This became the official narrative for decades until a family-led campaign instigated one of the most complex inquiries in history.

This book reproduces tweets and retweets by Donald J. Trump from November 2, 2020, the day before Election Day, to January 8, 2021, the day Trump was banned from Twitter. This book also covers a controversial phone call by Trump and reproduces the major speeches Trump gave in January 2021. Many of these tweets were marked by Twitter with the disclaimer, “This claim about election fraud is disputed.” And indeed, many of Trump’s claims in his tweets about fraud or irregularities in the 2020 election are indeed disputed. The same goes for Trump’s claims in his phone call and speeches.

Political and Lifestyle Commentary from a young conservative’s point of view.
