 I have not been writing about Trump's obsession of trying to overthrow the election result with ridiculous and false claims.  Those claims are so outrageous that even the justices in the Supreme Court who were appointed by him have ruled against him.  So I figure eventually this will die down and he would have to leave office.  Better spend time worrying about the virus, the economy and all other problems in the nation than worrying about Trump's crazy claims.  But every time it looks like Trump and his allies are coming to the end of the road for them, he will not give up and puts the nation into more danger.

I know Trump does not care about the country and its citizens.  The death rate and hospitalization rate are getting worse.  The economy is plummeting.  Russia is hacking into computers of our companies and government institutions.  Yet Trump just talks about the non existing election frauds.  As our intelligence agencies are accusing of Russia's espionage, he is saying that it is not Russia.  He says it is maybe China even though the evidence is overwhelming that it is Russia.  Why is he so scared of Russia and Putin?  Time after time he has defended Russia over our own intelligence.  Even after Pompeo says it is Russia, Trump tells his staff to stand down on this claim?  Why?

Now there are reports that he wants to appoint Sidney Powell to be special council to investigate election fraud.  The same Powell who was on his team alleging voter fraud.  How is that for a democracy.  Michael Flynn is advocating that Trump declare martial law to prevent the transfer of power?  How is that for a democracy?  It seems like Trump and his supporters think we are a banana republic.  I think four more years of Trump in power will turn U.S into one.

I thought all along that Trump is doing all this even if he knows he can't win is because he can raise millions of dollars.  He loves money and given that he is deep in debt and probably need defense funds after he leaves office, he is trying to get as much money as possible.  Those people who four years ago believed that he will build a wall and Mexico will pay for it, are now contributing money for overturning the election.  Once again these people are taken by this snake oil salesman.

But at least these people taken by Trump are just losing their money.  The really dangerous people are those who threatened the REPUBLICAN election officials in Georgia and other states for not overturning election results.  The idea of martial law is attractive to them.  They think Trump will help them overthrow the government.  They won't be successful.  But I am sure Russia will be willing to lend them a helping hand!
