MAGA man says I reached "new low" for saying Trump was afraid of the cold
Joe from Texas was shocked that I would criticize Trump, who claimed to be worried about the temperatures in DC during the inauguration--which turned out be pretty normal for January.
We all know the real reason why Donald Trump moved the inauguration inside while latching onto the forecast of frigid weather as an excuse: He was petrified of what was shaping up to be a puny crowd size.
Trump surely saw the reports that hotels were not more than three-quarters reserved when they are usually 95% reserved for an inauguration.
They were at 95% for his first inauguration—but that also included the massive Women’s March and many protesters were staying in the hotels.
His turnout was laughable in 2016. And he knew the same thing would likely happen.

So Trump grabbed onto the weather report on Thursday of temperatures in the teens on Monday and snow the night before. But by Friday, after he’d announced the event would be moved inside the Capitol, the updated forecast accurately called for temperatures in the mid-twenties. (The forecast was still calling for snow—but in the end that didn’t happen either. Nor did the heavy winds. Inauguration day turned out to be sunny, in the mid-20s—a normal January day in Washington.)
And that’s when Joe from Texas called my SiriusXM show in response to my mocking the alpha male president who was now claiming it was too chilly, saying I’d hit a “new low.” Trump, he explained, was worried about everyone else—even though none of his non-billionaire MAGA cultists would be allowed inside, left out in the cold. As they had been at rallies in the past, stranded without buses.
Even Joe turned out to be a snowflake, eventually hanging up on me because his argument was on very thin ice.
This is a fun one. Listen in and let me know your thoughts!
Hi Mike, great fire in your shows over the past few days, love it. I thought you would appreciate the headline in today’s Arizona Republic, the largest paper in AZ… “Pardoned Arizonans thank God and Buy Guns” That’s a direct quote from convicted felon, the guy with the head dress with those horns. Now WTF are they doing buying guns and what will they use these guns for?🤮
Joe from Texas is a moron and I can't help but be gleeful that they got hammered with a damaging winter storm in Texas. Sorry not sorry.
