Conservative writer, Charles Cook this week, writing for the national review said that Donald Trump absolutely

Does believe

That he will somehow become president again in or around August

Of this year. Now, Mr. Cook, again, this is a conservative writing in a conservative outlet, said that he has spoken to people who are

Close to Donald Trump and the Donald Trump is in fact saying these things behind the scenes and that he does in fact believe them. So this is coming from,

You know, uh, direct sources

From the president. I guess that would be actually secondary sources either way. Mr. Cook says, he's

Talked to the people and the people hear Trump say this on the regular. He honestly has fallen into his own delusions.

This is what Mr. Cook had to say. I

Can attest from speaking to an array of different sources that Donald Trump does indeed believe quite genuinely, that he, along with former senators, David Perdue and Martha McSally 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.

The scale of Trump's delusion is quite startling. This

Is merely an eccentric interpretation of the facts or an interesting foible, nor is it an irrelevant example of anguish post-presidency chatter.

It is a rejection of reality

As a rejection of law and ultimately a rejection of the entire system of American government, every day thing. And that second paragraph I just read is absolutely true. Whether or not Donald Trump does believe it that's something that honestly only Donald Trump himself knows he could be putting on a show. We know the man is quite possibly one of the greatest con men this country has ever seen.

So he could easily convince

People that he believes these things, even if he doesn't. So I don't know that I am sold on that yet. It wouldn't surprise me. I mean, the man has shown that he's, you know, slipping

A little bit, but it is whether he believes

It or not still a rejection of reality

Because

One man, one crazed individual like Donald Trump, that doesn't matter if the man is suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's or anything like that, okay, you get him help. He's done and taken care of

His perpetuation of the delusion is what is so dangerous. Pushing it on to others is dangerous.

Making others believe the crazy things that you believe that's where the problems come in. So again, it doesn't matter if Trump believes it or doesn't believe it. The fact that he's getting other people to believe it, the fact that he is making people talk about it,

That's where the danger lies. It is a rejection of reality. And as cooked

Pointed out, it's also a rejection of the rule of law here in the United States, because there's literally nothing that can happen. That would cause Trump to be re-instated. All of these elections have been certified not to mention the audits haven't found any fraud at all,

But even if they had, which they won't,

The elections have been certified, they're done you can't de-certify at this point, you can't change the, what happened. There is no mechanism in any law in the United States that would allow for this to happen. So if you think Trump is going to be reinstated in August or in July or September or wherever without being actually elected in the next election, you're crazy. You're kidding yourselves. Because United States law, the us constitution, state laws across the country, none of them have any mechanism to de-certify and election, and then recertify a new

Winner. That's not a thing that exists, but Trump wants his idiotic supporters to think that it is, that is why he's pushing this alternative reality. And in

This alternative reality where you had ballot shipped information, oh, actually what was the day they bounced around? They went to from, from Hong Kong to Germany. I think it was. And then, uh, oh shoot. I forget the other one. They went to some other country and then they came back to the United States as the new conspiracy. Uh, yeah, if you believe that,
