Trump’s close friend makes a fool of herself on TV
Republican Sarah Palin is known for her verbal gaffes. Now Trump’s close friend wants to explain a phenomenon — and he’s firing up a storm.
Sometimes she calls North Korea an “ally,” other times she wants to be able to see Russia from Alaska: Sarah Palin tends to make a mistake. And the conservative Republican has hardly appeared publicly in the past without making headlines with her knowledge gaps or verbal lapses.
After the 59-year-old lay quiet for a while, Donald Trump’s election campaign is back on top of the scene again. She appears increasingly as a political commentator in the conservative right-wing media. That was also the case last Wednesday at Newsmax after Trump’s court date. In a live interview, Palin wanted to defend the Republican presidential candidate. She proved her foolishness again.
The medium reported on the following scene of the meeting between Trump and his supporters: Trump goes to a famous restaurant in Miami. There he is cheered and celebrated by his followers. They sing Happy Birthday, take pictures, and clap. Trump is jovial, waving and calling „food for all.”
The amazing thing is that the former US President has just returned from an important court session. There he had to answer 37 charges. Some of them weigh so heavy that they could face a hundred years in prison (read more here). His followers still celebrate it. Some experts in the United States see this critically – the spectacle is a symbol of Trump’s influence on his supporters and is tantamount to a personality cult.
Palin: “The definition of worship is…”
Palin, who is close to Trump, has faced the accusation. Is the behavior of the eccentric supporters of the former president similar to that of a sectarian religious cult? Palin immediately denies it — and enlightens viewers on what constitutes a cult:
„The definition of a cult is a group of people who are overly supportive of each other and cause includes conformity, following the rules, and intolerance of anyone who does not agree with their mission,” Palin said.
Palin spreads malice
For many viewers, Palin’s statements sound like a joke – in their opinion, the general definition of cult accurately reflects the behavior of Trump fans.
„Sarah Palin perfectly describes a Trump cult while denying that the Trump world is a cult,” a Ron DeSantis supporter wrote on Twitter, drawing attention to the inconsistency in her statements. DeSantis is currently Trump’s biggest domestic rival in the race for the US presidency next year.
„Oh my God, you got it!” wrote another user on Twitter. „Apart from the first 'no’…everything else fits perfectly! Congratulations, Sarah!”
Republican politician Michael Steele shared a video of a British reporter being called a „traitor” by Trump supporters at the restaurant. The reporter asked Trump if he was ready to go to jail. „You mean like that?” Steele wrote to Palin with the clip.
Trump and Palin have a lot in common
Sarah Palin once made a name for herself in the United States as a symbol of the radically conservative and populist Tea Party movement and as a Republican vice-presidential candidate. From 2006 to 2009 she was the governor of Alaska. Trump backed Palin last year in a bid for a political comeback. However, the 59-year-old failed to race for a congressional seat in the House of Representatives.
Trump and Palin have a lot in common: They both rant similarly about liberal elites, propagate ultra-conservative views, and rant against the media and present themselves as politically incorrect. In her role as running mate to presidential candidate John McCain in the 2008 US election, Palin divided Republicans and contributed significantly to the party’s shift to the right.

The Vice Admiral told the German news agency ( DPA: “People can guarantee this in the long run.”
