CNN's Dana Bash reported Thursday morning that former President Donald Trump is "more obsessed than ever with the 2020 election," with one former Trump aide telling her that the former President is only listening to "the bottom of the bottom of the crazies in the barrel."
That follows on reporting from The New York Times and The Washington Post that Trump is convinced that he will, at some point this summer, be reinstated as president once a variety of kooky and non-credible audits come to, uh, fruition.
"Trump has become so fixated on the audits that he suggested recently to allies that their success could result in his return to the White House this year, according to people familiar with comments he has made," wrote the Post.
Trump himself has been sending out a slew of statements on the topic -- blasting Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, both Republicans, for not doing more to support the ridiculous recount in Maricopa County. And on Monday, Trump blasted this out: "Great work is being done in Georgia revealing the Election Fraud of the 2020 Presidential Election. But, we must not allow ANYONE to compromise these ballots by leaving the building unsecured, which was done late Friday. Republicans and Patriots must protect this site and the Absentee Ballots."

(7,947 posts)He's just uncaring about everything-- didn't care about even trying to pretend to do a good job or like the job. And I think all this "steal" stuff started as a way to "steal" more donations-- and these wouldn't be overseen by the FEC and campaign rules, so all the better.
But I think he's descending into actual for-real obsession now. He's pretty obviously going senile, and in the mid-stages of that, this sort of rabid obsession is common. And I'm glad he's going to have a hard landing when it's clear no one's going to give him a "win". I hope it depresses him a lot-- just to get back a bit of the misery he's imposed on the rest of us.

(60,436 posts)He seems never to have realized that the only reason rich and powerful people paid any attention at all to him was because he could be useful to them as POTUS. No matter how outlandish some anti-environment bill or some anti-education bill was, as long as Ryan and Moscow Mitch could pass it, Trump would sign it.
These days, all he is signing his name to is credit card bills and MAGAT autographs at Mierda Lago. He is like an embarrassingly ugly umbrella to the Republican Party. The moment the rain stops, the ugly umbrella gets stashed away in the darkest corner of the closet, deliberately ignored and forgotten by all but those few who actually liked it. He is not useful to anyone but comedians these days, and even to them, his days of shelf life are numbered.
