WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump said that he “shouldn’t have left” the White House in 2020 during a wide-ranging speech in Pennsylvania on Sunday morning in which he also escalated violent rhetoric toward the news media.

“We had the safest border in the history of our country the day that I left,” Trump told supporters midway through his more than 90-minute speech, citing his endorsement from a major border patrol union.

“I shouldn't have left,” he added, “because we did so well.”

Trump lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden by 74 electoral votes in the Electoral College.

I just caught a rerun of an old miniseries version of A Tale of Two Cities. Can’t you just see Trump cowering in one of the towers of the Bastille as Madame Defarge hunts him down?? I’d love to see that 😆

...that if Trump would have refused to leave the White House on January 20, 2021, about five minutes later there would have been a Secret Service officer shaking a bag of Quarter Pounders out on the front porch yelling, "Mr. President, come out and eat up before these get cold."
