The stench of desperation is getting thicker in Trump World. That would explain the rash of frenzied tweets being posted by his spokes-shill, Liz Harrington (whose proxy Trump tweeting is violating Twitter’s rules<\/a><\/strong> against circumventing a ban). He just unleashed a new flurry of disjointed sentence fragments that pass for the “intellectual”<\/em> commentary of “stable genius”<\/em> Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

Among the offerings on Wednesday morning is a tweet<\/a><\/strong> linking to a Breitbart article that appears to be celebrating that “Joe Biden Job Approval [is] 10 Points Worse than Obama During Presidency”<\/em><\/p>\n

OK. It’s also ten points better than Trump. So what exactly is his point? That Obama was exceptionally popular? Or that Trump is a loser who never hit 50% approval during the entirety of his single term that featured two impeachments, more than half a million COVID fatalities, numerous indictments of his closest White House advisors, and the storming of Congress by violent insurrectionists as part of an attempted coup? (FYI: Biden’s approval ratings are on the upswing, topping 50%<\/a><\/strong> again).<\/p>\n

Trump is still disgorging ludicrous assertions that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged”<\/em> and that he will be reinstated before 2024<\/a><\/strong>. That’s a claim that is not only preposterous, it “terrifies”<\/em> his own former press secretary<\/a><\/strong>, Stephanie Grisham.<\/p>\n

Yet somehow Trump, in a narcissistic stupor, has convinced himself that his return to power is immanent and as proof he tweeted<\/a><\/strong> that “Bob Woodward Says He’s Never Seen a Former President With as Much Political Strength as Trump”<\/em><\/p>\n

OK. Of course no former president has ever refused to concede, or been so obsessed with maintaining a perpetual campaign in pursuit of adulation and donations that he could steal. What’s more, apparently Trump didn’t watch the whole interview of Woodward on CNN. Had he done so, he would know that Woodward wasn’t complimenting him. Woodward prefaced his remarks about Trump by associating them with a quote about “deference”<\/em> to Russian dictators. In context Woodward said that…<\/p>\n

“What’s going on now really is an iron curtain of obedience to Trump. It’s not just polite deference, it is obedience. […] This is a political strength that we have rarely seen, never seen from a former president. […and quoting Trump’s CIA Director Gina Haskell…] We are on the way to a right-wing coup. The whole thing is insanity. Trump is acting out like a six year old with a tantrum.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

"What's going on now really is an iron curtain of obedience to Trump. It's not just polite deference. It is obedience, and it really is an iron curtain," says Bob Woodward of Trump's GOP support.<\/p>\n
