> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > I wonder whoā€™s lost the most money trying to reinstate Trump? Giuliani and Lyndell are probably the leaders, but thereā€™s bound to be others who arenā€™t in front of camera as much who have contributed to this abyssal money sink. The Dominion lawsuits will eventually settle (yuck-yuck) this question, tbh. ---

The news is full of candidates for the Most Deplorable crown that Donald held for so long: governors like Abbott and DeSantis, working to kill their stateā€™s kids as fast as they can; knuckleheads like Madison Cawthorn, coming up with absurdly-offensive remarks on a regular basis; and of course Tucker Carlsonā€”present and accountable in the white-supremacist dreams of his viewers on a daily basis. (Well, at least five days a week.) So poor Donald is being eclipsed. He will long be referenced by his fans as having been Robbed and as having been Americaā€™s Hope----but they are starting to move on already. And nothing Donald can do or say will ever be outrageously Anti-Lib enough to make up for the fact that _ **he lost** _. ---

Mike, the difference between the truth and what you want to be the truth is amounting to more legal fees than you can raise.
