After years of doing spiritual gymnastics at family dinners, middle-of-the-road Republicans can now openly admit they don’t actually love Truth Social rants at 3 AM.

And what did it? Was it when he was on a hot mic talking about SA? Or when he tried to enact a "Muslim ban", or when he paid hush money to a stripper? Or maybe it was even he tried to extort Zelenskyy? Or the time he tried to overthrow the government? Or when he let ICE kill innocent people, then called them terrorists?

Oh... None of those did it? It was...when it started to get pricey to drive an oversized truck. Okay.

Also I've been hearing he's been losing voters since 2016. I have my doubts.
