48. A repeating pattern

Fri May 15, 2026, 03:45 PM

1 hr ago

1. Politician (Graham, Rubio, Vance, Fetterman, et al) is extremely outspoken against and highly critical of Trump

2. Politician meets privately with Trump at Mar-a-Lago

3. Politician changes their positions 180 degrees and becomes strong defender of Trump

Nothing to see here folks. Don't start with the conspiracy theories.
