Late last night, Trump demonstrated why he likely will never be president again. His mind (such as it is) will be unable to move on from such a humiliating loss. A hypothetical win in 2024 means nothing, it doesn’t erase the loss. He cannot and will not, move on.

Fine. We are used to that.

We are even used to insane and over-the-top statements from the “Office of the 45th President of the United States,” of course we are. We have even grown numb to yelling about RINOs like Liz Cheney. But what is shocking is that we have never seen a late-night statement lit with vitriol directed at his best buddy, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and steadfast Republican Trumper Mike Lee.

Trump may, literally, be in the process of dividing the party for good. He started out by going after old-school Republicans, the conservatives, as opposed to the Trumpers:

“RINO former President George ‘Dubya’ Bush and his flunky Karl Rove are endorsing warmongering and very low polling, Liz Cheney. Bush is the one who got us into the quicksand of the Middle East and, after spending trillions of dollars and killing nearly a million people, the Middle East was left in worse shape after 21 years than it was when he started his stupidity,”

It would not be a Trump statement if he didn’t go after the media, so they were up next:

Why is the Fake News Media continuing on their path of saying, ‘baseless and disproven lies,’ concerning the Presidential Election of 2020, no matter how much evidence they see.

And then it was off to pretend land, where there is proof everywhere that the election was rigged and he won 75 million to two (Joe and Jill):

The proof is massive and staggering. The Presidential Election of 2020 was Rigged! When the information becomes public, people will see that it wasn’t even close I spent virtually no time with Senators Mike Lee of Utah, or Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, talking about the 2020 Presidential Election Scam or, as it is viewed by many, the ‘Crime of the Century.’ Lindsey and Mike should be ashamed of themselves for not putting up the fight necessary to win.

“Mike Lee, Lindsey Graham, and all of the other Republicans who were unwilling to fight for the Presidency of the United States, which would have included at least an additional four Republican Senators, two in Georgia, one in Michigan, one in Arizona, are letting the Democrats get away with the greatest Election Hoax in history—a total con job!”

We honestly don’t know – yet – what it was that Mike Lee and Lindsey Graham did to stand out yesterday but it was obviously something. The next paragraph is truly special:

“The Democrats are vicious and fight like hell, and the Republicans do nothing about it. RINOs fight harder against Republicans than they do against Democrats. They want to be so politically correct, even if that means losing our Country, which is happening now,

“They should be ashamed of themselves. Why don’t they have hearings? Or even if just Republicans had open public sessions, we would all hear the irrefutable facts,

Come for the pure insanity, stay for the bashing of Lindsey Graham.https://t.co/KTZ7aWPMR5

When Hillary lost to a man who enlisted help from the Russians and Wikileaks, she called him that evening to concede. Trump incited his people to a riot and had a plan for Pence to overturn the election.

This was one of the most bizarre statements Trump has ever put out.
