“He’s not a seven-year-old kid who lost an ice-skating competition,” Tapper said of Trump during a panel discussion of the president’s refusal to concede the election and repeatedly allege—without evidence—widespread voter fraud and an effort to “steal” the election from him.
“He is a 74-year-old president of the United States and he lost re-election, and you know what? That’s OK. That happens,” the CNN anchor continued. “His emotional needs, frankly, are irrelevant.”
Tapper concluded: “I don’t think we need to bend over backwards and pretend that the country moving on and MAGA nation moving on depends upon what Joe Biden does, like Joe Biden is going to do what he can, and if a chunk of the leaders of the Republican Party want to drag the nation down with them, that’s up to them. He’s going to be governing and they can even join him or get out of the way.”
The truth hurts. It’s messy. It’s painful. But, it’s the truth and not fake news, a conspiracy theory, or alternative facts.
Truth matters. Honesty matters. Trump, however, no longer matters. He had his chance, his opportunity to “Make America Great Again”.
NEWS FLASH: It was already great long before you came along, Fatty McOrangeface.
While we’re here, another question:
“Why does literally everything have to be a conspiracy theory?” Seriously. Why?
Why can’t it just be that the people of the United States overwhelmingly have spoken and although you got 72,649,691 votes to Biden’s 77,966,468 votes (306 to 232 Electoral votes), why can’t that simply mean that Donald Trump lost an election?
Why does it have to be election fraud and a stolen election?
The facts and numbers simply don’t lie… much like Trump does, repeatedly.
These repeated attacks and conspiracy theories are incredibly dangerous, not to mention how they entitle and embolden his supporters. That’s a very bad thing.
Thankfully, we have in place law enforcement officers and
laws, which people, ALL people (supporters or not) must abide by.
Now, if you are questioning if that's a real quote from Abraham Lincoln, or if the internet even existed in 1865, then you seriously, immediately need to do more, actual research into YOUR news sources. Of course, there was no internet in 1865. Modern computers weren't even invented until the 1940s, almost 80 years after Lincoln was alive.
Please, PLEASE, pay attention to your news sources because Q-Anon and broadcast news sources like Fox News, One American Network (OAN) and NewsMax pedal and openly distribute questionable, false, dangerous lies, oh and conspiracy theories.
That's a very bad thing.
Oh, and one last thing. You know what isn't fake news? The multiple lawsuits awaiting the 74-year-old toddler in Depends in New York state and Florida after January 20, 2021. Those are all very real, and include prison time as a potential sentence.
Losing a failed re-election bid should be the least of his concerns right now.
