“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years … People still talking about this guy, this creep? That is unbelievable.” — Donald Trump on July 8 during a cabinet meeting
Yes, the flies are still circling the stench.
Apparently, our president agrees with my own observation, “It’s better to beat a dead horse, than a live one.”
For instance:
Trump-Truth Social June 20, 2025: “The 2020 election was a total fraud! The evidence is massive and overwhelming.”
He actually started beating this horse to death 13 years ago.
When Obama became the first (and only?) black President: “We can’t let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty.” — Donald J. Trump, Nov. 7, 2012
Not only generously complaining when other Republicans lose, he also follows suit when he himself is declared the “whiner”-in-chief.
In November 2016, the proud president-elect said: “In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote … if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” (Food for thought — he admits he won when there were millions of illegal votes cast. Makes a body think.)
Dozens of court cases and investigations fail to produce anything to back his claims, but his acolytes still carry the torch. The difference between terrorists and patriots depends solely on political persuasion. “Where are you, Mike Pence?”
Since 2020 alone, Trump’s propaganda scorecard reads as such:
• 68 claims that the elections are rigged
• 35 claims that the elections have been stolen
• 250 claims that elections are frauds
• And 40 claims that he actually won, when he didn’t
Talk about a “dead horse.” Even Trump admits it: “Get out and vote! Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore.”
“Fixed.”
