As a defendant, Donald Trump has the right to remain silent.

He just doesn’t have the ability.

This weekend, he did an interview on Face the Nation where he admitted that he had been told by lawyers that there was no election fraud, but he ignored them and proudly proclaimed that he pushed the fake election lies anyway.

“You know who I listened to? Myself,” Trump said, explaining why he ignored the advice of people who know stuff.

Then later he criticized Biden for being out of touch, claiming that Biden would lead us into “World War Two.” That is not a typo. That’s what he said. In that same speech, he proudly proclaimed that in the polls for 2024 that he was ahead of “Obama” (who, of course, is not running) and then bragged about the “fact” that he had beaten Obama in 2016. (I shouldn’t have to remind you that his opponent in 2016 was Hillary Clinton, right?) He then claimed in another interview that he didn’t know that someone had given Dr. Fauci the Presidential Award. (It was him. He gave Fauci the award.)

Yes, this is the man who claims Biden is “cognitively impaired.”

But he didn’t stop there.

He celebrated Rosh Hashanah by tweeting a graphic claiming he had done wonderful things for the Jewish people while berating the vast majority who never voted for him: “A reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America & Israel because you believed false narratives! Let’s hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward!” Trump thinks if you didn’t vote for him, you are in support of “destroying America and Israel.” Remember that, my Jewish friends: Trump may constantly push standard anti-semitic conspiracy theories while claiming that Nazis and Klan members contain “good people” but he’s really on your side — you’re just too stupid to realize it.

I will give him credit for one thing, though: At the end of his tweet where he proclaims he’s done so much for Israel (as if that’s the only issue American Jews care about), he states that he is “Clearly, one of the greatest Anti Semites of our time!”

So I guess he does say the truth every once in a while.
