Take for example <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realLizUSA\/status\/1466887130039427077\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this tweet<\/a><\/strong> in which Trump stuffed a surprising number of self-serving fallacies:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;America fell 340,000 jobs short of the very modest expectations set by economists. That&#8217;s because Joe Biden is a one trick pony, &#8220;Get the Vaccine.&#8221; But no one trusts this administration. I developed the vaccine when everyone said it wasn&#8217;t possible. Now without &#8220;Trump,&#8221; that&#8217;s their only solution. This administration is destroying America before our very eyes because there is no leadership. Besides my vaccine, this is the administration of no jobs and massive layoffs, high gas and energy prices, high crime, empty shelves, open borders, and a horrendous surrender and evacuation from Afghanistan. A lot of effort and money went into RIGGING the 2020 Presidential Election, only to destroy the Country. Was it worth it?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If that isn&#8217;t a demonstration of someone tweaking on meth, then nothing is. Trump can&#8217;t seem to concentrate on a single subject for more than a nanosecond. There must be a medical diagnosis for this psychotic compulsion to enumerate every screwball thing that pops into his head. Never mind that he manages to get everything he&#8217;s ranting about wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Trump begins with a criticism of President Biden&#8217;s record on job creation. But he immediately segues to the bizarre claim that <em>&#8220;I developed the vaccine,&#8221;<\/em> for the coronavirus. Does he also think he beat Neil Armstrong to the moon and wrote all of Shakespeare&#8217;s plays?<\/p>\n<p>As for his commentary on jobs, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/12\/03\/jobs-report-november-2021.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he left out that<\/a><\/strong> <em>&#8220;the unemployment rate fell sharply to 4.2% from 4.6%, even though the labor force participation rate increased for the month to 61.8%, its highest level since March 2020.&#8221;<\/em> And that <em>&#8220;Worker wages climbed for the month, rising 0.26% in November and 4.8% from a year ago.&#8221;<\/em> In fact, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2021\/12\/03\/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-november-jobs-report\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">as Biden noted<\/a><\/strong> on Friday, <em>&#8220;in the first 10 full months of my administration, the economy has created 6 million jobs, a record for a new President.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So Biden can hardly be called a <em>&#8220;one trick pony.&#8221;<\/em> And if there were only one trick, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51338\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">successfully reducing the harm caused by a deadly pandemic<\/a><\/strong> is a pretty good one. For the record, Trump left office with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2021\/01\/08\/trump-jobs-record\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the worst jobs record<\/a><\/strong> in modern history.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of Trump&#8217;s tweet was equally dishonest. Gas prices have only risen because the economy has rebounded so well. Crime is not higher relative to prior years. While there were product shortages due to global (not just American) supply chain issues, store shelves are once again full. The borders are not open. The <em>&#8220;horrendous surrender&#8221;<\/em> in Afghanistan was negotiated by Trump <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50499\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to his own National Security Advisor<\/a><\/strong>. And Trump&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Big Lie&#8221;<\/em> about the election being <em>&#8220;rigged&#8221;<\/em> continues to be a dangerous fiction that undermines democracy.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Trump bothers to post tweets like this is further evidence of his emotional instability and his obsessive aspiration to return to a position of authoritarian power. He must not be allowed to succeed. American democracy and freedom depends on defeating Trump and Trumpism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
