Trump predicted that if Biden won, the economy would crash, crime would soar and Christmas would be canceled. None of that happened, but he’s reusing those claims anyway.

If the election does not go his way, the economy will tank, Christmas will be canceled, and America as we know it will be “finished,” Donald Trump promised in the run-up to the 2020 election.

That race did not go his way, of course, and none of Trump’s prophesied cataclysms materialized under Joe Biden’s presidency. But that has not stopped Trump from recycling some of the same dark portents about a Kamala Harris presidency.

Creepy weirdoes like donnie need to operate on fear, fear, fear and try to surpass the intellect.

Turns out, that things have been going very well after his exit. I wish he’d just go away and leave American alone - we are just fine without this asshole.

Weren’t there people saying Trump would destroy democracy and the country? This country still has democracy, it’s still intact.

Everyone does this during election season and I hate it. I remember similar rhetoric back when Obama became president.

If you have been paying attention to the supreme Court decisions in the last few years, democracy is very much not intact.

The country barely still has democracy and it is actively under attack. The only reason we even still have what little bit we do is because of the work of people like AOC and Bernie Sanders refusing to roll over for it.

Heck yeah, I mean he did leave office willingly and participated in the peaceful transfer of power, after all.

Yeah, never mind the insurrection (more properly called terrorism) we all saw with our own eyes, along with the coup-plotting being done in parallel.
