Lincoln Square -Trump to Stefanik: Stay Home
The good news for New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik: Trump has finally learned her name and remembers it most of the time. The bad news: No United Nations Ambassadorship for her. For all her fawning, debasing, ambition, and bootlicking, Stefanik has earned the position of Congresswoman from New York - exactly where she was when she embarked on her transformation from anti-Trump moderate Republican to expressing fealty to a man so amoral and grotesque that he shouldn’t be allowed alone with her children. Well done, Elise.
As interesting and somewhat satisfying as it is to see Trump pull her nomination, the reasoning behind it is telling. A few short months ago, Stefanik was reelected in her conservative district, NY-21, by 24 points. Today, because of what Trump describes as the most popular and successful first two months in the history of a presidential administration, he’s telling her to sit in her (House) seat for fear that a special election could flip the solidly red seat to blue. That would be an odd reaction to a historically great Trump Administration by those in New York’s 21st. It’s almost as though Trump doesn’t believe his own bullshit.
Good Reason For Concern
It was apparent leading up to the 2024 Presidential Election that Trump and the forces behind Project 2025 knew it was terribly unpopular - which is why Trump ran away from it. Russell Vought, one of its lead authors, acknowledged the need for Trump to lie about his support for it.
For Trump, once again, the lie paid off and helped land him back behind the Resolute Desk. The mistake many Americans made - and it’s a safe bet that this is always a mistake - was accepting what Trump said as the truth. And now the Project 2025 chickens are coming home to roost like Bird Flu.
