‘What is wrong with us?’ Analyst dismayed latest revelation hasn’t finished Trump

Donald Trump's refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election should be enough to disqualify the former president from ever again holding office, according to a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist who wondered, "What is wrong with us?"

In a new op-ed published Thursday in The Washington Post, opinion columnist Eugene Robinson argued that new revelations exposed Wednesday in special counsel Jack Smith’s legal filing gave voters “the perfect distillation of the myriad reasons Donald Trump must never against be president.”

But with just a month to go until Election Day and the race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris a virtual tie, Robinson went on to list examples of Trump’s lawlessness before asking, “So what?”

“So what if Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts by a New York jury?" Robinson asked, using a line in Smith’s filing attributed to Trump to drive home his argument. “So what if Trump lies constantly, blatantly, sometimes viciously, even when there is no dispute about the truth?"

“Nothing matters to Trump except Trump. As easily as he forsakes truth and as easily as he could forsake Pence, he would forsake the nation. That is the ‘so what’ of this election, which Harris must win,” Robinson wrote.

He also slammed Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), who he wrote is in line with the former president’s refusal to “forthrightly acknowledge” his 2020 election loss.

“Does he think Americans are so stupid that they’ll believe him when he says, with Ivy League smoothness and a practiced tone of faux sincerity, that up is down?"

Robinson concluded by pouncing on Trump’s lies about Haitian immigrants in Ohio, crime and the economy.
