I hate to break it to Frank Luntz, but the only people who will care about Trump getting his assets seized are the die hard MAGAs who were going to vote for him anyway. Here's Luntz on CNN this week, warning NY Attorney General Tish James not to turn Trump into a victim.

BERMAN: All right, Frank, the politics of this. Folks in the Biden campaign are already starting to refer to Donald Trump as broke Don, which is interesting. And then there is the possibility that the New York Attorney General, Letitia James, would have to start or would start seizing assets, maybe even buildings. How do you think that would play?

FRANK LUNTZ, POLLSTER AND COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIST: I want you to remember this moment and don't forget it. If the New York Attorney General starts to take his homes away, starts to seize his assets, it's all going to be on camera. Pundits are going to sit there and scream about this, this man cannot be elected. You're going to create the greatest victimhood of 2024 and you're going to elect Donald Trump.

If they take his stuff, he's going to say that this is proof that the federal government and the establishment and the swamp in Washington and all the politicians across the country and the attorneys generals and all of this, that this is a conspiracy to deny him the presidency. He's going to go up in the polls just like he went up every single time they indicted him.

The indictment, let's not talk about whether it's justified or not, but it will prove the things that he's saying on the campaign trail and he will go up and it may just elect him president. Do not forget that. And I say this to the Attorney General right now, if you play politics on this, this is what the secretaries of state did in Colorado and what they did in, I believe, is Maine. His numbers went up in both states.

I don't understand. I'm almost speechless in how pathetic the opposition to Trump has been and how completely misguided and this is a perfect example of it.

So the court system holding him accountable is "pathetic" "opposition to Trump." The only thing "pathetic" about any of it is that it's taken as long as it has to go after him.

Here are some of the responses to Luntz's comments that were flagged by RepublicansAgainstTrump on Xitter:
