The last time Trump publicly used the kind of language that he spewed on Sunday was when Congress was certifying Biden’s election win and his mob invaded the US Capitol, calling for the execution of then-Vice President Mike Pence, who refused to break the law to keep Trump in power. The embittered former commander in chief, however, was locked in his false but damaging alternative reality, to which millions of his followers subscribe, that he was the victim of a massive election fraud effort. Depending on how it progresses in the Senate, the House passage of Biden’s $1.9 trillion Covid rescue plan early Saturday could also accelerate the end of a pandemic that the ex-President ignored completely in his final weeks in office. The distribution of a third Covid-19 vaccine - manufactured by Johnson & Johnson - is stirring new hope that a version of normality could be restored by the summer. Last seen leaving Washington in disgrace, the ex-President’s self-regarding wander through old political fights emphasized his obsession with revenge at a time when the attention of the majority of the nation not in his camp is concentrating on more immediate concerns.
