Trump fatigue has set: Post-election disruption plans suggests the pressure is getting to MAGA


Trump fatigue has set: Post-election disruption plans suggests the pressure is getting to MAGA
Trump — realizing he has nowhere to hide — looks to disrupt

(Salon) Donald Trump can be defeated.

He was in 2020, although he’ll never admit it. He was defeated by E. Jean Carroll in court when a New York jury in a civil case found him liable for sexual abuse. He was defeated in a Manhattan criminal court earlier this year and found guilty of 34 felony counts. And I defeated him in federal court three times when his administration tried to take away my White House press pass.

Donald Trump is a stone cold loser.

He knows it, and his minions know it. So they are, like they did four years ago, trying to manipulate the political machinery in the United States in the very likely event he loses again. These machinations include but are not limited to, trying to steal, suppress, discount, and refuse votes, as well as potentially encouraging armed resistance to congressional certification of the election.

To be blunt, under no circumstances will Donald Trump accept a defeat because to do so means that he will ultimately have to go to prison – and that’s the one thing Trump simply can’t accept. As one former Trump associate explains, Trump would rather go out in a blaze of inglorious violence.

I don’t see how Trump overcomes it. The Trump faithful may be saying, “I know you’re not good for me, but you’ve become a part of me,” as Martha and the Vandellas sang. But truth be told, at this point I think Trump’s tired old tropes are too tired to hustle a majority of Americans into voting for him – and more importantly, I don’t think his demented disinformation can effectively win the electoral college. ...............(more)

Aside from the playboy element he’s the one who set Gorka off making an ass of himself in the rose garden.
