Please allow me to translate Grampy's enthusiastic testimonial for Todd Blanche into actual words that reflect reality

Trump was heading to an event in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and boarding Air Force One when a reporter at Joint Base Andrews asked him about the ultimatum from Tillis, who plans to retire at the end of his term in January 2027 and has made it clear that Blanche needs to disavow the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrectionists for him to consider approving him as attorney general.

"Senator Tillis is a loser," Trump said. "That’s why he didn’t run. He didn’t run because I wouldn’t support him. And he’s just an angry man because he’s not gonna be a senator any longer. He wasn’t respected in the Senate. He fought a lot of people, he fought Pete Hegseth, Pete Hegseth turned out to be a gem. Senator Tillis is a loser. Stone cold.... He was forced to leave the Senate because I wouldn’t support him, and he quit. So now he’s trying to make trouble."

"Todd Blanche is a brilliant guy who everybody likes, everybody respects,” Trump added. “[Tillis is] not qualified; he’s not good for the position."

THE TRANSLATION:

"Todd Blanche is a brilliant guy who everybody likes, everybody respects,” Trump added.

1). Todd Blanche is a brilliant guy

Todd's a moron who could not find his own ass with a flashlight, funnel, mirror and sherpa, but he kisses MY ass, which is brilliant

2). who everybody likes

No one likes Todd. I don't even like Todd but I'll pretend I do as long as he keeps me out of prison and punishes my enemies

3). everybody respects

Sure, the Republicans are fucking weak and ignorant, but they're smart enough to be afraid of anyone kissing my ass
