Earlier this 12 months, President Donald Trump introduced his administration’s hostile MAGA takeover of the John F. Kennedy Middle for the Performing Arts. Throughout his first go to to the D.C. arts establishment, after he ousted its management and primarily appointed himself chairman, he promoted his intention to revamp the middle with a MAGA overhaul that prioritizes right-wing, conservative-friendly artwork. (I’m imagining stick figures holding American flags and Child Rock live shows no person requested for.) Nicely, throughout his newest go to to the middle, Trump entertained his viewers of MAGA rubes who will imagine something that he says by resurrecting his factless, nonsensical, and evidence-deficient claims that the 2020 presidential race was rigged towards him—claims that, on the time, dozens of judges throughout decrease courts, appellate courts and the Supreme Courtroom, the previous head of election cybersecurity, Trump’s personal lawyer normal and the Division of Justice mentioned repeatedly had no benefit by any means.
The concept that the election had been rigged—that voting machines had been programmed to vary Trump votes into Joe Biden votes; that lifeless individuals had been being registered to vote Democrat; that election staff had been stuffing ballots in Biden’s favor—was by no means offered with a shred of tangible proof, and it has been debunked to loss of life, but, 5 years and one election win later, Trump remains to be pushing his “huge lie.”
Trump stood there in all of his petty, insecure absurdity and claimed the one cause he’s president now could be that he wanted to get his lick again after the presidency was stolen from him 4 and a half years in the past, which it unequivocally was not.
“After which they rigged the election, after which I mentioned, ‘You understand what I’ll do? I’ll run once more and I’ll shove it up their ass,’” he mentioned to the laughter of his supremely gullible viewers of idiots. “So if they’d’ve left us alone, and wouldn’t have cheated on the election, and wouldn’t have rigged it, I’d’ve been retired proper now. I’d’ve been fortunately doing one thing else. And as an alternative, they’ve me for 4 extra years. Are you able to imagine that?”
No, we are able to’t imagine it, as a result of there’s completely zero fact to it. Trump misplaced in 2020. He misplaced the favored vote by seven million and Joe Biden’s 306 electoral votes to his 232. This isn’t an opinion; it’s an undeniable fact.
However the actual query isn’t why he retains telling the lie, it’s why he feels the necessity to even if he gained in 2024. I imply, certain, he gained by mendacity about nonexistent rises in crime underneath Biden, mendacity concerning the state of Biden’s financial system and the way he would repair it, mendacity about what DEI is and the way it works, and telling each racist lie about non-white immigrants his bigoted thoughts may muster—however he gained all the identical. So, why is he nonetheless so salty about dropping, that even after successful, he nonetheless feels the necessity to reintroduce his election fraud propaganda at each alternative? Why is he out right here taking up the Kennedy Middle and the Smithsonian Establishment simply so he can use these venues to rewrite even the newest historical past when he has already completed his pointless purpose of reclaiming the White Home?
Trump grew to become president once more simply to be probably the most depressing, perpetually insecure president most likely in historical past.
Unhappy.
