If only Trump had won the last election, nothing bad would have occurred in the world.

Mr. Trump had opened the rally by saying that Israel was under attack, adding that “it would not have happened if we were in office — they know that, we know that, everyone knows that.” Onstage, at rallies over the last year, Mr. Trump has done these alt-universe loops in which if the election hadn’t been taken from him, nothing bad would have befallen the world — no embarrassing Afghanistan withdrawal, no Hamas attack on Israel, no Russian invasion of Ukraine, no inflation. Sometimes, with the way Mr. Trump talks, he can subtly lock more and more people into his inability to process his 2020 defeat. He does this by pairing his personal misfortune with that of the entire globe.

Trump the bumbling, lying buffoon says peace would prevail if he were POTUS. LMAO.

But on Saturday night, these hypotheticals ended someplace else. When talking about the world being ablaze, Mr. Trump told the crowd about something Viktor Orban, the illiberal prime minister of Hungary, had said: “Bring Donald Trump back as president and it’ll all stop.” As Mr. Trump put it, “He said something else, and I wouldn’t say it, I wouldn’t really like the word. ‘China was afraid of Donald Trump, Russia was afraid of Donald Trump, everybody was afraid of Donald Trump’ — I don’t want to say that. I want to say they respected me.”

Ever the narcissist. Don't you love how he makes up these phony 'conversations'?

I'd love it far more if there weren't so many people being suckered/snookered into his Cult and weren't planning on voting him into office again this November!

I'm still optimistic Democracy and Rationality will prevail and he will lose, but I'm starting to have some doubts, particularly the more I hear about young people planning on voting for someone other than Biden or Trump merely to virtue signal their personal conscience and failing to appreciate the stratospherically high stakes of throwing their vote away and increasing the likelihood that Trump will win, which would be the far worse outcome.
