So what governs Trump denial of accountability in politics
The piece argues that Donald Trump’s constant “so what” mindset explains his refusal to accept election results or moral accountability. It cites the Jan 6 Capitol riot and his alleged incitement, his dismissive stance toward Pence, and ongoing lies about abortion, crime, and immigration. It also contrasts his behavior with Joe Biden’s peaceful transfer of power and notes continued influence on GOP figures like JD Vance.
