Chief among these fixations has been his long-debunked claims about voter fraud, which have led him to push for the doomed SAVE America Act over anything else. He also claimed in his Thursday night address to have declassified newly uncovered documents that would prove his claims about fraud in the 2020 election, but closer inspection by the media found that they were largely a bust.<\/p>\n<p>Writing for the Times on Saturday, columnist Maureen Dowd wrote that Trump &#8220;has reduced the grandeur of obsession to something pathetic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you commandeer prime time, or try to, you\u2019d better have something prime to say. Trump didn\u2019t,&#8221; Dowd wrote. &#8220;His speech on Thursday was a dud \u2014 a batty stew of whiny complaints stemming from an election that he claims was stolen that wasn\u2019t, during a period when he was running the country. If something was wrong, dude, why didn\u2019t you fix it? He still has no proof, and he muddied matters by releasing documents containing information already known and warning about &#8216;vulnerabilities&#8217; his administration has made worse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=3544\">The staggering corruption behind Todd Blanche\u2019s multi-million scheme<\/a><\/p>\n<p>She added later: &#8220;There was barely a peep from Republicans on Capitol Hill about the speech. No organized effort to polish his tirade. You could almost hear the fervent wish of Republican lawmakers watching the president: Please, Donald, move on! But he can\u2019t. His father\u2019s admonition that there are only &#8216;killers&#8217; and &#8216;losers&#8217; plays in a loop in his head, reducing him to jelly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dowd noted further that Trump has typically been able to &#8220;whip up some Poseidon-level winds of conspiracy&#8221; in order to push his  claims forward and leave critics befuddled, but this time, &#8220;he seemed impotent, raving about nonsense,&#8221; and &#8220;struggled to wield his superpower: creating a fake alternate universe for his supporters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Trump wants to continue to be &#8216;the world\u2019s most famous sore loser,&#8217; as Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia calls him, he\u2019s going to need to be more high-T,&#8221; Dowd concluded. &#8220;But can that hormone be prescribed to babies?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=3543\">The book that accidentally created monster Alex Jones \u2014 and the author\u2019s deep regret<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump might need to ask his Pentagon about their new testosterone treatments, according to a new column from The New York Times, as his endless parade of political obsessions has left him in a &#8220;pathetic&#8221; state, typified by his flop primetime address last week.Trump&#8217;s second term in &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1611,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
