The president's call with Georgia election officials is hard to listen to. We spend billions of dollars to make the president the best-informed person on Earth, but the information he's parroting about the election is total bullshit.
It's stunning that the president is peddling this much misinformation even in private. He told Georgia election officials that he actually won the state by a half-million votes. He didn't. It's hard to describe how far removed from reality that fiction is.
One wonders whether anyone who has the president's ear also has the courage to tell him the truth: He lost.
Reading the transcript and it really is amazing how steeped the president is in the details of fantastical, fictional, utterly untrue claims that the election he lost was rigged. He's clearly following the play-by-play of this drama, even though it's entirely made-up.
