Given Donald Trump’s hostility toward democracy, it’s worth pausing when he asks supporters, "Why are we having an election?”

By all appearances, Donald Trump really doesn’t like it when Democrats describe him as a threat to democracy, and yet, the Republican keeps saying things that reflect a degree of animosity toward the American system of government.

Take the former president’s rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, for example. The New York Times reported:

Trump said polls suggested he was at “93 percent” although it was not clear what that number was referring to. The former president said he responded by saying: “So why are we having an election? They didn’t have an election. Why are we having an election?”

    I could see an argument for the first pic being a shadow. Wouldn’t believe it, but it’s slightly plausible at a glance.

    Oh boy, that second pic… That just can’t be fat, can it?!

      There’re other diaper photos, but with AI and deep fakes, nevermind shadows, angles, effects, etc. of days gone by…who really knows anymore.
