    Public lie, spread by a public figure, with an intention to mislead the public, should be a criminal offence.

      Even if it was, presidents are now immune from criminal charges, and he is set to begin his next term in just a couple weeks, so not likely that anything could stop him from continuing to do this without sweeping reform of the office of president.

        You just have to think Republicans in Congress would much rather have a president JD Vance. Most of them hate Trump with a passion

            JD Vance is Elon’s boy. Elon would totally want him in charge too. Vance has had direct connections to tech billionaires for a long time

              No, Vance is Thiel’s boy. And Thiel and Musk have hated each others’ guts since the PayPal days.

          I low key wonder if they’ll use the 25th on him to get that to happen. He’s Thiel’s boy, and I have wondered if that was the plan from the get go.

      Nope, best I can do is “falsely suggested” and a sense of legitimacy imbued by constant media coverage of his self-serving asshole behavior

        That needs to be done in number of offences. Your point is?
