Rewriting History

 Donald Trump accidentally admitted defeat and Joe Biden won the election when, in the middle of the night, he twitter tweeted, beginning with the words "he won". Horrified by this spontaneous,  unintended outburst of honesty, millions of Trump twitter tweet followers rescued their albatross leader by convincing themselves that the whole social media platform had been "rigged". Trump later clarified, just like he later clarified the Access Hollywood pussy grabbing tape by later calling it "locker room talk". This is noteworthy, because he never offered clarification concerning his assertion that windmills cause cancer, nor that George Washington's army captured airports, nor that American friendship with Italy dates from the reign of Julius Caesar.President elect Biden and his chief of staff are beseeching the Trump administration to give them briefings on Covid 19, immigration policy, and other matters, as preparation for the incoming administration.Maybe Biden shouldn't bother. What can anyone within the Trump administration offer,other than lies, lunacy, and idiocy? Biden's people would show up expecting to be properly informed, only to be informed that Covid 19 is a hoax, all immigration problems can be fixed by merely building a wall and kidnapping children, and the North Korean dictator, formerly known as "little rocket man", isn't such a bad guy after all, with or without nuclear weapons. The ancient Egyptians and the Stalinist Russians tended to erase from their records all history which proved inconvenient to them or did not serve their purposes. Maybe that's not such a bad idea. it becomes tempting to merely refer to the period 2017-2021 as "The Dark Ages", and say nothing further. Why not? Inventing alternative, false realities was the favorite past time of the Trump administration, part and parcel for his supporters, who are even now engaged in the lunatic folly of deceiving themselves that the election of Biden was rigged, stolen. Trump, years in advance of the election, said that it would be, a prophecy rooted in lunacy. I have still not heard a single trump supporter acknowledge that Donald Trump is a chronic, pathological liar, nor that he has ever told a single lie. That in itself is telling. That in itself is tragic. Shortly after Pfizer and Moderna announced the successful development of vaccines for Covid 19, lame duck president Donald Trump got in front of a camera,  praised the development, and reminded us al that this wonderful event had taken place on his watch. As if we needed to be told. As if he personally had anything to do with it. Give Trump credit. he is consistent. He never tries to hid his idiotic, delusional, pervasive narcissism. But at least now that a quarter million Americans have died from the virus, the president has the good sense to no longer call it a  hoax.
