Why wouldn’t you? You were materially damaged by someone lying. That said, I seriously doubt he can make it stick, and it is almost for sure not worth the effort. Of course. This is about PR, not legalities. DUH!
This may be one of the stranger items to come out of an already hectic and bizarre news cycle this weekend. The GOP in general and specifically the Trump campaign have flushed countless millions of dollars into campaigning against Joe Biden, who continued to insist that he would be running for a second term. After he finally announced yesterday that he would be leaving the race, the entire picture changed. This led Donald Trump to take to his Truth Social media platform and posit a question. Should the GOP seek reimbursement for fraud after spending all of that money focusing on someone who clearly was not going to be serving a second term?
Unexpected or “black swan” is one thing. Maliciously withholding information is quite another.
Now OF COURSE he wasn’t serious when Trump said it, but there IS a grain of truth, there–like in all good satire. The term “reparations” is the tip-off that this is an incisive joke. And Lefties famously have no sense of humor (“Yawohl!”), so they will be very concrete about this!
