Trump’s Election Obsession Has Reached New Heights | Talking Points Memo

Former President Donald Trump, animated by false grievances about a stolen election, is reportedly consumed with the idea that a sketchy ballot review piloted in Arizona and pushed by his supporters in other battleground states could back up his months-long rants about how he actually won the 2020 presidential election.

Trump’s Election Obsession Has Reached New Heights

Wouldn’t that be “New Lows”?

Unlike most ex-pResidents, he’s been reduced to a mumbling, grumbling second-rate wedding crasher who, once his golf courses are seized, won’t even be able to do that.

Sad.

I hope I am able to laugh at all of this in 2-4 years instead of being worried that 50% of our voting citizens start to believe this bullshit and act out accordingly at the local, state and federal levels.

It’s always been hard to know when someone like Trump is just acting or truly nuts but, at this point, I would definitely bet on nuts. The question is, exactly how many of his supporters are still just acting?

I agree. I don’t see how this ends well.

it’d be funny to get in the MAGAts’ collective heads and make them paranoid that all future tRUmp/my pillow rallies will be heavily surveilled by the deep state and they can expect knocks on the door any day, oh, and your job…

Reading about Israel makes me thankful that Trump has about a mouse turd worth of Bibi’s intelligence.

Smart play to work up the insanity defense well in advance of the criminal charges.

The orange carbuncle is being exploited by his enablers now; his only power is as a money magnet, drawing donations form the suckers. MyPillow Guy and the others are grifting off him, and will continue to do so until the whole mess comes crashing down. That will probably require indictments, because as each date for his return to power passes, they will just set up another strawman.

I wish I could be a fly on the wall.

I’ll tell you what’s really crazy—that 75 million people voted to give this freak another term.

I was always cynical that he was really nuts, but I’m starting to come around now. His deplorable supporters are true believers. Hawley et al. are just craven pieces of shit. They probably pray for his death every day.

The “former guy” is badly in need of an intervention. Unfortunately, everyone around him, including his worthless family and his family’s hangers-on (lookin’ at you Kimberly and Lara), is also in need of an intervention.

Honestly, the only things that warms my freaked-out heart is the thought of all the craven GOP 2024 contenders having to twist in the wind while they wait out Trump.

One adviser told the paper that anyone who reminds Trump of the truth — that he lost — “is p—— into the wind.”

Oh, come on…we’re all grownups here.

You can print “pissing into the wind”.

Delusional Narcissist is gonna do delusional stuff. Why do we act surprised, and give this so much air space?

OT: This is something we can actually do something about: Overhaul the VA. No more BS. The VA lies, lies, lies, while the Veterans die, die, die:

I have exactly the same anxiety. 74 million voted for this sociopath; that’s a terrifying number and they are Not going away.

And we’re still saddled with the electoral college.
