Trump To Be Reinstated As POTUS?
Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2021 8:13 amOne more DJT thread.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised to read something like this, but I was nevertheless astounded when I read this article:
Charles C.W. Cooke, a senior reporter for National Review, said he had confirmed the New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman's reporting on the subject.
"Haberman's reporting was correct," he wrote. "I can attest, from speaking to an array of different sources, that Donald Trump does indeed believe quite genuinely that he - along with former senators David Perdue and Martha McSally - will be 'reinstated' to office this summer."
He added: "Trump is trying hard to recruit journalists, politicians, and other influential figures to promulgate this belief - not as a fundraising tool or an infantile bit of trolling or a trial balloon, but as a fact."
While the NYT has a definite liberal bias and the report could be attributed to the bloodthirsty Democrats looking to keep their boogey man alive and their base motivated, the National Review is a conservative publication. The author noted above, Charles C.W. Cooke, is described by The Atlantic as "perhaps the most confident defender of conservatism younger than George Will" and "a principled conservative who is allergic to anything resembling groupthink."
Assuming the story is true, that Trump actually believes that he will be reinstated as POTUS this summer, there's only two explanations for a belief in such a thing: He's either completely ignorant of the Constitution as there are no provisions for the reinstatement of an elected official following a certified election, OR he is mentally ill, suffering from a textbook case of schizophrenia.
