He is back! Toured the country despite lawsuits against his company and pretended to be “reinstated” as US President in a few weeks’ time. Donald Trump is rumbling about to prepare for his comeback – with outrageous claims.
It was only a handful of weeks in which the world had some quiet before the real estate agent from Mar-a-Lago. But after half a year on the sidelines, the elected US President Donald Trump is pushing himself back into the limelight. Or is pushed there: The New York Public Prosecutor’s Office is apparently filing a lawsuit against his company, the Trump Organization; for the coming weeks 17 (disclosure) books about his term of office have been announced, for which he has given 22 interviews; and now he’s back on a big tour around the country to keep his enormous masses of fans warm.
Even if the ex-president has not yet explicitly formulated his goal, most Americans suspect what the comeback show will lead to: the candidacy for the presidential election in 2024. In the opinion of Trump, and even more of his fans, he continues to do so actual head of state is. After all, according to the conspiracy theory, which has been ventilated for months, the November election was manipulated in favor of Joe Biden and the old president therefore also the current president. In fact, however, nothing speaks in favor of election fraud – neither recounts nor other indications point to fraud.
Ex-Justice Minister Barr speaks of “bullshit”
Even William Barr, ex-attorney general and Trump for a long time, recently described the manipulation allegations unusually clearly as “bullshit”. Nevertheless, the loser in the election relentlessly bumps into the horn of the “big election theft”, for example last weekend when he held his first mass rally in the state of Ohio after the end of his presidency. There, in Wellington, the CNN reporter Donie O’Sullivan was also on the road and spoke to supporters of Trump. What he heard should confirm all those who have long been warning of outbreaks of violence by disappointed Trump supporters.
“It will return soon and you will perish,” said a Trump fan named Ron to the CNN journalist. And: “The military has long known about the fraud. He won by more than 80 percent. He will be back before mid-August,” said Ron in front of the cameras. “And what if not?” O’Sullivan wants to know. “Then there will be a civil war, because then the military will take over,” continues Ron, who poses as a member of the so-called “Three Percenter”.
This far-right militia was involved in the storming of the Capitol earlier this year, and six members have already been charged for it. The statements made by individual extremists may not be particularly representative, but the mood among right-wing and conservative Americans is increasingly being determined by theories of fraud and seizure-of-power. More than half of Republican voters believe the election was “stolen” and that Donald Trump remains the rightful President of the United States.
Trump: “Will be reinstated in August”
His supporters are particularly fond of hearing when Trump speaks of being “reinstated” as US President in August, as he is said to have said to a number of confidants, according to media reports. According to surveys, 30 percent of Republicans are even willing to believe this thesis. In this context, Trump’s former security advisor Michael Flynn would even “welcome” a coup à la Myanmar.
Long before the election, Trump and his followers had spread the myth of an “unclean” vote in order to shake the credibility of the polls. And so it went on after November, when the defeat of the incumbent was certain. Many Americans find this legend on fertile ground, because only ten to twenty percent of the population still trusts the work of the US Congress and the political system. Quite a few experts therefore fear that right-wing political violence could increase significantly.
What is certain, however, is that Donald Trump will not be reinstated as US President. At least not in a legal way and as long as he hasn’t won an election. Because such a procedure is not provided for in US law anywhere. Not even if, against all odds, it turns out that the November presidential election was actually manipulated to the disadvantage of Trump.
The “AZCentral”, a newspaper from Phoenix, Arizona commented on the return dreams of some conservatives with a shake of the head, saying: “There is no provision in the US constitution for removing an elected president from office and replacing him with someone, who lost the election. That doesn’t happen in democracies. It happens in banana republics. ”
