Well, they say if it happens once it’s definitely a fluke, if it happens twice it is a coincidence, but if it happens three times it’s definitely a pattern. Donald Trump’s most recent endorsements have been failing to swing elections of all sorts. His endorsements seem to be hurting Republican Party candidates’ aspirations of clinching electoral seats.

No one knows this better than Roy Moore(R). He was endorsed by Trump in 2017 but lost to now Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) down in Alabama. Trump himself sought re-election in 2020, lost fair and square but still refuses to acknowledge this.

To further accelerate his losing streak, he went on to cast his losing shadow of an endorsement on the duo Kelly Loeffler(R), and David Perdue(R) who consecutively lost to their Democratic challengers Raphael Warnock (D) and Jon Ossoff(D) not to mention that Trump flew to Georgia to personally drum up support for the two.

Trump was quick to save face on those occasions by his usual denials of reality and placing blame on the left, weak Republicans, Rino’s, China, or whichever name his brain can conjure up at the given moment.
