Fox News Laura Ingraham offered former President Donald Trump some advice on Wednesday night that he will never follow.
Trump declared his candidacy for the 2024 Republican nomination in November.
"Now, if I were Trump and running his campaign, I'd strongly urge him to stop talking about 2020," Ingraham began. "It's over. Enough. Marinating in old claims of election fraud will not win over a single voter in any state that he needs to win in 2024."
She further advised Trump to "reassure voters that you can win," as an on-screen graphic put it. However, Trump seems to think that the best way to do that is to continue to claim he did win in 2020. To this day, the former president falsely insists the election was stolen from him.
"Surround yourself with givers, not takers," she added, saying Trump should hire "serious policy people" who will "run a tight ship." She told Trump to run against Democrats and not the media, which he habitually lashes out at.
"And maybe, just maybe drop the nicknames and the petty personal stuff," Ingraham concluded. "It was funny in 2016 and even in 2020, but I don't think it works with how serious the challenges are right now."
"Although," she added, "I think you should keep 'Sleepy Joe.' I like that one.
Ingraham's tips for Trump appear to be an offshoot of some post-midterm election remarks she made in November. The host appeared to take a veiled shot at Trump in a similarly-presented game plan for Republicans in general.
"Going to 2024, the Republicans are going to be looking for candidates who are focused on winning - not just making a point or settling a score," she said at the time. "If the voters conclude that you're putting your own ego or your own grudges ahead of what's good for the country, they're going to look elsewhere, period."

mass hilarity.
She doesnt seem to know who Donald Trump is, which is weird.
Neither do you, so.......
That alone should raise questions in the mind of anyone who would vote this miserable human being for PotUS. Really? One would vote for someone this irrational to the most powerful political office on the planet?
And if he is rational but just a lying sack of shit narcissist who believes that he can change reality be repeatedly lying, this is who one would vote to represent the USA on the world stage, to make decisions affecting hundreds of millions of people? How irresponsible can a voter be?
The GoP is dangerously close to nominating Trump. The GoP remains lost.
Their "argument" is basically that Trump is no worse than any other politician, which is denial of reality at the highest level.
I wish I could say there are brighter days in the near future, but that is a pipedream.
It is irrational. My best explanation for this bizarre stance is that by downplaying the extremes of Trump they believe they can make the GoP (and their own support) look less ridiculous. I think the opposite is true. Instead of playing the Trump game of foisting an alternate reality, the GoP should have ejected Trump after his Big Lie. At least after he left office. This strategic failure of the GoP will continue to take a toll on the party.

Isn’t that the message democrats and their special interest groups like the Lincoln project are pushing? Desantis is worse than trump Has been the talking point of the last three months.
How could any rational mind conclude otherwise with Trump? How over-the-top obvious must things be to register with some minds?

She's right in that regard. Fox has given up on Trump and will tout DeSantis going forward. Hopefully, Trump will be charged with some type of crime sometime soon, so he will be in a legal quagmire heading into the election cycle. That will put DeSantis ahead of pack when he announces.
I don’t agree. It was never funny. It was always juvenile and a national embarrassment. Every day that he continues it and gets support, that embarrassment persists.
Hey oil - try mixing with that water for once.
Ingraham exasperated? Why? She been in a coma for the past six years?
Nonetheless, I wish she'd publicly explain why she supports the candidates and party that gleefully will force chldbirth on a 12, 22, 32, 42 or even older person under penalty of law. And 'for the paycheck' is not a credible answer. There's got to be more to it than that.
