I didn't write this....... and I read a smidge
"Trump Part III: In a speech loaded with superlatives about himself, political fictions, denial of climate change and more, Donald Trump last night announced his third run for the presidency saying, “America’s comeback starts right now.”
It was a return of the Trump show in which credit for all good things go to him and blame for the bad goes to others. He took no responsibility for the party failure in the midterm elections.
Dismissing climate change, he said ocean levels are predicted to rise 1/8th of an inch in 300 years rather than the scientifically predicted one foot in 30 years. He said China was involved in the 2020 US elections. He said Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if he was still president.
Trump declared, “I’ve gone decades, decades without a war, the first president to do it for that long a period.” He was president for four years.
Conservative politicians and commentators immediately expressed worry about a Trump return.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who held his office by 19 percentage points a week ago, and is a front runner to oppose Trump, was blunt about the underperformance of his party across the country and the prospect of Trump running for president again. “I would just tell people to go check out the scoreboard from last Tuesday night,” he said.
In remarks to supporters the morning after her projected victory, Arizona’s governor-elect Katie Hobbs said Arizona voters chose “solving our problems over conspiracy theories” and “sanity over chaos. ”
Of course, she was referring to Kari Lake, one of the last holdouts of Trumpism from the Tuesday election who, 36 hours later, has not conceded defeat. Lake campaigned in part on claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged in favor of Joe Biden and she has suggested that if she loses it could only be because of election fraud.
If she finally gives up, it’s a big nail in the coffin of Trumpism."
