Donald Trump has been called a lot of things. “Forgiving” is not one of them.

But to carry a grudge for nearly five years, and to continue trying to prove a point that has already been disproved by numerous federal courts and by his own first-term attorney general when there is nothing to be gained . . . well, that defies reason, even for an angry, embittered, supremely sore loser.

Or might there, after all, be something to gain by calling for a special prosecutor to open yet another investigation into former President Joe Biden’s actions during his term in office, as well as Trump’s never-ending insistence that the 2020 election was fraudulent? What purpose could be served by dragging an ill, elderly man through the muck of Trump’s delusions, and submitting the country to yet another ignominious travesty?

Trump would have us believe that he is taking his time and attention away from the country’s very real problems to regurgitate his five-year-old bile for the sole purpose of saving our nation. In his own words:

“Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING. A Special Prosecutor must be appointed. This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin!” [Eric Tucker, AP, June 20, 2025.]

Even if he were right — which he isn’t — what would it matter now?

Well, consider this: We’ve all heard his disingenuous comments about a possible third term . . . and even a sly suggestion that there might be a simple way to circumvent the Constitutional two-term limitation.

If the 2020 election were, as he so fervently desires, somehow to be declared null and void, wouldn’t Trump then retroactively declare himself the actual winner? And is it a stretch of the imagination to think he would then proclaim himself entitled to serve out that four-year term, in addition to the one he is currently serving?

In such a cataclysmic event, who would decide these questions . . . The Republican-majority Congress? The conservative-weighted Supreme Court? And what would happen to all of the actions that were taken during Biden’s four-year term?

Any way you look at it, it is a Constitutional nightmare waiting to happen . . . one that would make the Watergate scandal of the ‘70s look like a day at Disney World. And the decision as to the appointment of a special prosecutor rests in the hands of Trump appointee, Attorney General Pam Bondi.

I think I’m going to be sick.

Just sayin’ . . .
