Trump inadvertently said people who believe his election-fraud theories are stupid

Former President Donald Trump published a grammatically confusing statement that inadvertently insulted those who believe his 2020 election-fraud claims.

"Anybody that doesn't think there wasn't massive election fraud in the 2020 presidential election is either very stupid, or very corrupt!" he said in a Saturday statement.

Critics pounced on the error. They said the former president used a double negative and wound up insulting those who espoused his claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him, rather than those who rejected the claim.

Unemployed 41-Year-Old Loses Bid To Have Parents Pay Him An Allowance For Life

https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/unemployed-41-year-old-loses-bid-to-have-parents-pay-him-an-allowance-for-life/ar-AARxneJ

Faiz Siddiqui, an unemployed 41-year-old man lives rent-free in his parent’s £1 million apartment in London. The man’s parents live in Dubai and have been financially supporting him for 20 years.

After getting fed up with their son, they finally decided to cut him off.

That led Siddiqui to sue his parents for lifelong financial support. Siddiqui claims that he is dependent on his “enormously wealthy” elderly parents and wants support from them for the rest of his life.

A court rejected Faiz Siddiqui’s attempts to live off his parents.
Siddiqui’s claim was rejected after the court took all of Siddiqui’s constraints into consideration and stated that "Parents should be under no legal duty to support their adult children however grave their need."

Siddiqui has a master's degree in taxation from Brasenose College, a part of the University of Oxford, and is in no way unqualified to make a living. He even worked at reputed law firms after he graduated but has been unemployed since 2011.

Siddiqui claims he is a 'vulnerable' adult.
Siddiqui states that he has some health issues that qualify his parents to support him financially for the rest of his life. However, his parents refuted the claim and stated they were already paying him around £1500 a month and didn’t want to do any more than that.

Trump attacks media and Mark Milley in foul-mouthed Mar-a-Lago speech to young rightwingers

In remarks to diners at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Saturday night, Donald Trump called the American media “crooked ba**ards” and Gen Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, a “fu**ing idiot”.

The meandering, foul-mouthed speech to Turning Point USA, a group for young conservatives, was streamed by Jack Posobiec, a rightwing blogger and provocateur.

The insult to the press recalled barbs while Trump was in power, including calling reporters and editors “fake news” and the “enemy of the people”, attacks many in the media regarded as dangerous, inviting political violence.

“The country is at a very important, dangerous place,” Trump said, amid familiar lies about his defeat in the 2020 election, which he says was the result of electoral fraud.

“We have no press. The press is so corrupt. We don’t have a press. If there is a good story about us, a good story about any of the people that are Republicans, conservatives, they make it a bad story. And if it’s a bad story they make it the worst story in history. It is the most dishonest group of people.”
