“You Can’t Keep Doing This To Us” Trump Supporters Erupt in Fury Over Divisive New Endorsement

Donald Trump’s latest endorsement for Missouri’s gubernatorial race has ignited a backlash among his staunch supporters. On Saturday, the former president attempted to navigate the complex political waters of Missouri’s gubernatorial race, but his effort to hedge his bets left many of his followers feeling disillusioned.

Earlier in the day, Trump spoke at a Bitcoin conference, where he faced criticism for what some attendees described as an “old authoritarian trick.” His speech, which many found “rambling” and “embarrassing,” did little to bolster his standing among the audience. “It was disappointing to see him so unfocused,” one attendee commented on social media. “We expected more substance.”

Following the conference, Trump traveled to Minnesota for a rally, but it was his prior statement on Truth Social that truly set the stage for controversy. Trump attempted to endorse multiple candidates for Missouri’s gubernatorial race, a move that backfired spectacularly. “I love the State of Missouri for every reason in the book, including the fact that it is ‘loaded up’ with truly GREAT people,” Trump declared.

“I also like Endorsing Candidates for Office if I think they’re good, and usually there is a differentiation, usually a big one, where it is not that difficult to do.” He then continued with his contentious endorsement: “But Missouri has three great people running for Governor – Jay Ashcroft, Mike Kehoe, and Bill Eigel. All have had excellent careers, and have been with me from the beginning.

They are MAGA and America First all the way! I can’t hurt two of them by Endorsing one so, therefore, I’m going to Endorse, for Governor of the Great State of Missouri, Jay Ashcroft, Mike Kehoe, and Bill Eigel. Choose any one of them – You can’t go wrong!”

The reaction from Trump’s base was swift and harsh. Supporters took to social media to express their dissatisfaction with his non-committal stance. “Please President Trump, they are not all good!” one disgruntled supporter wrote. “Eigel is the only choice for Missouri! You can’t keep doing this to us.”

The uproar highlights a growing frustration among Trump’s supporters who expect clear and decisive endorsements.

One political analyst noted, “Trump’s attempt to play it safe by endorsing all three candidates has only muddied the waters and alienated a portion of his base. They want strong leadership and definitive choices, not ambiguity.”

As Trump continues to navigate the political landscape, this latest misstep underscores the challenges he faces in maintaining the unwavering support of his followers.

The former president’s ability to galvanize his base with clear, strong endorsements remains critical, and any perception of wavering could prove costly. “We need a leader who stands firm,” another supporter lamented. “This was a disappointment we didn’t see coming.”
