Trump has been telling a number of people he’s in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August (no that isn’t how it works but simply sharing the information). https://t.co/kaXSXKnpF0— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 1, 2021

It isn’t happening in a vacuum. It is happening as he faced the possibility of an indictment from the Manhattan DA.— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 1, 2021

But he is not putting out statements about the “audits” in states just for the sake of it. He’s been laser focused on them, according to several people who’ve spoken with him (as well as WaPo reporting a few weeks ago).— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 1, 2021

The savvy response to this kind of thing is that of course he doesn’t believe it, it’s just part of an eleventydimensional scheme to A B and C, etc.

The truth is probably simpler: Donald Trump is a deranged old man who genuinely believes some completely crazy things.

He also happens to be the unchallenged leader of one of the nation’s two political parties. Of course the “respectable” [sic] sections of the right wing media are already interpreting all this as evidence that the Republican party is getting ready to “move on” from Trump:

Trump reportedly echoing what lawyer Sidney Powell said over weekend. (See below.) Short answer: Reinstatement cannot and will not happen. If Trump brings this up in public, will likely increase number of Republicans who say they are ready to move on. https://t.co/UVwK3fl5KE https://t.co/rFTee7P2ux pic.twitter.com/AwNR9ZamB0— Byron York (@ByronYork) June 1, 2021

Sure. Because the whole idea that someone like Trump could ever win the Republican party nomination, let alone get elected president, is just crazy talk.

Oops sorry I thought it was 2015 there again for a minute.
