In February 2016, former President Donald Trump participated in his first-ever political election, finishing second to Sen. Ted Cruz in the Iowa caucuses and claiming Cruz “stole” the election. Sound familiar?

Incapable of admitting defeat, Trump and his “crackpot lawyers,” as his former vice president has called them, concocted the Big Lie that the 2020 election was also rigged. Four indictments later, Trump continues his harangue of election fraud, with his usual complete lack of dignity. Special counsel Jack Smith, who is conducting two federal investigations involving Trump, is a “lowlife” and “deranged.”

Since announcing his plan to run again in 2024, Trump has not outlined any element of a foreign or domestic agenda, with one exception: He claims he could end the war in Ukraine in one day. But then again, Trump is a self-proclaimed “stable genius.
