Former President Trump on Friday took aim at Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) amid rumors that the businessman could run for president in 2024.
“I Endorsed him, did a very big Trump Rally for him telephonically, got MAGA to Vote for him – or he couldn’t have come close to winning,” wrote Trump on his Truth Social account. Trump has been hinting at announcing another bid for the White House as early as next week.
Trump also made a comment about Youngkin’s name sounding “Chinese” as he attributed the governor’s 2021 election win to his support.
“Young Kin (now that’s an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn’t it?) in Virginia couldn’t have
Shut up and go away.

This is the Trump conservatives voted for. He hasn't changed a bit.
If you don't like him now then you never did.
Trump 24.

Violations of the 11th Commandment will catch up to him. He should go after Mitch and his ilk instead.

"This is the Trump conservatives voted for."
Yea.....no.
We supported the guy who took the fight to those who attacked him first. I certainly didn't vote for a man who draws blood from his ALLIES, just in case they run for the same office. He's doing the exact same crap that Mitt Romney and John McCain did.

I have great respect for D. Trump. However, in the last few days respect is waning. Why does he keep on tearing down other pubbies running for office" Trump also made a comment about Youngkin’s name sounding “Chinese” as he attributed the governor’s 2021 election win to his support. “Young Kin (now that’s an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn’t it?" Stop Mr. President. Getting mighty old.

Trump did the same thing in 2016 when he was against 17 republicans...it's called politics...at least it was called politics then....now anything Trump says or does is considered sinful or self serving.....according to the so called media!!

It is a shame that Trump has to make other's success as only due to him. Be glad when those you have supported do well.

"it's called politics"
Here's the difference. He was a DECLARED candidate running in a PRIMARY election against 16 other DECLARED candidates. And all of those 16 candidates had criticized Trump.
As of today...... NOT ONE republican has declared their intentions to run. There is not one candidate. Neither Young kin nor DeSantis has criticized Trump.

Trump likely feels like the Lone Ranger. If he doesn't blow his horn, it doesn't get blown. Candidates he works for never even bother to say "Thanks," much less acknowledge his help.
In his place I might get a little sharp-tongued also! He seems to be standing alone with jackals all around.
One thing for sure, if he's not "allowed" to run there are a whole bunch of MAGA voters who will stay home. To hell with all of it!

He.has.got.to.stop. All, and I mean, ALL, outgoing fire should be against Biden and the radical Democrats.

He is almost acting like Obama thinking he deserved a third term. All of this behavior on his behalf is not serving him well.

Honestly, President Trump has been the best President in my 72 years. I voted for him twice. For me, now his age is a factor. He may be vigorous for his age, but he's still an old man. It's time for our generation to pass the torch to the next young conservative leaders. There are a lot of them. I'm sure I don't agree with any of them completely, but I will support one of them in the future.
God bless President Trump and his family!

Congrats, OP. You got the exact posts you were hoping for, with a few exceptions.

Youngkin basically won because of his opponent McAuliffe's unforced error: "I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach."

President Trump is hurting himself by making these statements about fellow Republicans now. He should save it for the primaries, where I believe DeSantis will prevail. Especially if he keeps on attacking fellow Republicans

So unproductive! If your beef is with Winsome-Sears, why lash out at Youngkin? This type of narrative is pushing against reluctant Trump supporters (that embraced his policies but absolutely cringe with his unforced errors). IF he wants to be the Republican nominee, he needs to demonstrate restraint. Try focusing attacks on Democrats.

Why is anyone upset Trump is attacking "fellow" Republicans.
Trump is NOT a Republican. He is a conservative. I've had enough Bushie/Delecto/Turle Republicans in my life time. No more.
And some people seem to forget that from the very beginning Trump was slamming "fellow" Republicans during the 2016 primaries. Exactly like he is now. He has not changed at all.
Enough with the narrative "we need someone to tweet nicely!" noise.
And the 11th commandment? When did eGOP RINOs help or support him? They attacked and undermined him since before he announced he was running the first time.
Again: Trump is a conservative and loves this country. He is not a Republican. If you put party before country, that's your call, go vote for a Bush or whomever the media tells you is an acceptable nice tweeting inoffensive go along to get along Republican.
Trump 24. DeSantis 28,32.

No, "Young Kin" does not sound Chinese. It sounds Korean.

Was Youngkin expected to cast votes for Virginians?

You need to read conservative treehouse article from Sundance in this issue. This is a complex chess match that involves the electorate and there are lots of anti Trump bots that are commenting to push your buttons. There is more than meets the eye and in the end what do we always discover? Trump was right.

Youngkin has been on the job a few months. I think maybe be the Gov of Virginia for now.
