Like most malignant narcissists he is incapable of comprehending any news that doesn&#8217;t portray him as superior in all things. But his utterly pathetic failure to understand the complexities of fourth grade math or civics comes as a slight surprise. You would think that someone in his circle of sycophants would explain the situation he&#8217;s in. But no. Consequently we have Trump pounding out preposterous tweets like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden can only enter the White House as President if he can prove that his ridiculous \u201c80,000,000 votes\u201d were not fraudulently or illegally obtained. When you see what happened in Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia &amp; Milwaukee, massive voter fraud, he\u2019s got a big unsolvable problem!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1332352538855747584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 27, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>First of all, Trump doesn&#8217;t get to decide when Biden can enter the White House. That&#8217;s just another manifestation of his delusions of grandeur. More to the point, Trump needs to have a lawyer school him on the fine points of the law. Biden is not obligated to provide proof that the 80 million votes he received were <em>&#8220;were not fraudulently or illegally obtained.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s a precisely backwards interpretation of how election results are challenged.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it makes sense that Trump would would want to twist this process around. He has filed dozens of lawsuits to overturn the results of the election in several states and lost nearly every one. So now, out of sheer desperation, he&#8217;s trying to shift the burden of proof to Biden. That&#8217;s not going to work. No judge will entertain this ridiculous notion, and Biden will simply &#8211; and correctly &#8211; ignore it.<\/p>\n<p>As if that weren&#8217;t enough ridicule for Trump in one day, he also tweeted a <em>&#8220;report&#8221;<\/em> by the Trump-fluffing One America News Network (OANN) that made a severely math-challenged allegation about Biden&#8217;s votes and popularity:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">REPORT: Biden\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Address gets just 1000 views online, a record low. Observers say a candidate with \u201c80,000,000\u201d votes would get many more online viewers. Numbers don\u2019t lie, or add up! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OANN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@OANN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1332317320191074304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 27, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s so pitifully sad about this is that it&#8217;s falseness is so easy to confirm. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1331962915033903108\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Biden&#8217;s Thanksgiving address<\/a><\/strong> racked up more than 5.3 million views on Twitter alone. And that isn&#8217;t counting all the viewers who watched it live on every network news broadcast. As for Trump, he didn&#8217;t even have an official Thanksgiving address. He did post a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamTrump\/status\/1332110101377912832\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a><\/strong> of some comments he made to the military, but that had only 507,000 views, one tenth the number of Biden&#8217;s address. Even worse, Trump&#8217;s reliance on OANN for data like this could not be more poorly placed. The <em>&#8220;report&#8221;<\/em> Trump referred to said this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Joe Biden stirred a new controversy after his Thanksgiving address failed to attract viewers. Reports Thursday found Biden&#8217;s livestream address got only 1,000 views on line. The former vice-president delivered a teleprompter address on Wednesday in another baseless attempt to pose as the winner of the recent elections. The mainstream media portrays Biden as the most popular candidate in history of US politics, giving him 80 million votes. However, Biden&#8217;s miserable viewership online does not reflect the purported popularity.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/W7HE3T8p4O\">pic.twitter.com\/W7HE3T8p4O<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brianstelter\/status\/1332322560407703552\"><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This nonsense begins by blaming Biden for some <em>&#8220;new controversy&#8221;<\/em> that is nothing of the sort. Then it references a report that is actually just some random jerk on Twitter who doesn&#8217;t know how tweet views accumulate. Then, for no apparent reason, it mentions that Biden used a teleprompter, which everyone does for speeches like these, including Trump. Then it says that Biden&#8217;s address was <em>&#8220;another baseless attempt to pose as the winner of the recent elections.&#8221;<\/em> Of course, Biden wasn&#8217;t <em>&#8220;posing&#8221;<\/em> as the winner. He actually is the winner. And the basis for that is the certified results of the elections in enough states to produce 306 electoral votes.<\/p>\n<p>It is incomprehensible that it has come this. The stupidity of Trump, and the media sources he clings to, is on a level that no one could ever have imagined would sink so low. But here we are. Sadly, we can expect Trump to sink even further in the few weeks that remain of his unfortunate presidency. And that is only made possible by the equal stupidity of Trump&#8217;s cult followers who believe whatever he says, no matter how absurd.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> News Corpse was notified by Twitter recently that its account would be suspended for repeated violations of their rules.
