Poor Mike Lindell.

Well, he’s not poor, yet. But he’s definitely headed in the wrong direction. We are talking about a guy that had to sell one of his private jets. Damn, having to slum it in first-class is just downright pedestrian. Someone should have told Mike that you can’t miss what you’ve never had. Maybe he should have held off on the plane.

Had he held off on the plane he might be slightly less desperate for money now. But it appears to everyone with the brains God gave a horse (with paste!) that Lindell is shedding money like a shedding horse. He desperately needs his ads to run on stations stuffed with some true believers, stations like Fox. But Fox won’t have him, according to the Daily Beast:

“They denied that one anyway!” he complained, according to The Daily Beast. “We got a message from them on Monday, Sept. 13, that they did not like the content of FrankSpeech dot com…They went from not liking the content of the ad to not liking the content of the website!”

In one way, Mike Lindell is a damned impressive person. He hauled himself out of cocaine and crack addiction to become a highly successful businessman worth north of $300 million (at one point), which is an inspiring story no matter how tacky the business and how revolting a political figure he might be. We respect him for that part of his story.

But it is interesting because no one makes that kind of turnaround in life without an appreciation for the consequences that can result from a few bad decisions. Mike’s support of Trump is a bad decision in our mind, but we’ll let that go. Donating money to Trump is a bad decision in our mind, but we’ll let that go. Becoming the face of a batshit insane effort to get “reinstated” when that was never ever going to happen, cannot be let go and Fox News agrees.

It is not like anyone at this site feels bad for him. It is just mystifying that he seems surprised about any of this. One cannot do what he did without some rudimentary judgment and it appears to have left him a year ago. Regardless, we have some current struggling addicts that get our sympathies, not Mike.
