Good grief. Even the scandalous NY Post has had enough of his election-fraud burlesque.
Yet true to its more characteristic form, the Post, subsequent to reminding the president that he really, swear-to-God, genuinely lost the election; that hand recounts have confirmed that plain but screaming fact; that he is surrounding himself with conspiracy-theory, martial-law and Kraken nutjobs; and that he's engaging in a "dark charade" and "undemocratic coup" — after all that, the Post advises Trump to reflect on "securing [his] legacy":
"Consider this. You came out of nowhere to win the presidency…. You took on the elites and the media who had long lost touch with average working people."
While discounting the additional fact that the Post is an influential part of "the media" it suggests has been universally antagonistic to Trump, the paper repeats the right's unremitting claim that he and only he, at long last, has been a president in touch with average working people.
The list of Trump's anything-but-in-touch-with-working-people history is far too long and burdensome to itemize here; put simply, it spans from his plutocratic tax cuts to his complete lack of expressed compassion for victims of a deadly pandemic he did nothing to inhibit. His brazen elitism and coldness toward average Americans' pain are, alone, legion — and his legacy.
Nevertheless the right persists in the exorbitant lie about Trump's touching concern for the average, working American, which is as cynical as his election-fraud claims, which the Post condemns. Just say it, over and over, just say time and again that Trump has been one with the people, and they will come, they will believe.
That's about all the right has in defense of this monster.
