"We don’t know how many Americans will face the loss of their liberty due to the perversion of DOJ, or how many children will die due to state-imposed quackery. But we do know that as Trump denounces the Democrats as Communists, few resemble them as much as he." www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...

If you are writing headlines about how Trump is promising evidence of fraud in the 2020 election here in mid-2026 — after almost six years of earnest effort by his allies and after more than 16 months of him as president — you are a hopeless rube and should go sell bananas.
