In a fact-bending blast of disinformation, the former president is charging Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden’s White House of the very transgressions of which he stands accused.
This is false, but Trump, while president, did repurpose FEMA funds to help finance his hardline immigration policies.
But in retrospect, the charade featuring his first White House press secretary Sean Spicer was a harbinger of an administration that bucked fact as an instrument of political power.
Trump voters respond to his populism and his evisceration of elites and many sincerely believe he’s a response to a march to the left by the Democratic Party.
Both Trump and Harris, who are deadlocked in the polls, are chasing voters who may not habitually follow politics.
