In the endless saga of seasoned politicians and bureaucrats, some folks just don’t understand when it’s time to zip it. They had their shot at governing, didn’t exactly excel, and now want to lecture on Donald Trump—again. Take Mike Pence, for instance. Once a critical ally, he’s now trying to stay relevant by taking jabs at Trump from, of all places, Saudi Arabia. A curious spot to critique anyone’s loyalty to American values, especially with his plea wrapped in leftover political ambitions that America has frankly moved on from.
Then there’s Hillary Clinton, the forever runner-up, who’s been on this never-ending campaign since 2016. Despite her record of foreign policy blunders, like the mess she left behind in Libya, she perseveres. The real kicker? She still peddles the idea that only she can save democracy—talk about rewriting history. Her persistence in blaming everyone else for her failures is just exhausting. It’s high time the curtains closed on this act.
Echoes From the Dustbin: Why Yesterday’s Elites Won’t Shut Up About Trump https://t.co/GDLN7KNraH

Let’s not forget General Stanley McChrystal, once the Afghan warlord, now just one voice lost in the shuffle. He’s quick to call out others but sidesteps the mountain of evidence suggesting our military is losing its edge. He champions bureaucracy over battlefield prowess while ignoring the collapsing recruitment numbers and plummeting morale—all because it fits the narrative better.
Then there’s the swamp’s usual suspects like James Comey and John Brennan, who long for past glory days when their word was law. Now they show up on television, fretting about Trump like they didn’t play any part in the political circus that led us here. Their real grudge? Trump dared to disrupt their power structure, and they can’t handle it.
In today’s America, these so-called elite ghosts need to pack up their hollow warnings and let the people decide what’s best. Focusing on jobs, security, and real solutions instead of globalist agendas and stale rhetoric is where true leadership lies. So why do these figures refuse to fade away gracefully? Maybe it’s time they asked themselves if they’re really defending democracy or just trying to salvage their legacy—and for whom.
