"Trump has had a remarkable 14 months. Most losing presidential candidates are forced into quiet retirement by their parties."

"Trump has bucked the trend, only tightening his grip on the GOP in the wake of his defeat. He has convinced Republican candidates all over the country—including those on stage tonight—to repeat his election lies, and convinced his rank-and-file supporters to treat those falsehoods as holy writ. By this point, those lies have been circulating for what feels like forever. But at tonight's rally, as Trump’s fans called for the arrests of poll workers and the reinstatement of the rightful president, I got the sense that this might be just the beginning."

From "Trump Soft-Launches His 2024 Campaign/The former president’s message at his Arizona rally was as clear as it was dishonest: He didn’t lose to Joe Biden in 2020, and he’ll spend the next year working to elect Republicans who agree" — by Elaine Godfrey (in The Atlantic).

ADDED: Meanwhile, HuffPo is feeding its readers: "Reconstruction-Era Law Could Keep Trump Off Presidential Ballot In 6 Southern States/The language letting them back into the Union required them to enforce the 14th Amendment’s ban on insurrectionists in federal or state office." 

Delusions all around.
