Trump Toadies Hail the GOP Nominee as Unbeatable, Iconic
Newly anointed and “reborn” GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump heads to a rally in Michigan on Saturday, embodying what his apostles are calling the most pivotal American political figure since Abraham Lincoln.
“Donald Trump is now recognized as the most important figure in American politics since the Civil War,” a high-ranking GOP strategist told the Daily Beast late Friday over a celebratory martini at an upscale bar across the street from the convention arena in Milwaukee.
As the former president’s most devoted foot soldiers began pouring into the bar after the staff performed a ritual of whipped cream espresso shots to dial in for the rush, the mood turned from jubilant to downright grandiose.
