'Historically criminal event': Trump rants about 'bigger scandal' in early morning blow-up

Donald Trump was off and running on his Truth Social account early Saturday morning, now claiming that there is a bigger growing scandal than what he believes to be the theft of the 2020 presidential election from him.

A day after flooding his Truth Social account with attacks on the Supreme Court and Republican House members, who can't get a budget deal cobbled together, the president fell back on complaining about his election loss, again, and ramped up new grievances.

Whoever had control of the 'AUTOPEN' is looking to be a bigger and bigger scandal by the moment. It is a major part of the real crime, THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN! Millions and millions of people knew that, but the Radical Left Democrats waged a campaign of inoculation and innocence like none that had ever been waged before," he wrote.

Resorting to his trademark all-caps, he continued. "THIS IS WHY THE UNSELECT COMMITTEE OF POLITICAL THUGS, WHO WERE GIVEN A FULL AND COMPLETE PARDON BY THE PERSON WHO WIELDED THE NOW ILLEGALLY USED AUTOPEN, DELETED AND DESTROYED ALL EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION FROM THEIR CORRUPT AND VICIOUS WITCH HUNT AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE, WHOSE LIVES WERE COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND DESTROYED BY THIS HISTORICALLY CRIMINAL EVENT."

"Remember, it all began with DIRTY COP James Comey, Obama, a hapless and cognitively impaired Sleepy Joe Biden, and my now very famous ACCUSATION that, 'THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!' Whoever had control of the Autopen is just the beginning," he added. "The biggest crime of all is that THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED! I (MAGA!) WON THE ELECTION BY MILLIONS OF VOTES, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. GOD BLESS AMERICA, FOR THE FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN!!!"

that at some point in his life either a teacher or his parents called him that.

His recent use of "cognitively impaired" has me convinced he was told that at his physical

His lack of drive to explore and learn new things will severely limit any meaningful contributions to his community. He is destined to detract from - rather than contribute to society in any positive way.

1. He rigged and stole elections.
2. He uses an Autopen to sign.
3. Radical reichwing Republicans waged a massive campaign of indoctrination and corruption of innocence.
4. The GQP are political thugs who have been fully pardoned by their incompetent leader.
5. The GQP destroyed evidence which proved that Dumpco employed political witch-hunts to destroy their perceive
enemies.
6. They used James Comey to spy on Obama’s, Biden’s, and probably Hillary’s campaigns.
7. Dumpco honestly lost the 2020 election, leading to his true losses of the 2016 and 2024 which they had to employ
cheating to “win”.
8. The GQP is indelibly corrupt.

Since he believes he was elected president from 2020-2024(+), and was "legally" sworn in this time, he may say that the two-term limit is no longer a limit.

He may also just fall back on his "you owe me one more term," but that would mean he could only (in his head) serve three, instead of infinity-plus-one. So for him, a less preferable [ir]rationale.

Pam Blondi informs us that she is going to get rid of the public integrity unit. I think there is a connection here.

So now Congress critters can be targeted.

Rule of law is under assault.
