Trump has been having a heyday on social media the last few days, but today, he’s acting a special kind of stupid. In a post early today, Trump accused outgoing President Joe Biden of deliberately making life difficult for him during the presidential transition period.
Seeing his post made me laugh immediately, since it was Trump himself who refused for a very long time to sign transition paperwork that would have allowed background checks on his nominees for Cabinet positions and various other White House jobs, as required by law.
But far be it from the Golden Boy to pass up an opportunity to turn his own failures into someone else’s fault:
Biden is doing everything possible to make the TRANSITION as difficult as as possible, from Lawfare such as has never been seen before, to costly and ridiculous Executive Orders on the Green New Scam and other money wasting Hoaxes. Fear not, these “Orders” will all be terminated shortly, and we will become a Nation of Common Sense and Strength. MAGA!!!
“Such as has never,” Donnie? What the hell does that even MEAN? I mean, it’s obvious he was still a little groggy when he wrote dictated the tweet, and so was whoever transcribed it. “As difficult as as possible” is a mouthful.
In response to his message, one of his superfans on Truth Social, a user who goes by “Steeldriver the Toxic,” wrote “Time to eliminate the evil spirits over this land and heal. Anyone standing in the way will be dealt with accordingly.”
It sounds like he took what Trump said the day after the November election to heart. At 2:30 in the morning on Wednesday, Nov. 6, Trump told a crowd of supporters, “This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There’s never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond. And now it’s going to reach a new level of importance because we’re going to help our country heal.”
But heal from what? Everything that’s gone wrong in America in nearly the last decade has been because of him and his political movement. The economy improved under Biden, apprehensions at the border went up, crime went down… But the perpetually aggrieved conservatives who vote for Donald Trump could never be happy — and he could never stop feeding off of, or feeding into, their anger.
The whole thing is a far cry from what went down as the two shook hands two months ago after Trump won the election. Biden promised to accommodate Trump in every way possible, and Trump was — shockingly — very gracious about it. “Politics is tough and it’s in many cases not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today and I appreciate very much a transition that is so smooth. It’ll be as smooth as it can get, and I very much appreciate that, Joe,” he told his political rival.
He sure is singing a different song today.
