Trump Returns to Grievances for Closing Argument

“Donald Trump barreled through Sunday in a state of seeming rage from which nothing and no one appeared safe,” Politico reports.

“He said he ‘shouldn’t have left’ the White House in January of 2020, a remarkable admission from a former president whose attempts to cling to power led to a deadly riot at the Capitol. He suggested he wouldn’t ‘mind’ if someone had to ‘shoot through the fake news’ to get to him, an escalation of violent rhetoric that his team quickly sought to clean up.”

“He further worked to stoke fears about a rigged election in a county where some voter-registration applications remain under review for potential fraud. And he railed against ‘crooked’ polls that showed warning signs for his campaign.”

“And that was all in just one rally, on his penultimate day on the trail.”
