Even now He continues to perpetuate the outright lie that the last election was rigged against him.
During Monday’s speech at the Kennedy Center Board dinner the president brought up the topic of the 2020 election once more. Firsty, he took credit for securing the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Los Angeles Olympics during his first term. However, he claimed he regretted the fact he wouldn’t be president when the events actually happened (this was still during his first term).
“I got the Olympics and the World Cup and I won’t be president and they’re gonna forget that I got them.” Apparently the only thing that matters to Trump is people praising him. He went on to say “and then they rigged the election, and then I said, ‘You know what I’ll do? I’ll run again and I’ll shove it up their a**.’”
I guess he’s got his wish now, he’ll be president during the World Cup and Olympics in the coming years (that is if the U.S. can still afford to host them by the time we get there). However, his insistence on pushing this narrative that he never lost the 2020 election is just ridiculous and yet his ers seem to be eating it up.
Trump claims he’d be retired by now
The president told his audience that if the election interference had never happened he would be retired right now. Instead we’re stuck with him for another four years, maybe longer if he makes good on his unconstitutional promise to run for a third term.
“So if they would’ve left us alone, and wouldn’t have cheated on the election, and wouldn’t have rigged it, I would’ve been retired right now. I would’ve been happily doing something else. And instead they have me for four more years. Can you believe that?”
It’s almost too much to think about, imagine a world where Donald Trump was retired right now and we didn’t have to worry about him anymore. Of course, it would have meant putting up with four years of Trump instead of Biden so it’s not all good.
What’s most concerning is how the president of the U.S. still refuses to it that he didn’t win that last election. This complete erasure of the facts is disturbing. It was over four years ago, let it go, it’s not even something that needs to be discussed anymore. Trump can be a pathological liar at times and this is one of his most egregious and dangerous lies.
Let’s not forget the fact that his refusal to accept his loss back in 2020 led to numerous deaths when his ers stormed the Capitol on January 6th. Yet here he is, four years on, he’s escaped any consequences and what’s worse is he’s making jokes about it.
