'I Suffer for the Country'
Rolling Stone • • nation
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump used a Monday event honoring "Angel Families"—families of Americans killed by undocumented migrants—to focus on his unfounded claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him, expressing that he "suffers" for the country.
- During his speech, Trump accused Democrats of voter fraud without evidence, despite numerous federal and state investigations confirming no widespread fraud in the 2020 election, and claimed that the families present lost their loved ones due to his alleged election loss.
- The event featured Trump making lengthy tangents about his electoral grievances rather than showing empathy for the grieving families, continuing a pattern of making others' tragedies about himself.
- Trump declared February 22 as National Angel Family Day, framing it as a day
