It’s been a long time coming, but two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s 15 minutes of fame are almost over.
She remains deeply unpopular, and her own party has been shoving her aside since her 2016 loss.
Now, of course, Clinton has to seek the limelight any way she can.
Her latest ruse? Spreading phony conspiracy theories about President Donald Trump.
In a recent interview on The Daily Show, Clinton fueled the notion that Trump may refuse to step down as president if he’s defeated in November.
“I think it is a fair point to raise as to whether or not, if he loses, he’s going to go quietly or not,” she said. “We have to be ready for that.”
Ready for what exactly?
As Clinton must surely know, Trump has given no indication whatsoever that he would not accept the presidential election results. In the past he’s joked about being eligible for a third term in 2024 — which admittedly were jokes to upset liberals — but that doesn’t indicate that he’ll hide in the White House bunker until the officials come knocking.
“Certainly if I don’t win, I don’t win,” Trump told Fox News in June. “I mean, you know, go on and do other things.”
But of course, even beyond Clinton, liberals have turned the premise of Trump’s unwillingness to leave the White House as a realistic option post election.
This isn’t the first time she’s spread conspiracy theories about Trump. Her campaign of course helped fund the now-discredited “Steele dossier,” which included plenty of grotesque lies about the president.
In fact, arguably no one in America has played a greater role in spreading Trump conspiracy theories than Clinton.
If Trump loses in November, he’s not going to hunker down in the White House and seek to stay in a job where he’s ceaselessly hammered by the mainstream media.
He’s going to return to his billions of dollars, gorgeous hotels and beautiful golf courses.
Somehow, we think he’ll manage.
