No president in modern US history has exhibited more disdain for the democratic process or disseminated more disinformation during an election cycle that Donald Trump.
Trump falsely and prematurely declared victory in the election early on Wednesday morning with millions of votes still uncounted and vowed to go to the Supreme Court to stop the vote count, in a move that mirrored the behavior of dictators.
Authoritarians claim victory in elections they haven't won and seek to exploit the powers of the state to stay in power, democratic leaders do not.
With his pathway to victory in the 2020 election dwindling on Thursday, Trump called for vote counting to stop. He stated legal votes arriving after Election Day "WILL NOT BE COUNTED," which is both false and a process over which he holds no legal authority. Trump has baselessly claimed the election is being stolen and that "surprise" ballots are being dumped in battleground states to boost former Vice President Joe Biden's chances.
Votes are being counted, not stolen.
What Trump is doing is akin to an NFL team that's losing in the Super Bowl calling for the game to stop with a quarter remaining while accusing their opponent of cheating when they've clearly just been outplayed. To put it another way, the president is throwing an electoral temper-tantrum because he's losing.
An 84-year-old man developed angina while watching televised coverage of the President Trump impeachment hearings and presented to the emergency department with positive cardiac biomarkers and EKG changes indicative of ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Echocardiogram and coronary angiography were consistent with non-ischemic, 3 vessel coronary artery disease with apical hypokinesis resulting in the diagnosis of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. This case is the first report of politically-induced cardiomyopathy and warrants further evaluation of political stress as an etiology of cardiac events.
