Trump Desperately Wants You to See ‘2000 Mules’, the ‘Most Important Political Documentary Ever Made — Twitter in Hysterics

By

Those of you with real lives, cheering on kids/grandkids soccer or swim meets, going to book club, going on dates with spouses or your new catch, all that stuff that doesn’t involve political writing, might have no idea what “2000 Mules” might be about other than maybe some foul smells and 2000 goofballs that are kinda loving and cute, not beautiful like a horse, not as smart as a donkey, can’t have their own kids, but lovable, nonetheless.

Yeah, but no. The “2000 Mules” that Trump talks about in his statement today isn’t loveable at all. Trump is referencing a new movie, 2000 Mules, put out by Dinesh D’Souza who knows how to spin a buck and a ready audience. He knows that the 2020 election was stolen and he’s going to prove it. He is better than the FBI. (He is also an ex-felon, having violated campaign donation laws but – of course – he was giving to Republicans and so Trump pardoned him.)

Trump hosting the screening for “2000 Mules” the latest documentary about “The Big Lie”.

As you might guess, the movie has been roundly criticized as, well, WRONG: As just one article from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

While it’s possible that some of the alleged perpetrators shown in the movie actually committed a crime, video surveillance of drop boxes alone doesn’t prove anything. Voters might have been delivering ballots for their relatives, which is allowed.

Even if there were a ballot harvesting scheme, it wouldn’t invalidate legitimate ballots just because they were turned in by unauthorized individuals. Verified ballots of registered voters still count, regardless of how they were delivered.

Election investigators have reviewed several videos included in “2000 Mules” and found no illegal behavior, including a video that showed a Gwinnett County man inserting ballots into a drop box, according to the secretary of state’s office.

The premiere of the documentary at Mar-a-Lago had all the normal MAGA faithful that you’d expect.

But to Trump, it’s the most important movie ever made:

Meanwhile, the net was very amused:
