Many of those close to former US President Donald Trump have turned against him and become against his candidacy, which means, according to a report by the American news site "Business Insider", that Trump's "distinguished brand" has been damaged while he is doing his best to return to the presidency.

The site said in a report that the results of the midterm elections last November contradicted Trump's optimistic expectations, which many of his close allies considered a message that makes it necessary for the Republicans to choose another candidate for the 2024 presidency or risk defeat.

The site listed 6 people who said they were among Trump's most important allies before they turned against him.

  • First: Attorney General Bill Barr, who severed his relationship with Trump when he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 elections

Barr now finds that "among the current pool of potential Republican candidates, Trump is the person least capable of uniting the party and most likely to lose the general election."

  • Second: Mike Pence, his loyal vice president who has been moving away from his line and getting closer to opposing him

By refusing to help Trump in his bid to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election, Pence enraged the former president.

In a recent interview with ABC, Pence described Trump's words and actions on January 6, 2021 as "reckless," adding that the president's words on the day of storming Congress "put me, my family, and everyone in the Capitol at risk."

  • Third: Mike Pompeo, the former Secretary of State, is highly critical of Trump

Although Pompeo did not criticize Trump by name, he seemed to mock him when he tweeted after the midterm elections, mocking Trump's boast before the 2016 election that Republicans would have to succeed under him in order to succeed: "We're told we'll get tired of winning, but I I'm tired of losing, and that's how most Republicans are."

  • Fourth: Chris Christie, who was previously close to Trump and says today that the former president is dragging the Republican Party into the abyss

Christie has been criticizing Trump to the point of sarcasm, as she said in a television interview that the former president promised the Republicans in 2016 to win and then win and win until they got tired of winning, and "no one at the time realized that he meant the Democrats," according to Christie, the former governor of New Jersey.

  • Fifth: Stephanie Grisham, the White House press secretary who resigned after the 2020 Capitol riots

She said she regretted working with Trump, whom she called a "con man," and called on the Republican Party to distance itself from Trump in the wake of the midterm elections.

  • Sixth: John Bolton, the former national security adviser who said that Trump's second term would be "objectionable."

Bolton wrote his memoirs shortly after leaving the Trump administration, describing the chaos and imbalance in that administration, and finally stating that he would run for the Republican presidential primaries if Trump ran;

Nothing but to make it clear to the American people that Donald Trump is no longer acceptable as a candidate for the presidency of the United States.
