There are currently 212 members of the House Republican conference, and this week, each received a gift from Donald Trump's Save America operation. It was not, however, a gesture of generosity from the former president.
As Politico reported, the gift was a copy of Mollie Hemingway's conspiratorial book "RIGGED: How the Media, Big Tech and the Democrats Seized Our Election," which was accompanied by a signed note from the former president. It read in part:
"There is no question, American Democracy was under siege during the 2020 Presidential election. Facts are coming out weekly and election fraud, media bias, and voting irregularities continue to be unearthed. Republican leadership should never have certified the election on January 6th, and now Democrats will never stop their assault on America our freedom, faith, family, and values."
Trump concluded, "I hope you find this book informative and encouraging in your battle for the heart of our Nation."
Let's briefly take stock of what makes this notable.
First, Mollie Hemingway's book is apparently 448 pages long. If you believe the former president actually read this tome, I have stock in a dubious media company I'd love to sell you.

Because you know he will.
Oh, maybe it's not a tax write-off, but this is how he pays back the RNC for paying his entire families legal bills.
