SO sad.
SO unfair.
WITCH HUNT!
PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!
All Trump wanted to do was overthrow our Democracy, and the weaponized government, which exists only to give Trump a bad day, forced Mike Pence to sit down and tell them all about how Trump wanted him to carry out that wish.
I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

(18,837 posts)In his desperation to remain in the White House after Joe Bidens win in the 2020 election, then-President Donald Trump reportedly resorted to schoolyard threats against Mike Pence to convince him to overturn the results by rejecting certification. You can do this. I dont want to be your friend anymore if you dont do this, Trump told Pence after the then-vice president declined to throw the election, according to a new book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. The book, titled Peril, details Trumps final chaotic days in office. According to excerpts published by CNN on Tuesday, Trump apparently pinned his hopes on Pence wanting to be cool and impress the MAGA fans pushing for Trump to stay in the White House. If these people say you had the power, wouldnt you want to? Trump reportedly asked, referring to supporters. When Pence objected to the idea of any one person having that much authority, Trump shot back: But wouldnt it be almost cool to have that power? according to CNN.

(5,494 posts)Why does this sound so much like a line from a bad gangster/Mafia/Cosa Nostra movie?
I can imagine Marlon Brando, mouth stuffed with cotton wool, muttering that line suggesting to an underling the choice was between co-operation or his widow weeping over his grave.
But I smile every time Trump mentions 'Not Fair! Witch Hunt!' and correct it to 'Warlock Hunt', and then agree.
But what is a little gender confusion in the scheme of things? (A big thing in Florida, I hear.)

(81,605 posts)because he was - and still is - the whitest white guy on the planet. I think trump saw him and realized there was some major subliminal symbolism that could quietly reinforce some unspoken realities throughout his base. Pence is so white-on-white that he could go as Casper the Friendly Ghost for Halloween and wouldnt need a costume. Or, he could always go as a lightbulb.
