THIS IS A THING THAT TRUMP SAID

Spoiler alert: It’s moronic

“Don’t kid yourself, those numbers in California and numerous other states, they’re rigged. You got people voting that shouldn’t be voting. They vote many times, not just twice, not just three times. They vote — it’s like a circle. They come back; they put a new hat on. They come back; they put a new shirt. And in many cases, they don’t even do that. You know what’s going on. It’s a rigged deal.”

That he is so thoroughly ignorant of the voting experience that he could think anyone would believe this was possible is otherworldly. More importantly, though, that the media pays this intellectual, emotional and moral moron even the faintest whiff of respect is repulsive. And that they will undoubtedly treat his claims of a rigged election if he loses as a legitimate position to take is so far beneath contemptible as to be looking up at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

Read it again. This is the President of the United States explaining voting as he understands it. America is the punch line of the planet.

Wow. This is a powerful piece, and I can’t disagree with a word of it. I used to think that Trump was just a bad joke, but that was before COVID-19 and yes, it appears he is pure evil.
I’m going to link this to my blog so hopefully more people will…
