Harlan Hill, commentator! political consultant! and former Trump campaign advisor, once averred that he was "one hundred percent" sure that his Toddler King would triumph in November's election. But that wasn't all the dapper Mr. Hill had to say.
He also pledged that if Trump went down in defeat, "I'll eat my shoe. We'll do it in a livestream."
Has Harlan lived up to his promise? Not at all, of course. And from it, he has slithered in an almost admirable manner of chickenshitness.
Trump, you see, or as Harlan postures to see it, in fact won the presidential election. In separate tweets since the "consultant's" heartfelt assurances of footwear consumption, he has also sworn that "Trump was robbed," and that "Democratic mob bosses have stolen an election and undermined the democratic process."
I really must remember The Harlan Gambit the next time I play blackjack in a casino, and perhaps lose. I'm just sure the pit boss will forgive any failed, monetary venture.
