Donald Trump turned his complaint about the 2020 election into a subtle(ish) threat to rig the next presidential vote – 17 fraud-free clapbacks

Donald Trump still can’t accept that he lost the 2020 election. It’s one of the many obvious signs of his crippling insecurity. But in this case, it’s way worse than that.

If this Orange Traitorous Piece of Shit had been pulled out of the White House in handcuffs the night of January 6th 2021 (as he should have been) ALL of this Orange Shitshow would have been avoided.

This sort of shit should scare you, but it’s every day now so it’ll barely make a blip. The precedent is now “attempt coup if it doesn’t go our way” because no one was actually punished for the last one. https://t.co/34sggpYeud
