Trump was never, never NEVER going to be "the wind in Elise Stefanik's wings."

[Miles Archer]

A few reasons I can think of, none of them worth going into, because beyond the fact that he threw a wrench into her campaign today (which I think is great), I don't care beyond that. I think we all knew someone like her in school, and we didn't like her. That seems to be the way Trump has routinely treated her, which doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense, since he needs fealty like he needs oxygen. I just see her as "too needy," as if she wants something back for her groveling, and that NEVER plays well with Trump. Anyway, womp womp, Elise. Womp womp.

'Complete disaster': MAGA rages after Trump delivers 'devastating blow' to ally's campaign

“Trump just ended Elise Stefanik,” former federal prosecutor Ron Filipkowski wrote on X. “I so wish I could see her face right now. (First time I’ve ever said that).”

New Yorker Matt Castelli, a business executive and former CIA counterterrorism official, made clear how he thought the moment landed.

“This presser is a complete disaster for Elise Stefanik’s campaign of fear-mongering about Mamdani. She’s going to have to find a new boogeyman,” he wrote. Castelli followed up with: “Elise Stefanik spent nearly a decade selling her soul to Trump only for him to dump her as UN Ambassador and end her campaign for governor.”

Democratic commentator Kaivan Shroff summed it up with his own post: “The biggest loser of the Trump-Mamdani meeting is Elise Stefanik. And boy does she deserve it.”
