Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama as presidential nominee, book saysFormer President Donald Trump believed a conspiracy theory that leaders in the Democratic Party would sabotage now-President Joe Biden at the 2020 convention and replace him with Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama, according to a forthcoming book by Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.
The latest nugget from the book, titled "Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost," was published on Monday in Vanity Fair.
As late as April 2020, when all of Biden's rivals had dropped out of the race, Trump bought into the falsehood that Democratic officials would replace Biden, who Trump referred to as "mentally retarded," with Clinton or Obama, Bender wrote.
The idea, he wrote, apparently originated from former Clinton White House advisor Dick Morris who was informally advising Trump at the time.

Its like they have zero originality for their bullshit.

Republicans know he's every bit as crazy as this, and they still want him back in the White House in 2025.
