The Emperor Has No Clothes

On Tuesday, June 13th, Donald Trump was arrested and booked in a Miami federal court but his promised protesters failed to show up.

Trump is still the frontrunner to be the Republican nominee, but after being arrested twice and facing multiple criminal investigations, his grip on the Republican party may be slipping. Trump called for “protest, protest, protest,” at his Miami criminal booking, but only a handful of his supporters bothered to show. GOP political insiders are privately worried that Trump’s legal problems will hurt them in the 2024 elections and some Republican leaders are starting to publicly speak out, including Rep. Don Bacon who said of Trump, “I just think the emperor has no clothes.”
