The former president offered a preview of his political (if not legal) rhetoric.
Donald Trump’s visit to Georgia on Thursday was brief. He flew in to Atlanta, drove to the Fulton County Jail, surrendered to authorities, was processed on criminal charges and then released. Back into the SUV and back to the airport, another rich man heading back north of Richmond.But he did pause for a moment to speak to the media before boarding his “Trump”-emblazoned jet.
Of course, he also challenged the election through the traditional mechanism, in the courts. That yieldedas his attorneys and attorneys for his allies were unable to prove that the election was anything other than a reflection of the will of the American electorate. Trump didn’t like that result, certainly, and he deployed both legal and rhetorical tactics in an effort to challenge it. It didn’t work — but it certainly wasn’t for lack of trying.
But Trump wants his supporters to think that his offense was simply fighting back. So he next drew a common — and silly — analogy.
