Trump says 'rigged election' means he gets to host World Cup and Olympics (www.thejournal.ie)

DONALD TRUMP SAID he gets to host the World Cup and 2028 Olympics because “they rigged the election”.

The president told a reception of the international football governing body Fifa in New York he “was supposed to not be here right now”, in reference to the second and final four-year term he would have served if he had won the 2020 election.

Trump’s comments come after he renewed claims in a prime-time TV address to the nation on Thursday that the White House race he lost to Joe Biden had been stolen from him, despite evidence to the contrary.

What the last 10 years should have taught us is:

A third of Americans are racist, greedy, morons, poorly educated or criminal.
A third of Americans can't be bothered to do their civic duty to be informed and vote intelligently and they will just go along with the loudest lies.
A third of Americans who are paying attention, and are intelligently voting, must do a whole lot more than just protest, voice opinions and/or write letters.
