Summary

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s election interference case, released by the Justice Department, details Trump’s attempts to retain power after losing the election.

Trump responded with late-night social media posts, calling Smith “deranged,” spreading falsehoods about destroyed evidence, and claiming a 2020 election “landslide” victory.

Despite having time to prepare a response, Trump’s reaction consisted of late-night tweets filled with lies and falsehoods.

    Of course he does! It’s his brand. And his sycophants voters will back him on that. Because it’s too little too late to back out, now. Better to try to secure a spot on the boat than be pushed overboard. They’ll deny deny deny and offer alt “facts” until they’re out of breath to try to get their dry, scratchy tongues on those Oxfords (with elevators). Sadly for them, the boats already sinking, and they themselves put the holes in it so Trump could climb onboard.
