Earlier this week, Donald Trump appeared at a rally just outside of Des Moines, Iowa. You might wonder why a sitting president in his second term, who cannot seek re-election, is still holding campaign rallies, but I suppose he simply likes the attention.
Trump beat an all-too-familiar drum to the assembled crowd. You know the drill: all the things that are currently going wrong are actually Joe Biden’s fault, that the economy is secretly booming and you just haven’t noticed it yet, and that (as Trump put it), “inflation has been defeated“. Uh-huh.
