Alex Jones seen on leaked video saying he's 'sick' of Donald Trump | TheHill

Prominent conspiracy theorist and far-right media personality Alex Jones is seen in a newly revealed video complaining about former President Trump and exclaiming that he wished he had never met him.

“It’s the truth, and I’m just going to say it: that I wish I never would have f---ing met Trump,” Jones says in the video, which was taken in January 2019. “I wish it never would have happened. And it’s not the attacks I’ve been through. I’m so sick of f---ing Donald Trump, man. God, I’m f---ing sick of him. And I’m not doing this because, like, I’m kissing his f---ing ass, you know. It’s, like, I’m sick of it.”

What does he dislike about Trump? Is it some personality conflict? Something else?

Jones has been among Trump's most vocal and bombastic supporters, often amplifying and sensationalizing false or misleading statements the former president makes and stirring up far-right users on the internet.

...
Robertson said Jones "doesn’t care about most of the stuff he professes to."

"It just shows he doesn’t care about anything he talks about," he said. "He doesn’t like Trump but then goes on camera talking about how Trump is the savior."

...
"It’s not necessarily about ideology for him. It’s more about money," Hayden said. "Jones, like other extreme far-right grifters, showed how far he was willing to take his hate business on Jan. 6, when he helped inspire Trump’s fans to commit an act of political violence."

I can more easily imagine Trump getting the nomination, losing in a landslide, holding a massive rally and inviting guns this time. The assault on the capitol building succeeds and Trump becomes king.

Except there wouldn't be nearly as much inside help.

Besides, I expect him to be in jail in 2024.

I believe you are confusing "expect" with "hope". Trump is a master at delaying and delaying consequences of legal proceedings, was that long before his stint as American President.

Personally, I don't want Trump in jail. It's too much like martyrdom.

I just want him ignored. Left alone. Doesn't get the attention that he craves and his base depend upon. His base has a low attention span, if Trump is out of the news cycle for a couple of weeks he'll be forgotten and lose all his influence.
Because he really doesn't have anything to offer anybody with informed views or a patriotic heart.

Nothing.

I want him living in a cardboard box under a bridge.

I hope his next stroke (which I am definitely NOT wishing for, right?) leaves him with a severe speech impediment and complete lack of bowel control.

Trials are public. The full record of any crimes successfully stapled to his wiener will be available for anyone looking to exonerate him, even posthumously.
I just think Florida Man in even a minimum security resort will be faced with finding out who his real friends are.

Depends on how many of his doctors have been kissing his ass as opposed to checking it. We know he has had plenty of the former, but has he ever the latter for enough time to make a difference?

Civil proceedings. Criminal ones aren't as easy to delay.

That's a good question, considering his shitty lifestyle. I think he'll be dead in 7 years tops, and likely seriously impaired long before cashing in.

This will go down well with the GOP for the next four years.

What's Trump going to do about it?
He's a public figure. His name and likeness are too well known to sue his way back into privacy now.

But I enjoy watching him flail around, wailing and gnashing his teeth. It's a total hoot!

Actually, it might be a boon to the GOP. They can stop kissing his orange ass. And can cut loose Orango the clown and his rabid politics and can shift back to a more moderate GOP that does not repel moderates. Like all those suburban educated women who have abandoned the GOP in the last few years. Dump QAnon crazies, and start addressing solving problems the US faces.

 

[Elixir]

They can stop kissing his orange ass.

... until they're up for re-election. Even if they can hold on through a primary challenge against a Trumptoad, Trump will have bloodied them up so badly for not kissing his ass that their chances in the general election will be badly damaged.

Plain and simple they need to pay him for it's use.

Now TeaPartiers can't just kiss his ass.
They have to pay for the privilege?

Do I hear a "ka-ching?" That would be Orange Grifter cashing in again. It will be interesting to see how republicans, generally speaking, respond. Orange is putting a rope unto their testicles but how will they react?

Whatever happened to Trump's claim, "I'm so rich I don't need donations. I can't be bought because I don't need any more money!"?

What's up with that?

He still wants control of his brand. Seems reasonable.

Some may be too disgusted with the Orange Cretin to click on links to his latest, but this one is too amusing to pass up:

Attorneys for former President Donald Trump sent cease-and-desist letters Friday to three Republican organizations asking them to stop using the former president's name and likeness in fundraising appeals and merchandise, a Trump adviser said Saturday.

The letters were sent to the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senate Committee — arms of the party tasked with raising money and shaping messaging, among other things, for the midterm elections and beyond.

The anointed Leader of the Republioturd Party and they can't use his likeness without paying him! If proof were still needed of what the Presidency meant to him, this is it.

Of course this hilarity is lost on the tens of millions who still support this sociopath. He could rape a dead boy in broad daylight in the middle of Fifth Avenue and they'd still love him.
