“When he was campaigning Trump told you he was going to raise tariffs, so he’s doing what he campaigned on,” is a thing people say. Fair enough.

Trump’s assault was on U.S. democracy as a whole. But the voters for whom he showed the least respect and the most malice were those in Nevada and the other 6 states where Trump and his henchmen conspired to organize fake electors. https://t.co/B2efNxBZEq
