In 2016, the amoral and utterly corrupt Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in no small part by depicting her as corrupt (Crooked Hillary) and tarnishing her with an email “scandal” that would have quickly dissipated had she dealt with it honestly and forthrightly.

Hillary had more baggage than almost any other presidential candidate in recent history, but she was a paragon of virtue compared to the reptilian Trump. The master of projection, convinced the electorate that he was less corrupt than Hillary Rodham and Bill Clinton.

In his 2020 reelection campaign, Trump brought on his impeachment by bribing and cajoling the president of Ukraine to announce an investigation of Joe Biden and his son Hunter. There was no evidence that Joe Biden was guilty of any illegal activity in Ukraine, and there was no evidence that Hunter Biden was anything other than a slimeball who was profiting over his father’s name. Trump attempted to convince the American public that Joe Biden was a swamp creature and unworthy of the presidency.

Biden was nowhere near as corrupt as Trump was trying to portray him, but he was a presidential candidate with nearly universal name recognition, and not a scintilla of charisma and predictably his campaign soon went bust. It should be noted that this is Biden’s third presidential run and he has yet to win a single primary or caucus.

Trump shot his wad at Biden all for naught, and now how will he deal with the eventual Democratic presidential nominee, whether it’s the socialist Bernie Sanders, the billionaire Mike Bloomberg or the upstart Mayor Pete?

Just remember that Trump is a lying scumbag, and he will lie about his opponent in the general election. Bernie Sanders is a socialist and not a communist, Mike Bloomberg is a self-made billionaire and not the leader of an international cabal of bankers and Mayor Pete is a moderate and not a gay radical.
