But he did restate his delusional conspiracy theory that the election was fraudulent and his pitiful and failed pursuit of imaginary evidence was in the interest of democracy.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday morning Trump took to his Twitter machine again to pay tribute to himself and his legions of dimwitted cult followers. He tweeted that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1347555316863553542?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Once again, Trump is focused on his warped rendering of reality by recognizing only the losers that voted for him, while ignoring the fact that 81 million people voted for Biden. He apparently doesn&#8217;t regard them as <em>&#8220;great American Patriots.&#8221;<\/em> But he is concerned that his sheep will be herded off into well-deserved historical obscurity.<\/p>\n<p>However, this wasn&#8217;t some spontaneous burst of consolation for these lost souls. Shortly before Trump&#8217;s tweet, Fox News was discussing his defeat and the fate of his despondent voters. Fox and Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt was awash in empathy, and Trump&#8217;s tweet appears to be a direct response to that:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ainsley Earhardt thinks it&#39;s important to emphasize 75 million people who voted for Trump, and how scared, worried and heartbroken they are instead of accurately describing insurrectionists as criminal thugs, who terrorized us all and broke into our house. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZqQWDeaERN\">pic.twitter.com\/ZqQWDeaERN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Amee Vanderpool (@girlsreallyrule) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/girlsreallyrule\/status\/1347568333860851715?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s funny, because neither Earhardt, nor Trump, nor Fox News, ever expressed such concerns for the majority of people who voted for Hillary Clinton over Trump in 2016. They never acknowledged the far more credible fears of those voters for <em>&#8220;the future of this country&#8221;<\/em> that turned out to be prescient in a tragic way. And that applies not only to the assault on democracy orchestrated and incited by Trump and his Fox News Ministry of Propaganda (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48210\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">which is still disseminating dangerous lies<\/a><\/strong>). It also applies to the catastrophic and deadly neglect and incompetence of Trump&#8217;s mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Earhardt did get one thing right, though. Her characterization of Trump&#8217;s cult as <em>&#8220;confused&#8221;<\/em> is a fitting description of his glassy-eyed hordes, albeit somewhat understated. It would be more accurate to describe them as deranged due having been fed a diet of flagrant lies and blatant bullpucky for the past four years. She should have pointed out that their so-called confusion was entirely due to Trump&#8217;s dishonesty and egomaniacal aspirations for unchallenged, authoritarian power. As well as the disinformation produced by Fox News on Trump&#8217;s behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Trump&#8217;s assertion that he supports a smooth transfer of power is contradicted by another tweet on Friday morning:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1347569870578266115?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Clearly Trump&#8217;s ego won&#8217;t permit him to stand behind the new president, like every other retiring president has done. He simply cannot tolerate not being the sole center of attention. He&#8217;s afraid of being revealed for &#8211; and remembered as &#8211; the loser that he is and always has been. And he refuses to grant recognition to anyone other than himself.<\/p>\n<p>Trump doesn&#8217;t say where he will be on Biden&#8217;s inauguration day. Golfing? Conferring with his attorneys to avoid prison? Fleeing the U.S. to a country without an extradition treaty? Or just swaddled under the covers in his Mar-a-Lago bedroom watching Fox News, or Newsmax, or OANN, or listening to Rush Limbaugh, and fantasizing that he really did win reelection as he chows down some KFC, diet cokes, and Adderall?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter recently suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
