Misbar’s Analysis

Misbar discovered the social media post appeared just a day before Donald Trump’s first public speech since his departure from the Whitehouse. During his speech, he continued to cast doubt on the integrity of the elections stating that the 2020 election will "go down as the crime of the century," according to CNN.com.

Other supporters of Donald Trump are still keeping the hope alive of his return to the office of the President. For example, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is saying there is a clear path for Donald Trump to return back to the Whitehouse by August according to Newsweek. According to Bloomberg.com, Donald Trump also believes he will be back by August after a series of upcoming audits prove a fraudulent election.

However, there are some who are warning against this rhetoric, even if it seems on the surface like a political stunt:

Two months from now, Donald Trump will not be the President of the U.S. If for some reason President Biden is no longer able to serve, then Vice President Kamala Harris would become the President of the United States.
