      You’re correct that Trump complaining about Biden for this New York case doesn’t make any sense. Presumably Trump is counting on his supporters believing in some conspiracy or being uniformed. Alvin Brag is the District Attorney of New York County and doesn’t report to Biden.

        Conservative critical thinking skills are low, so the basic logic is that New York, as a reliable blue state, must therefore be under Biden’s control.

        Much of the Republican worldview is based on projection, so part of that assumption is that Biden controls an army of loyalists just like Trump does. To Republicans, New York may as well be Mordor.
