the first months as well as his aggressive early push for people to get vaccinated. DeSantis has since pivoted and now is viewed as a vaccine skeptic, especially after he asked for the creation of a grand jury to look at any “wrongdoing” associated with vaccines. Trump has begun to paint DeSantis, however, as another Republican establishment candidate, including taking shots at him because he is on good terms with former GOP Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who Trump mocked and chased out of the 2016 race for president. news.yahoo.com
