    Donald Trump: the 45th, 46th and 47th legitimate President of the
    United States. That's quite something. Care to comment, Bill?

    Cursitor Doom does like his misinformation to be thoroughly fatuous.

    Donald Trump's claim to be the 46th president of the US was tested in
    some eighty court cases immediately after that election, and all of them
    were dismissed as being without merit.

    Nobody sane ever took the claims seriously - and that probably includes
    Donald Trump - but people silly enough to fancy Trump as president can't
    be counted as sane, and Trump was cynical enough to exploit that.

    MAGA leadership doesn't care about "the steal" anymore, same as they
    stopped caring about Hunter Biden's laptop two seconds after he was
    pardoned.

    It's all old news and they've moved on to the next manufactured outrage
    to get the rubes riled up.

    You seriously believe anyone above a room-temp IQ in the US thought it

    Today's New York Times has a font-page article to the effect that
    people don't like Trump but strongly agree with his policies. Maybe
    the US population is acquiring a little common sense.

    "He lost 46" is a pretty grave slip of the tongue for a MAGA to make but everyone should get a shot at a rephrase now and then.

    Staying in lib San Fran is probably a good idea if one's going to go
    around making lexical errors like that...

    John Larkin isn't all that serious, but serious people all believe that
    Biden did win, and there were a bunch of US court cases at the time that supported that idea. trump got quite upset about them.

    Probably not. Trump's silly ideas meant that Covid-19 killed more
    Amercians than it should have done. That wasn't fun

    Can't argue with that!

    Not effectively - Cursitor Doom approach to argument is to put forward
    any number of fatuous misapprehensions and assure us the evidence that
    shows them to be fatuous is not to trusted because he thinks he knows
    better.

    the US population is acquiring a little common sense.

    He killed about half a million of them by his mismanagement of the
    Covid-19 response, and got himself very sick in the process.

    His come-back demonstrates that some politicians can fool enough of the
    people, enough of the time. Common sense doesn't come into it - as John
    Larkin would know if he had any.

    What Trump did do was play up to popular delusions, and launched a few
    of his own - like immigrants eating people's pets. Karmala Harris
    couldn't keep a straight face when he threw that nonsense into the "presidential" debate. J.D.Vance got stuck with appearing to take that seriously, which must have been humiliating.
