You didn’t really expect Donald Trump to take this seriously, did you?
The disgraced former president teased early Monday that he would make his long-awaited primary endorsement for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Roy Blunt that day. He already torched Rep. Vicky Hartzler last month, writing on his Truth Social platform that voters “can forget about” her chances, while egregiously claiming she’d asked for his nod multiple times. That left, among others, current Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Eric Greitens, who resigned as Missouri governor in humiliation amid accusations of campaign finance offenses and sexual assault.
That afternoon, Trump went into full stand-up comic mode: “I am therefore proud to announce that ERIC has my Complete and Total Endorsement!” he finally declared. So in other words, he’s decided to hedge his bets on the two front-runners in the race.
