Are you familiar with the word “foreshadowing?” It’s a literary term and it means “a warning or indication of a future event.” In fiction, like in life, nothing comes out of the blue. It’s been foreshadowed in advance. And the foreshadowing may be subtle. As a matter of fact, the more subtle it is, the better the dramatic effect.

Donald Trump foreshadowed how he’s going to explain his loss in November. It was subtle, but if you listened, you caught it.

He was at a rally in New Hampshire last night and there was an ugly scene. He had a guy thrown out of the rally. There was a moment of frenzy, when you wondered if the mob was going to jump on the man and pound him into a bloody pulp like in The Day Of The Locust.

But not Saturday night. This is a two-minute clip (from Trump’s Two-Minute Hate, which is what his rallies amount to.) At 1:30 pay close attention to what Trump says.

Did you get that last thirty seconds? George Soros is paying for all this and he’s not just sending checks to the yous and mes, he’s sending them to MAGAs now. And Trump, being the essence of magnanimity, has graciously told the MAGAs, “do what you have to do.” That’s right, Trump understands if a starving MAGA needs to take George Soros’ thousand bucks — and hey! Look on the bright side! If you’re a MAGA and you get $1,000 from George, you can just turn it over to Donald Trump. Well, maybe keep a fiver or so, hell, keep a sawbuck. Trump’s a generous man.

Trump made that remark because when push comes to shove, he’s going to not only claim that the election was rigged and stolen — again — he’s going to claim that MAGAs were bought off by billionaires. Bookmark this video and come back to it post-November 5. See if Trump doesn’t do this.

He knows the situation is out of control. And that galls him to no end. But what is he going to do? He’s got to keep running to run the country that he tried to overthrow when he ran it before because he’s really running from the law. Run, Donald, run.

What other choice does he have but to run? Suspend? It occurred to him to threaten MAGA with just that. Have you seen this gem?

Raw Story:

Other Trump fundraising come-ons over the years have likewise been misleading or outright lies.

Emails from the Trump Save America Joint Fundraising Committee — a joint fundraising vehicle involving Trump’s campaign committee and his Save America political action committee — continued streaming before the Iowa caucuses started.

One declared a forthcoming victory, asking for supporters for donations in the preselected amounts of $20.24 and $47 “IF YOU THINK DONALD J. TRUMP IS THE GREATEST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME.

Donald Trump needs your money more than you do. Why that should be so, when he’s got the mansion (several) and you don’t, when he’s got the plane with his name on it, when he’s got gold toilets to perch his fat ass on, don’t ask me. But I do know that some people buy his act. I recall reading about a guy who made eight small dollar donations to Trump in one day.

The legal bills are piling up and things are getting dire. But neither rain nor snow nor dark of night shall keep the fundraising emails from going out. They have to because his legal bills aren’t getting any lower.

And so Trump runs, knowing it’s an exercise in futility, but he’s got to see it through. Politics is his only form of income right now. But the cracks are starting to show. He’s done a lousy makeup job the past few nights in New Hampshire. And the fact that he’s talking about George Soros or other billionaires paying off MAGAs is a sure sign that he knows the jig is up.

November is coming up faster than you think, Donald.
