Not that anyone was really asking for it (OK, maybe some people here and there were asking for it), but last night, Donald Trump put the speculation surrounding his big announcement to rest and confirmed at Mar a Lago that he is indeed running for president once again in 2024. Hopefully his campaign will turn out to be one of those that not only kicks off early, but flames out early, too. He had his turn. Time to give someone else a chance. Hopefully someone who won’t lose to an old coot with pudding for brains and then spend the next several years throwing conspiratorial temper tantrums.
Aaaaaaanyway, you may have noticed that even some of his most vocal defenders are rolling their eyes and shaking their heads at Trump’s announcement, just as they were when he started going after Ron DeSantis — a guy who could actually beat a Democrat in a presidential race — last week. For what it’s worth, the New York Post couldn’t really be categorized as a rah-rah-MAGA-Donald-Trump-is-the-greatest outlet, so it makes sense that they’d be over him by now.
Well, they’re really extra-super-duper over him now:

Their frustration and exhaustion is palpable. It’s also extremely relatable.
NYPost not interested in Season 2 https://t.co/yT70KjSyyy

Season 1 was difficult enough.
The Post, like the rest of us, is tired of the lazy sequels https://t.co/5Ssh9iihyq

They’re legit over this guy.

Totally understandable.
Brutal, necessary, and appropriate https://t.co/zRqvX2ozz1

When they’re right, they’re right.

Update:
They actually set the tone for their write-up on the cover:
The New York Post neutered the Trump presidential announcement in the most savage way imaginable. (Look at the bottom) pic.twitter.com/DQto9d3ft8
