Fox News host Laura Ingraham says Americans are 'exhausted' from political conflict and might think it's 'time to turn the page' on Trump


Fox News host Laura Ingraham said on Monday that American voters are "exhausted" from political conflict and might believe it's "time to turn the page" on former President Donald Trump if he runs for the White House in 2024.

While Ingraham still spoke in favor of Trump's policies and defended his decisions, the longtime vocal supporter of the former president signaled some doubt about whether Republican voters would choose Trump in favor of another strong GOP candidate.

"People conflate Trump with people's overall sense of happiness in the country. Donald Trump's been a friend of mine for 25 years, and I'm always very open about this on my show," Ingraham said on a podcast hosted by Lisa Boothe, a Fox News contributor.

"But, you know, we'll see whether that's what the country wants," Ingraham continued. "The country, I think, is so exhausted — they're exhausted by the battle, the constant battle — that they may believe that, well, maybe it's time to turn the page if we can get someone who has all of Trump's policies, who's not Trump."

Wow.

[Skittles]

1. it's like someone said

the arsonist desperately looking for the fire extingisher

[Kablooie]

2. This means she thinks he's gonna go down.

She's a rat-person jumping off the sinking ship.

Does this man the Fox News has turned the corner.
If all the Fox News hosts tell their viewers to drop Trump, they will, immediately.

[PortTack]

3. I think Beau of the fifth column nailed this a month ago.

Volodomor rupert has given his marching orders. It isn’t that he doesn’t like dotard, it’s because the primaries are right around the corner and he wants all the gqp candidates to feel warm and fuzzy about fux and buy their air time there. Why cater to one, when you can have them all! Follow the money!

[Haggard Celine]

4. And in walks DeSantis to take the crown and place it on his own head.

[patricia92243]

7. Yep!

[Beautiful Disaster]

8. Trump won't get behind him.

Republicans are in for an outright war if that happens. Trump isn't going to back DeSantis, especially if he runs himself. All it takes is to tell his 35% support to not vote for DeSantis or vote for a chosen third party candidate, and the Republicans are cooked in 2024.

[SergeStorms]

17. Everyone whose name isn't Trump....

are RINOs, according to The Donald. He is now the only true republican in the United States, according to His Assholiness.

I don't care if Trump tears the republican party to shreds as long as he doesn't take the country along with him.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

5. DeathSantis...warming up in the bullpen.

[captain queeg]

6. Adios Donny

https://m.

[brush]

9. It's happening. She had to have gotten the ok from Murdoch...

to voice that on the air. trump is not just exhausting, he's toast now for FOX to be saying this.

[SergeStorms]

18. If that was true....

Hannity and the rest would be following suit. They're not. Unless there's a major shift from all of Fox's "entertainers" to dump Trump, they're acting independently.

[brush]

22. Even some of the FOX morning hosts are echoing this.

trump is toast and the J6 Committee and DOJ coming down on him for stealing national security documents just shows the walls are closing in on him.

Then there's the Atlanta DA, the NY AG...ya need a program just to keep track of all trump's crimes.

[calimary]

25. Well somebody has to stick their neck out first.

I don’t care who. All I care about is that somebody starts it.

[SergeStorms]

27. How will that effect their viewers?

I'm buying SAMSUNG stock right now. There's going to be a lot of smashed TVs in republican homes nationwide. They will - in the vernacular - lose their shit.

[calimary]

29. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!

I have very little sympathy or tolerance for people who allowed themselves to be taken in by that Pathological Liar.

It's certainly "shame on him." But I've also gotta go with "shame on THEM, TOO!" The truth is out there. All his claims and statements have been debunked. And despite all that hard evidence, some of those souls just WON'T be saved.

I guess they're like the proverbial horses that you lead to water, but can't make them drink.

[Mike Nelson]

10. Hmm...

... interesting. The premise is a total lie, of course, and she knows it's a lie. She makes her millions on extreme "political conflict." The Ronald will be another Donald... that's where he's made his bed. And, honestly, he can't pull a Youngkin and put on sheep's' clothing. The Donald and the Ronald don't wear sheep's clothing. It doesn't fit. So, Ingraham is making up a false premise, and one that goes against her significant wealth source. But, bombastic BS is her game!

[patricia92243]

11. If she really did get marching orders from Murdock, she will do as she is told.

Murdock letting her go would be the end for her.

[Mike Nelson]

12. Yes...

... end of a paycheck. No mainstream net would have her, and upstarts like Newsmax can't pay as much...

[keep_left]

15. And she probably has a year-long non-compete clause...

...in her Fox contract. She's not getting any younger.

[SouthernDem4ever]

30. I wonder what the non-compete clause would say

"you're not allowed to get on another network and lie for at least 12 months"

[The Third Doctor]

13. That's what many of us are trying to do.

But his cult and many in the media make it hard.

[NNadir]

14. "All of Trumps policies..." I know which of those is near to the space...

...where her heart might have been.

Virulent racism.

[SergeStorms]

19. Don't forget....

endless tax cuts for the wealthy.

[JohnnyRingo]

16. He'll start the MAGA Party with talk like that.

From that point on, we'll never see another republican in office, including dog catcher.

[calimary]

26. Works for me.

[JohnnyRingo]

34. I know!

Imagine if half the GOP moves over to the MAGA party.
That's why everyone from Mitch to McCarthy is kissing his ass and praying for a heart attack.

[mwb970]

20. I was sick of him before he got to the bottom of the escalator.

[CaptainTruth]

21. "someone who has all of Trump's policies, who's not Trump"... like DeSantis

I'm convinced a lot of Rethuglicans will be fine with leaving Trump behind if he's seen as being more trouble than he's worth to them, but not abandoning Trumpism, they'll just transfer their loyalty to DeSantis.

[Paladin]

23. Genuinely significant. (nt)

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. No, its just that SHE is exhausted from daily trying to carry his water

Every time he engages in a new scandal, she has to get back on the horse and spend all day blaming Democrats. Its tough.

And uh...
"Donald Trump's been a friend of mine for 25 years, and I'm always very open about this on my show"

I know its pretty obvious she is shilling for him, but I for one, have never seen a clip of her prefacing any of her opinion pieces with "BTW I am a personal friend of Donald Trump"

And of course that's all in her mind. Its not reciprocal. He may like how she's debasing herself for him every day, but if she thinks Donald is a 10/10, he thinks of her as a 3/10. In looks of course, which is how he judges all women.

[Mr.Bill]

28. Turn the page? Hell no!

I'm ready to shit on the page and rip it out of the book. I want retribution. We need to relentlessly pursue justice.

[SouthernDem4ever]

31. yes, we should not rule out jail

which is really where trump belongs. She can visit him and bring cookies.

[Sneederbunk]

32. Not only will we turn the page, but will throw the book at him.

[czarjak]

33. Another Trump is what she said "we" need.
