Share
The Big Lie Has Always Been the Plan Donald Trump didn’t just start claiming elections were rigged in 2020—it started in 2012 when he called President Obama’s re-election a “total sham.” There was no evidence then.

The administration appears to be following advisor Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone” strategy—releasing a barrage of proposals and plans, many of which may never materialize, creating chaos and confusion.
