Trump’s complaints about the future of U.S. elections turn ironic

"It’s unrealistic to try to highlight every error of fact and judgment in the former president’s rant, though to quickly review some of the basics, there’s literally no evidence of President Joe Biden being corrupt; Biden isn’t responsible for Trump’s prosecution; the charges weren’t filed earlier because they weren’t ready until now; the “election interference” claims don’t make any sense at all; and the charges are unprecedented because the United States has never before had an unpardoned former president credibly accused of multiple felonies.

But that’s not the interesting part.

Rather, what stood out for me was his apparent concerns about the implications of his indictments. “Is this going to be the future of elections in America?” the former president asked. “Can a president order his Department of Justice to indict an opponent just prior to an election?”"
