Former President Donald Trump has returned to X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, firing off his first message in 2 1/2 years shortly after he surrendered at an Atlanta jail on charges he conspired to overturn his election loss.

He posted a photo of his mug shot and the words, “Election interference. Never surrender!” along with a link to his website, which directs to a fundraising site.

He’s a total looser. He lost the election, he lost the “legal” challenged and the recounts and the “legal” challenges of the recounts and the recounts of the recounts…., he lost the coup attempt … he just keeps loosing.

While the spelling doesn't match the pronunciation...

Loser Losing

He's winning at losing. I wonder if he's getting tired of winning at losing to all this legal shit. Most indictments, most insurrections, most impeachments, most sexual assault suits...
