Sore Loser
With three weeks to go until Election Day, Donald J. Trump stands a reasonable chance of becoming the 47th President of the United States. Despite assassination attempts, impeachments, special counsels, felony convictions and hundreds of millions in civil penalties, most polls show his race against V.P. Kamala Harris is too close to call.
The first time he ran for president in 2016, he was coming off the last season of Celebrity Apprentice. I had a front row seat as a finalist on that final season and marveled at his audacity with his checkered past to seek the highest office in the land. Then, in the blink of an eye, he went from novice to formidable challenger to victorious over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
As President he was a loyal friend, who allowed regular access. My resulting coverage gave him the benefit of most doubts. His presidency was underrated. Throughout his first big scandal in office, the 2017-2019 Mueller Investigation into allegations Trump conspired with Russia to undermine our political process, I stuck with him, deeply suspicious of constant efforts to undermine his Administration.
The last time President Trump and I spoke was Friday, November 13, 2020, when he called me at home. It was ten days after his narrow lost to Joe Biden. He was calling to get my take on the controversies surrounding the election, which appeared to have been decided by a handful of votes in several states. I asked him what he would do if the vote count remained against him. As I reported on Fox News that same morning, Friday the 13th, he told me he was a reasonable man and would do the right thing if that time came.
It never did. Instead, President Trump embarked on an increasingly menacing campaign to discredit the 2020 election. With a motley supporting cast of increasingly fringe characters, he careened from one bizarre theory to the next, offering no meaningful proof, that he had been robbed by the Democrats.
None exists. If you are a Republican, Donald Trump has made a liar of you. He has coaxed and intimidated tens of millions into pretending he was reelected in 2020, and that the election was stolen.
In furtherance of that Big Lie, on January 6, 2021, Trump incited and unleashed the violent attack on the center of democracy, the U.S. Capitol for which he was Impeached. As his followers trashed that sacred space, he was on the phone urging Vice President Mike Pence essentially to overturn the will of the American people. Pence refused to put Trump ahead of the Constitution. Trump stabbed the Constitution in the back.
Maybe you are inclined to vote for the former president anyway, because he says he will cut your taxes or build the border wall or pull out of NATO or put tariffs on China. However, you justify voting for Trump, adopting his big lie about the stolen election makes you a liar.
Better to admit he lost last time but that you don’t care because a Harris presidency would be a disaster, or you admire his defiance in the face of an assassin’s bullet. Just don’t pretend that he got robbed in 2020. That is a lie. Former President Trump is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the Constitution. That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President.
BREAKING: Election bombshell drops as it's revealed that the former top general in Donald Trump's White House "warned former colleagues" that Trump is a "total fascist" and "the most dangerous person ever."
And it gets even worse...
According to legendary journalist Bob Woodwards's upcoming book War, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley made the aforementioned remarks.
"I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist," Milley told Woodward. "He is now the most dangerous person to this country."
Milley went on to say that Trump is a "walking, talking advertisement of what he’s going to try to do." He recalled a meeting in the Oval Office in 2020 in which Trump "yelled" and "shouted" about wanting to court-martial former generals for criticizing him publicly.
The general also said that after retiring he has received "a non-stop barrage of death threats."
"No one has ever been as dangerous to this country," he added.

BREAKING: Renowned election forecaster Nate Silver devastates Donald Trump by announcing that Kamala Harris is now up in Arizona — the fifth crucial swing state in which she's leading.
And it gets even better...
"If you had the election today, then she would be favored. But we should remember that polling is sometimes inaccurate, as it was in 2016 and 2020, as well," Silver told NewsNation.
According to his Silver Bulletin polling average, Harris is at 45.3% in Arizona compared to Trump's 44%.
"Today's update. Another good day for HARRIS, who now leads in our polling average in Arizona and is only 6/10ths of a point down in North Carolina," Silver wrote.
"Harris has improved on Biden’s numbers by somewhere between 3.9 points and 8.5 points in literally every swing state—and by more than 7 points nationally," he stated on his Substack.
"It’s a completely transformed race," he added.

BREAKING: In a stunning leak, JD Vance is found to be calling for a federal response to stop women from traveling from red states to blue states to receive reproductive healthcare. Retweet so all Americans hear this devastating leak.
@mcuban Biden looked weathered. I can work with that because in order to be weathered, you have been through a few storms.
Trump, couldn’t mount a relevant rebuttal to any question, exposing plausible lack of expertise.
I will take tried and true, vs bigoted and belittling every time.
@mcuban This is a perfect take.
I'm voting for the old guy who staffs his administration with experienced, competent professionals, not the old guy who staffs his cabinet with felons, fraudsters, family members and sycophants he found on the golf course.
BREAKING: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz just announced that President Biden is one of the strongest politicians he has ever worked with, that Biden’s rarely wrong, and that he’s going to win reelection. Let’s go.
@DASCOM2022 @naretevduorp Wow—talk about validating someone’s point— you did that in spades. Have lots of your old friends stopped taking your calls???
@BillAckman@PeterLBrandt@CNN@realDonaldTrump The Justice system is being applied fairly. If you are so convinced that DT is innocent based on how the trial is playing out-and based on what commentators on CNN are saying—you should realize this as the jurors are likely as convinced as you are….
BREAKING: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries reminds us the consequences of elections saying if Roe can fall, so can Social Security or even democracy. Retweet to ensure all Americans know what’s at stake this November.
BREAKING: Donald Trump just announced that he is going to give wealthy Americans the largest tax cut in history. Retweet to ensure every American knows Donald Trump is going to have ordinary Americans paying for the wealthy.
@tribelaw Hurrah!! In fact until we all wake up like this and unless we collectively ban together soon and do something to fight back (and what could be better than boycotting businesses and tourist destinations that support all this extremely dangerous drivel) it will be too late.
