GOP Strategist Rick Wilson Torches Republicans With Scathing Trump Loyalty Rules
Republican strategist Rick Wilson called out members of his own party on Wednesday for their blind fealty to President Donald Trump, and gave them a list of new rules to follow to prove their devotion.
Wilson pointed to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who on Wednesday compared Trump’s sniffle-riddled comments on the military escalation with Iran to President Ronald Reagan’s famous 1987 speech at the Berlin Wall.
“This speech will be talked about long after his second term,” Graham said on Fox News. “This is on par with ‘tear down this wall, Mr. Gorbachev.’”
Wilson said that type of over-the-top praise was part of the “Saddamification” of his party. Then, he proposed a set of new rules for Republicans to follow to show their loyalty:
1/ The assertion by Lindsay Graham that today’s bizarre performance by Sniffles The Clown was on par with “Tear Down This Wall” is part of the Saddamification of the GOP.

2/
- Never be the first guy to stop clapping when Trump speaks.
- It is always the Year Zero; memory and consistency is the enemy of loyalty in the Trump world.
- Your superlatives are insufficient. Praising Trump properly demands a new vocabulary of obsequiousness.— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) January 9, 2020
3/ - Your humiliation in his service will asymptotically approach infinity, with the pain and shame mounting but never reaching the sweet release of death.
- Never tell him the truth. He is the tallest, most handsome, brilliant, and richest man in the room.— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) January 9, 2020
4/ - Even when he’s wrong (and he’s almost always wrong), race for the TV cameras to proclaim that you and everyone else was simply unable to grasp the sublime complexity of his 47-dimensional chess game.
