Have you heard the one about the former president who refuses to accept that he lost an election that happened three years ago, then blames completely unrelated and tragic events overseas on his imaginary belief the election was rigged, thereby illustrating just how unhinged he is from reality? Oh, you have? Well, it keeps going.

Trump went ALL CAPS in a typo-ridden Friday morning social media post that raises little else but the question: How is this guy the Republican frontrunner for the 2024 presidential election?

Trump wrote on Truth Social:

THE ATTACK ON ISRAEL WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED, ZERO CHANCE, IF THE ELECTION OF 2020 WAS NOT RIGGED AND STOLLEN. IT SHOWS THE WORLD HOW IMPORTANT ELECTIONS ARE. IRAN WAS BROKE AND TALKING, NOW THEY ARE RICH AND WATCHING, WAITING TO MAKE THEIR MOVE, AND IT WILL BE A BIG ONE! HOW COULD CROOKED JOE BIDEN, THE WORST AND MOST INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN? WE WENT FROM THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS AND PEACE, TO UNPRECEDENTED DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. NEVERTHELESS, THIS BIG AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS SOLVABLE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

These aren’t Trump’s first comments about the Israel-Hamas war. His first were also totally about him: he raised personal attacks against Israel’s leader Benjamin Netanyahu and bafflingly praised Hezbollah as “very smart.”

In new polls, Trump is beating President Joe Biden in the swing states of Michigan and Pennsylvania by 7 and 9 points respectively. This guy. Right here.

To quote former Trump chief of staff John Kelly: “God help us.”
