President Donald Trump choke-slammed Republican strategist Karl Rove with words on Thursday after Rove criticized Trump’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) speech as being “hollow.”
Trump referred to Rove as a “pompous fool with bad advice,” and added that he is a RINO (Republican in name only).
“Karl Rove has been losing for years, except for himself,” the former POTUS said. “He’s a RINO of the highest order, who came to the Oval Office lobbying for 5G for him and a group.”
“After a lengthy discussion with Rove and Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, I said no, they’re not qualified. Our Nation can do much better!” Trump added.
“Karl would be much more at home at the disastrous Lincoln Project. I heard they have numerous openings!” Trump continued, referring to high numbers of resignations from the anti-Trump group after the harassment allegations against co-founder John Weaver.

The Hill reports:
The former president defended his performance at CPAC, writing, “31 million people listened to my CPAC speech online, and it had among the largest television audience of the week, even though it was on cable at 4pm on Sunday afternoon.”
According to ratings reported by CNN, Fox News averaged 5.74 million viewers during Trump’s speech, with at least 1.5 million others watching on Newsmax.
In his Wall Street Journal opinion piece published Wednesday, Rove wrote that Trump’s CPAC speech did little to mobilize members of the GOP because there “was no forward-looking agenda, simply a recitation of his greatest hits."
Rove argued that Trump is losing momentum among the party, refuting his claim that his “endorsement is the most powerful asset in politics,” by pointing out that “181 of the 213 winning Republicans ran ahead of him, including eight in the 14 closest races that gave the GOP its pickups.”
“These results reinforce that Mr. Trump’s drawing power is a double-edged sword,” Rove declared. “Yes, he received 11.2 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016 — but also helped turn out 15.4 million more to oppose him, losing by 7.1 million.”

He added that “elements of Mr. Trump’s speech were fine” but that most of it was “divisive, controversial and embittered parts dominated the coverage.”
“He might be pleased by that, but shouldn’t be,” Rove concluded. “Republicans shouldn’t be either.”
