Trump is reeling over last night’s electoral repudiation of MAGA Republicans and wants his base to know he isn't responsible. Trump posted an article from The National Pulse titled, "The DeSantis-McConnell Axis of Idiots Took the Ls Last Night, Not Trump." Trump also posted the title separately in quotes.

The article blames a group comprising of Ron DeSantis, Mitch McConnell, Glenn Youngkin, Brian Kemp, and their political advisors and apparatus instead of the GOP frontrunner. Trump's article says these losses are "not Trump world losses."

The article includes an image of Youngkin, signaling to his MAGA base to attack Youngkin, who Trump endorsed in 2018, calling him a "patriot." Trump has deleted the statement containing the endorsement off his official webpage.

Trump lobbed a Trumpian attacked on Youngkin last year, claiming his name "sounds Chinese" and the Virginia governor "couldn't have come close to winning" without him.

Trump wants other Republicans to pledge their loyalty to him, and if they don't he'll continue the attacks. Trump wants to be the outsider and refuses to accept that any electoral losses may be related to him. This could spell disaster for the GOP in 2024.
