Whoever this fake Trump prisoner is that broke the motorcade protective barrier at the Miami Courthouse, I want to shake his hand.
Former President Donald Trump belongs in jail.

Prominent pollster Frank Luntz, known for his work with Republican candidates, has issued a grave warning to the American public regarding the potential resurgence of former President Donald Trump. In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Luntz expressed his revised perspective, admitting that Trump could indeed be elected president once again—a statement he previously dismissed just a year ago.
Luntz attributed this shift in his view to the mishandling of the legal cases against Trump and the incompetence of his domestic opponents. Specifically, he highlighted the poorly executed search of Mar-a-Lago and the indictment in New York as factors that have inadvertently strengthened Trump’s position. Luntz asserted that these circumstances have not only made Trump a viable candidate in the Republican primary but also in the general election.
I now have to acknowledge that it is a distinct possibility that Donald Trump could be elected president – I did not believe that one year ago,” Luntz told Bourke. In the interview, published Monday, Luntz argued that Trump’s domestic opponents and the way the court cases against him have been handled have dealt Trump back in and given him a real shot at winning another general election.
“I did not believe that the search of Mar-a-Lago would be handled so badly, I did not believe that the indictment of him in New York would be handled so badly,” Luntz argued, adding:
I did not believe that his opponents would be so inept as to actually strengthen him and the combination of all of those makes him now viable, not just in the Republican primary but in the general election.
The pollster went even further, characterizing Trump’s potential run in 2024 as an existential threat to American democracy. Luntz grimly quantified the odds, suggesting a 15 percent likelihood of the country’s disintegration depending on the outcome. He painted a bleak picture, warning of potential consequences such as NATO being in jeopardy, the withdrawal of American support for Ukraine, and the fragility of the U.S. legal system. Luntz lamented the situation, comparing the seemingly unimaginable events to the downfall of great empires throughout history.
Luntz highlighted the dangers of media silos and the erosion of shared facts in the country, emphasizing that democracy cannot thrive without a foundation of truth. He stressed that the rejection of truth poses a significant threat to the democratic system, as voters’ ability to make informed decisions is compromised. Lamenting the current state of affairs, Luntz underscored the crucial role of truth-seeking in preserving democracy, expressing concern that the country is currently at a critical juncture.
