Donald Trump refuses to accept the reality that he lost the recent presidential election, despite the fact that his claims of some kind of rigged election haven’t ever proven to be anything other than pie-in-the-sky nonsense. Trump has sunk to laughable lows — on Thursday, he retweeted a photo from actor Scott Baio depicting the aftermath of the actor’s adjustments to a candle display at a Michael’s craft store. The candles had letters on them, and Baio had arranged the candles to display the message: “Trump is still your president.” As the U.S. struggles through yet another COVID-19 surge, the president is occupying his time with retweeting an image of a pettily altered candle display in a craft store.

Thank you Scott, and stay tuned. You are terrific! https://t.co/3jhmFqlazE

Donald Trump has always been pathologically obsessed with his public image, but somehow, the fact that the president of the United States of America is seemingly thrilled over one of his prominent supporters possibly making life a little more difficult for a craft store employee feels like a new low. Trump doesn’t seem to particularly care about some of the still very serious aspects of his job, like combating COVID-19. Nope; instead, he’s tweeting, and tweeting, and tweeting. On Thursday morning, for instance, Trump complained that Fox News “forgot the Golden Goose” — meaning, it seems, the president and his supporters. Trump has consistently complained that even the barely critical coverage from the conservative Fox News has been too much for him to accept.
.@FoxNews daytime ratings have completely collapsed. Weekend daytime even WORSE. Very sad to watch this happen, but they forgot what made them successful, what got them there. They forgot the Golden Goose. The biggest difference between the 2016 Election, and 2020, was @FoxNews!

During a recent Fox appearance, top Trump ally Rudy Giuliani cut to the core of the president’s team’s election fraud allegations when he suggested that there could have been an “order” from the top for local Democratic officials to fabricate votes for Biden. Rudy might as well have claimed that Martians have taken over Montana — he’s that profoundly reality-disconnected.
