While the demented one once again Rages just remember the Facts of his past...
President Trump spent part of his Sunday telling reporters, once again, that he’s sitting on “truckloads” of evidence proving Democrats “rigged” the 2020 election, a claim he’s been making for years despite having never produced anything that stands up to scrutiny.

"MY INVESTIGATORS JUST GOT BACK FROM HAWAII AND YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY FOUND!"

AI Overview
The phrase "MY INVESTIGATORS JUST GOT BACK FROM HAWAII AND YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY FOUND" is an old, widely cited quote from Donald Trump in 2011, part of his long push to promote the false "birther" conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
At the time, Trump repeatedly claimed to have sent a team of private investigators to Hawaii to look into the matter and promised they were finding information that would be shocking, although he never provided any evidence of their alleged discoveries.
Key Facts About the Claim
No Evidence Provided: Trump never publicly released any "findings" from his supposed investigators. When pressed by journalists for details, he often deflected, saying it "wasn't appropriate" to reveal them at the time.
A Lie, According to Cohen: Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal lawyer and "fixer," later stated that Trump was lying and never actually sent anyone to Hawaii. Cohen claimed Trump pursued the conspiracy theory purely for the political attention and increased poll numbers it generated.
Obama Released the Long-Form Certificate: In response to the persistent claims fueled by Trump and the "birther" movement, the White House released President Obama's long-form birth certificate from the state of Hawaii in April 2011, which definitively proved he was born in the U.S..
Trump's Concession: After years of questioning the document's validity even after its release, Trump finally publicly acknowledged in September 2016 that "President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period".
The entire episode is widely characterized by media and political analysts as a baseless, racist conspiracy theory that helped fuel Trump's initial political rise.
