Trump just said that Biden was overthrown by the Democrats in a violent coup.

Donald Trump really just claimed that there "was a vicious, violent overthrow of [Joe Biden]."

He literally just said that Biden was overthrown by the Democrats in a violent coup. Literally!

Trump was going to prove to everyone he could beat him (of course WE weren't gong to let that happen, but I'm not too sure of my fellow Americans felt the same). He spent three years plotting his revenge. Pouring eveything into it.

Biden denied him that. Trump, in his sick mind feels "cheated."

Trump just can't let go. We continue to watch a slow moving psychotic break.

Washington Post: Trump falsely labels Harris swap as ‘violent’ as he defends Jan. 6 rioters

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday falsely depicted Vice President Kamala Harris’s path to the Democratic nomination as violent .... Trump, whose lies about theft of the 2020 election inspired his supporters to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power, falsely accused Harris of orchestrating a “vicious, violent overthrow” by replacing President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket.... Tuesday’s comments marked another attempt by Trump to undermine confidence in the election and raise questions the legitimacy of Harris’s candidacy. He has repeatedly referred to Harris’s ascent as a “coup,” a tactic he reprised at the law enforcement event.

And so forth.

"I'm not losing to fucking Joe Biden!"

Well he did. And has spent the last four years plotting, stewing, calculating, etc. how to get a win over him. And then pull out all the tricks in the books and then some to make sure he's in office until he dies.

Biden graciously bowing out, is fairly much like the comic strip Peanuts. Particularly where Lucy always pulls the ball away when Charlie Brown tries to kick it.
