Yes, âMadmanâ Trump Believes He'll Be Back In White House By August
Earlier this week, the
New York Times' Maggie Haberman reported that Donald Trump expects to be "reinstated" as president by August â inspiring some Republicans to accuse her of making it up. But conservative journalist Charles C.W. Cooke, in an article for the
National Review, writes that Haberman was not fear-mongering and that Trump really does believe he will be returning to the Oval Office this summer.
"Haberman's reporting was correct," Cooke writes. "I can attest, from speaking to an array of different sources, that Donald Trump does indeed believe quite genuinely that he â along with former Senators David Perdue and Martha McSally â will be 'reinstated' to office this summer after 'audits' of the 2020 elections in Arizona, Georgia and a handful of other states have been completed. I can attest, too, that Trump is trying hard to recruit journalists, politicians and other influential figures to promulgate this belief â not as a fundraising tool or an infantile bit of trolling or a trial balloon, but as a fact."
