Legal AF by MeidasTouch - Trump Makes HUGE BLUNDER with CAMPAIGN DECISION

Episode Date: August 17, 2024

In another feel good news story for the Harris campaign, Trump has decided to make MAGA super creep, and accused abuser of women and mocker of immigrant children with Down Syndrome, Corey Lewandowski, HIS NEW CAMPAIGN CHIEF, to direct traffic against VP Harris! Michael Popok explains how Trump hiring a band of 2016-era “convicts, criminals and creeps” to save his death spiral of a campaign is NOT an effective strategy, and should be welcomed with a sigh of relief by Democrats.

This is Michael Popak, Legal AF. Listen to me. It is a good thing that Corey Lewandowski, the mega super super creep is being brought back by Donald Trump as his quote, personal envoy or the chairman of his campaign or whatever it is taking the way back machine from 2016. We're trying not to go back and Donald Trump is trying

to drag us back kicking and screaming to 2016. What better way to be dragged back kicking and screaming than with Corey Lewandowski. Corey Lewandowski, let me just give you just three low lights from his career. Corey Lewandowski was accused of sexual assault, being a predator and attacking and bruising a female Republican donor in 2021

during a Las Vegas casino event. She was married to a law to a big construction executive who was donating money to the Republicans and Corey chased and stalked her, touched her and said vulgar and disgusting things. How do I know that? Because Trachelle Odom says it happened. Okay. That's one a major event in the milestone of Corey Lewandowski. That got him kicked out of Trump world and got him kicked off of what he thought was a plum assignment to run MAGA, to be the head of the MAGA action pack. Gone. Done.

But never that far away because birds of a feather flock together and Donald Trump likes to hang around with people who are accused of sexual abuse of women. Second low light, Corey Lewandowski was accused of yanking the arm of a reporter trying to cover the Trump campaign, wrenching out her arm, pushing her and physically assaulting her. And then back in 2018, he was on a Fox News panel, obviously not thinking he was being recorded or he didn't care, and when they were talking about immigration, and one of the panelists talked about an undocumented immigrant child, 10 years old, with Down syndrome and using that as an example of a more – pushing for a more humane immigration policy. Corey Lewandowski's heard to go, womp, womp, in a mock, so he's mocking a down syndrome child.

That Corey Lewandowski. Now does anybody think after hearing that description that Corey Lewandowski as personal envoy or as campaign manager in fact, because Donald Trump doesn't want it to appear that there's chaos roiling his campaign. So he keeps La Savita and he keeps Suzy Wiles, but he brings in all these other people, including likely Kellyanne Conway and now definitely Corey Lewandowski. Then it looks like it's an addition, not a subtraction, right?

Things are fine. They're hunky dory in the Trump world, right? Whether or not. But bringing back Corey Lewandowski with his compromised ethics, with his flawed judgment is a great thing for Democrats. Does anybody think that putting Corey in charge of the Trump campaign against Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is gonna work out for Donald Trump? This ain't 2016 last time I looked at the calendar.

The country is different. The demographics are different. The diversity, ethnic and gender are different and all in favor of the Democratic candidate like Kamala Harris. The candidate is different. I know Hillary Clinton. I've met Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris ain't no Hillary Clinton. And I don't mean that in a bad way. I appreciated Hillary. I supported her. I fundraised for her. I met her. I brought people to the polls for her. I'm a Democrat. Kamala Harris in 2024 is the perfect

candidate in a way that somebody like Hillary wouldn't be. And if Corey, who's a misogynist based on the reporting that's happened so far, an abuser of women, somebody who thinks immigrants and immigrants with Down syndrome are funny, much like his boss Donald Trump who mocks people with physical disabilities, which he did with a New York Times reporter, who mocks people who stutter, who mocks people who have physical limitations, who attacks women. That was proven in the E. Jean Carroll case where they had three other witnesses besides E. Jean Carroll talk about their terrible interactions with Donald Trump, where he groped them, sexually assaulted them, tried to kiss them, abused them in all different ways.

The same person who said in the Access Hollywood hot mic moment that he could abuse women physically, grab them by their genitalia and get away with it, because he was a celebrity. Of course, that's who's going to hire Corey Lewandowski. But Corey Lewandowski, you know, he's got a cracked compass. He can't navigate against Kamala Harris. His brain will explode. A woman of color, accomplished, qualified, leadership on display? Who's also a woman of color vice president? Former attorney general?

A lawyer, a prosecutor against his guy? Come on. I welcome, I sound like Tim Walz now. Bring it. Bring it, bring it. If Corey Lewandowski wants to get off the couch and go after and lead the charge as the lead general for Donald Trump into battle, we as Democrats and progressives and thinking people

and libertarians and independents should welcome it. So as a kid, I loved eating cereal, but as an adult, I don't want all that sugar and most cereals don't give me the protein I need. Then I found Magic Spoon, a nostalgically delicious cereal that tastes just like my childhood favorites, but without the sugar and with a ton of protein. And if you're already a Magic Spoon fan, I got big news. Magic Spoon has turned their super popular cereal

into high protein treats that are light, crispy, and taste just like those classic crunchy cereal bars.

And if it is the Beatles, we're missing John Lennon and George Harrison. And you know what that means.

The American people aren't gonna fall for this. Corey Lewandowski can't think its way out of a paper bag when it comes to how to defeat Kamala Harris and the momentum and the surge. Okay? And the fact that Donald Trump is gonna lean on him as his personal envoy tells you all you need to know. I said it a prior hot take,

whatever happened in Butler, Pennsylvania to Donald Trump and the concussive event that happened, where a bullet got really close to his head and his noggin, look at what he did. If you don't think he had PTSD or some sort of physical impairment that has accelerated the losing of his mental faculties and dementia, besides watching him at more along press conferences, besides watching him attack

black journalists at a black journalist event he arranged, besides watching him at Bedminster at his news conference where he took very little questions and rambling. Look at his first major decision coming out of Butler, Pennsylvania, JD Vance. JD Vance, JD Vance, which was such a terrible decision that Donald Trump is considering shaking up his campaign in order to kiss the backside and the ring of white supremacists like Nick Fuentes. Nick Fuentes, who Donald Trump is a white supremacist who supports the Proud Boys, who supports the Oath Keepers, who supported the March on Charlottesville, had dinner with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago,

Kanye West was nearby, that Nick Fuentes is pissed off and upset. Talk about, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, oh, sorry, because Donald Trump picked JD Vance and JD Vance is happily married to the love of his life who happens, whoop, whoop. Oh, sorry, because Donald Trump picked JD Vance and JD Vance is happily married to the love of his life who happens to be an Indian American woman. Wrong color skin for Nick Fuentes and the white supremacists. Wrong country of origin for their immigration policy. Nick Fuentes wants Donald Trump in order for him to deliver the votes,

he wants Donald Trump to kiss his ass. He's made it clear on his podcast where he said out loud, clamp down on all immigration and immigration to America. Okay. What else do you want? Okay. Interesting. What else do you want? Also, we want a war with Iran, Iran immediately. War with Iran, stop all immigration, and replace Suzy Wiles and Chris LaCivita as your campaign director because you're losing. I'm not saying that Donald Trump is going to follow directly the instructions of Nick Fuentes, white supremacist, but you do the math. As you watch Donald Trump fire in slow motion, this sort of quiet quitting, forced firing of La Savita and Wiles with the replacement of Corey Lewandowski. I'm sure Corey Lewandowski and Nick Fuentes will get along just fine given how Corey's outburst and mocking tone about immigrants with ailments like Down syndrome.

Let me read to you from thedemocrats.org in their response. Donald Trump is bringing back ultra MAGA creep Corey Lendowski to his inner circle. Again, that is a good thing. Here's what the rapid response team, Alex Floyd said about this. Donald Trump loves to double down on a losing strategy. Trump is surrounding himself with people who share his values, namely crooks, convicts, and creeps. There's the three Cs. So it's no surprise that he's bringing back Corey, the fourth C, Lewandowski, back into the fold, a disgraced low life, this is Democrats.org by the way, who face criminal charges for battery against

a journalist and a police complaint for sexual assault. I've described them here on the hot take. The company Trump keeps should tell voters everything they need to know that he's entirely unfit for office. And just so you show, even Donald Trump fell in love with Corey Lewandowski in 2021 after he stalked, attacked, said vulgar, lewd things to a Republican fundraiser's wife. That's when he got fired from the pro-Trump super PAC in 2021 when he went after Trichelle Oda, which I described.

2016, he yanked the arm of a reporter, Michelle Fields, at a Trump campaign event. The charges were dropped, but he was the campaign director at the time. And then of course, there was video of him doing it. And then of course, you've got Lewandowski's firm getting paid for management consulting by Trump organization all this time. And he had a role in the Republican National Convention just this year, so it's sort of the return of Corey Lewandowski. Like I said, during his press conference or whatever that was at Bedminster, Donald Trump only holds press conferences at his golf courses, usually in

places that aren't battleground states. Very weird. While Kamala Harris is out in all battleground states, every moment, everywhere, all at the same time. And so he was there, they asked him, well, what's Corey Lewandowski's role going to be? Mr. Ex-President. He's always going to be a personal envoy. Look out, Suzy Wilds. Look out, La Savita. And Donald Trump going on network television

and social media saying he has a lot of confidence in both La Savita and Wilds. He thinks they're doing a great job. That's what happens. You've seen that in sport, right? The owner says, you know, 10 hours, 12 hours, a day before he fires the manager, that he has a lot of confidence in the manager's ability to turn things around.

And then the next day they're announcing, well, it didn't work, he's gonna spend more time with his family. You're gonna hear the Lassa Vita and Wiles are gonna be spending more time with their family and that they're out of Trump world. It's a good thing that the creep, Corey Lewandowski, is back and is going to be directing traffic for Donald Trump. Mark my words. We'll follow it all here on the Midas Touch Network, Legal AF.
