Donald Trump is being played
– The real story today is this: Trump is so easily played by his own people, they’ve been able to make him think they’re helping him, simply by Barr issuing an empty vague press release and Pompeo making an awful joke. At this point Trump is an easily tricked toddler. It’s a reminder of why world leaders have been able to walk all over Trump for years.
– Joe Biden’s lead in Georgia has grown to more than 14,000 votes. He’s now more than 4.5 million votes ahead nationwide, and once California and other non-competitive states finish counting their mail in ballots, we expect that number to be closer to 7 million. Rarely does any presidential election end up having a margin that large. Biden scored a dominant Electoral College win, and a popular vote blowout.
