Trump insists the United States is 'rigged, crooked and evil'
As Donald Trump’s legal troubles mount, the former president turned to his social media platform over the weekend to whine in a rather provocative way.
“The Witch Hunt continues, and after 6 years and millions of pages
of documents, they’ve got nothing. If I had what Hunter and Joe had, it would be the Electric Chair. Our Country is Rigged, Crooked, and
Evil — We must bring it back, and FAST. Next stop, Communism!â€
Even putting aside his idiosyncratic approach to capitalization, a
variety of details stood out. For example, the Republican didn’t specify which of his many problems he considers “the Witch Hunt.â€
Also notable was the idea that we’ll soon fall victim to “Communism†— a line he echoed yesterday by publishing a follow-up missive that said, “We really are living in a Communist Country.â€
Evidently, it only took a couple of days for us to collectively reach
the “next stop.â€
But of particular interest was Trump’s assertion that the United States is “rigged, crooked and evil.â€
My first thought after seeing this was to wonder what the reaction
might be if a former Democratic president made such criticisms against
his own country. My second thought was to imagine how Republican
candidates on the campaign trail might respond if asked whether they
agreed with Trump’s condemnation.
But ultimately, what struck me as unusual was the fact that the
missive went almost entirely overlooked. A former American president described the United States — his own country — as “evil,†in
writing, on a platform he controls, and this generated almost no
attention whatsoever from the political world.

Since nobody else is paying attention, it's a Good Thing that you are - otherwise, it might not make it into the history books.

States is not a force for good in the world, he’s welcome to make the case.
But it’s more than a little jarring to see the Republican, at different times, both claim the moral high ground on patriotism and denigrate his
own country in ways no former president has ever done.
It also explains why many see Trump use phrasing such as "rigged,
crooked and evil," and effectively say, "There he goes again."

Why is that?
It seemed at least possible that the criticisms went overlooked because
many news organizations just don’t much care about Trump’s Twitter-like social media enterprise, but when he recently used the platform to
direct "death wish" rhetoric at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell,
this generated quite a bit of attention.
The more likely explanation is that we’ve all grown accustomed to the former president’s selective patriotism: Trump’s love of country is, at best, sporadic, so no one's especially surprised when he lashes out like this against the country.
In the summer of 2019, for example, before his Twitter account was suspended, the then-president condemned those who “speak so badly” about the United States. In the same tweet, he expressed disgust for those who
say “many terrible things ... about the United States.”
That, of course, was before he decided that the United States is
“rigged, crooked and evil.”
