President Trump, Year IV: The Silence of Cowards

President Donald Trump, in videoconference with the military for Thanksgiving, November 26 at the White House.

Tkings weeks of denial, ongoing series. While the elected president advances, forms his teams, the defeated president sinks. To concede defeat would have freed him as surely as a confession can appease the liar, but he is still unable to. He curses and grumbles, repeats his anger, promises that we’ll see what we’ll see, that it’s not over, that it never will be.

A good title for his Memoirs.

“To say that an election was fraudulent does not make that election fraudulent. It takes specific claims and evidence, but we have neither Federal Judge Stephanos Bibas, appointed by Donald Trump, ruled on Friday in appeal proceedings concerning Pennsylvania. It was the last rout in a long series of shaky remedies.
