In a Christmas message to his followers Monday, former President Donald Trump said he hopes supporters of “Electric Car Lunacy” would “ROT IN HELL.”
Trump’s Monday afternoon Truth Social post continued a theme he had been developing with several other posts since Christmas Eve, attacking Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting two criminal cases against him.
The frontrunner of the 2024 presidential race for the Republican Party nomination added a missive against “THUGS,” which he said were more “evil” and “sick” than all world leaders. In the grammatically confusing post, Trump also appeared to attack Israel, which Trump lumped in with Iran, as well as both Russia and Ukraine.
Emotionally you’re absolutely right, it’s the incoherent ramblings of an idiot…but logically this idiot has a shockingly legitimate shot at being re-(!)-elected President so ignoring him is at our own peril.
Also, somewhere around 20-30% of the country still hangs on his every word. If they are saying “we need to attack X,” it’s important to know what X is.
(Here, X is a variable, not the idiotic renaming of a certain social media network.)
He has a better chance at landing in prison
In a rational timeline sure but gestures at all the things
First of all, sadly, no he doesn’t. Second of all, you can still run for president from prison.
It feels to me like any publicity is good for him, that’s his whole strategy. People just only remember selective parts that talked to their own situation without looking at the big picture.
