Really?"
I doubt it received much attention internationally but that is a direct quote by John Eastman, the attorney for Trump who advised him that he had a valid legal basis not to concede the presidential election to Biden, and instead insist, despite all facts to the contrary, that he had won re-election. After the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, and after conceding to an attorney in the White House that the legal opinion he was pushing would likely be unanimously rejected by all 9 justices on the U.S. Supreme Court, Eastman realized he faced possible criminal prosecution, and attempted to see if Trump would give him a preemptive pardon before leaving office. Tigger and I were joking that he seems to have the mentality of a certain type of brat.
