The former president unleashed his usual mix of self-pity, paranoia and self-aggrandizement.
Jabin Botsford, The Washington Post / The Washington Posthas always been that he lies so frequently, and so shamelessly, you can’t keep up.
In his patented fashion, Trump immediately issued a four-minute Truth Social video denouncing the indictment, proclaiming his innocence and insisting that the United States is capsizing without his steady hand to guide it. The following day, he called special counsel Jack Smith a “deranged lunatic.” In fact, Trump is the only president in the history of the Gallup poll who never had a single day in which his approval rating reached as high as 50 percent. He lost the 2020 popular vote by 7 million votes, and his presence as the Republican standard bearer doomed his party to disappointing midterm performances in both 2018 and 2022.But the big issue here is not that Trump harbors delusions about his popularity.
That’s what Mueller’s team did, and they produced indictments against 34 individuals, including Trump associates Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates and Michael Flynn. During his second 2016 presidential debate with Hillary Clinton, he warned her that if he won the election, he would push for a federal investigation into her use of a private email server while she served as secretary of state.
That’s true. It can happen to any citizen who takes sensitive national security documents to their home and obstructs efforts by the National Archives and Records Administration to retrieve those documents.
