How to Defeat Trump: Enlist Those Who Served Him

If Donald Trump’s near-death experience had really triggered a life change or religious epiphany, he would not have repeatedly lied in his RNC acceptance speech.

But every fact check of the speech counted dozens of falsehoods – about immigration, crime, the economy, taxes, inflation, electric vehicles, US energy production, foreign policy, the alleged “weaponization” of the Biden Justice Department against him, and of course the 2020 election.

You could also tell Trump hadn’t changed when he didn’t require his Vice Presidential selection, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, to retract his post on Twitter/X that “The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs,” Vance posted on X shortly after the shooting, adding, “That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”

Immediately after Vance’s post, Trump named him as his running mate. And Vance, once one of Trump’s most outspoken critics, defended his actions on Jan. 6 and has said he would not have certified election results showing Trump had lost the 2020 election, as Vice President Mike Pence did.
