Trump is the reason Biden got those votes

I have the answer to E-R letter writers Barry Johnson and Loretta Ann Torres questions about how Joe Biden polled so many votes. Four years of Donald Trump!

The things he’s done and his delusional and dishonest rhetoric has motivated new voters and awoken others to the danger this man poses. Some recent examples of his delusional thinking:

His phone call to Georgia Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger where he said the following; “I just want to find 11,780 votes,” “and there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated.” Then later in the call, while making the argument that he’d won Georgia by hundreds of thousands of votes, the real whopper when he said, “we won every state, we won every statehouse in the country.”

Ask yourself, did Trump really think his phone call would change the outcome in Georgia after three recounts? Does he really believe he won every state? That he won California and New York?

Even worse he has been priming his followers with overturning the election at the Electoral College vote count, something that was never going to happen. The big problem was his followers believed him and thought they could bend the election to their will and install Trump.

The man is seriously mentally ill and doesn’t appear to live in reality. While I have no use for Joe Biden, and didn’t vote for him, Donald Trump is not the answer for what ails America.
