Trump Rage-Tweets Thanksgiving Message Of Hate To America

This Thanksgiving, outgoing President Donald Trump is continuing his long tradition of self-obsession. As Joe Biden prepares to become president in January, Trump continues to insist that the recent election was “rigged” against him, which there’s simply no sign of any meaningful evidence for whatsoever. Trump re-upped this claim in a Thursday morning message to America — Thursday, of course, was Thanksgiving in the United States. This Thanksgiving looks different for a lot of Americans; COVID-19 has claimed so many lives, and elsewhere, concerns about spreading the virus have driven dial-downs of in-person gatherings. Trump remains obsessed with himself.

On Thursday, he tweeted as follows:

‘Just saw the vote tabulations. There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes!!! This was a 100% RIGGED ELECTION.’

What is he even talking about? “Vote tabulations”? Trump’s apparent attempt to sound “in the know” just makes him sound even more ignorant. “Vote tabulations” aren’t some specific thing, as Trump seems to suggest — if he’s referring to the vote tallies: well, those are underpinned by ample supporting evidence all around the country. Despite Trump’s claims to the contrary, Republican observers were not systematically excluded from the ballot tabulation process; these Republicans, like others, watched the actual, physical tabulation of many actual, physical ballots. The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that there is “no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”

More broadly: this tweet, and a follow-up post in which Trump lauds a temporary halt from the U.S. Supreme Court on COVID-19-induced public gathering restrictions in New York, aptly represent the failures of the Trump presidency. Americans are struggling — COVID-19 cases are surging, and accompanying economic calamity is continuing to spread. Many American families likely don’t have adequate food supplies; with tens of thousands of Americans currently in the hospital with COVID-19, many other American families are likely experiencing an increased level of financial and personal strain. President Trump’s concerns are elsewhere.
