Will Trump run again … and win?

Al Jazeera  

All bets are off in the United States of Fear, Rage, and Peril. In the three books published over the past three years, the Washington Post newspaper veteran journalist goes to a great length to show how even Trump’s closest advisors and allies think he is “a liar”. Even today, as he plans a rerun for the White House, Trump continues to degrade influential party leaders including his own former Vice President Mike Pence, and the Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. Funnily enough, Trump allegedly did not even know what “populist” meant when he first began to think about running for office, as one hilarious anecdote at the beginning of Woodward’s first book illustrates. “Real power is, I don’t even want to use the word ‘fear’,” Trump says, and he adds, “I bring rage out, I do bring rage out, I always have.” But Woodward is so focused on demonising Trump that he fails to see or highlight the cynicism of his influential detractors.

Opinion: Donald Trump’s Increasingly Apocalyptic Campaign

Huff Post  

Last month, I wondered if Donald Trump had jumped the shark. Donald Trump hasn’t “jumped the shark.” He has mutated into something demonic, desecrating all that is good, noble and decent solely to satisfy his own emotional needs.

Parton ties Trump's problems with these groups to his consistent pushing of the "Big Lie," namely his claims that the 2020 election was "rigged." "Baier was trying to give Trump the opening …
