“Any discussion of the opening days of Donald Trump’s presidency must start at the key date — last Nov. 5, when he rose from the political dead to seize his second term in the White House. His comeback victory was decisive as he swept all seven battleground states on the way to piling up 312 electoral votes, winning the popular vote and leading the GOP to control of Congress. But first he had to survive two assassination attempts, with one in Pennsylvania a miraculous near miss, and overcome an onslaught of Democratic prosecutions and civil suits designed to defeat and imprison him. All those cases, the first ever brought against a former president, were necessary, Americans were assured by Dems and their media mouthpieces, to protect democracy. The Big Lie — that the weaponization of the courts was anything other than a partisan power play — seems like ages ago.” (04/29/25)
