William Barr: Trump "Detached from Reality"

Former US Attorney General William Barr has a new book out called One Damn Thing After Another, and he’s been doing a number of interviews promoting it. Previously, Barr revealed that Trump fired him after he shot down the then-president’s claims of voter fraud and called his team of lawyers a “clown show.” He said in another interview that despite Trump trying to end democracy in America, he’d still vote for him over a Democrat in 2024.

This week, Barr did an interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier where he revealed that Trump was convinced he’d be able to take the White House in 2020 even after the results had shown he lost to Joe Biden. Barr said it was “unsettling” when Trump told him “he had actually won the election and how the machines were rigged and that he was actually going to be there for another term.” The former Attorney General said, “this showed a detachment from reality that was stunning.” Even if Trump started the “big lie” to deceive people, it’s possible that as the weeks and months went on, he genuinely started to believe it himself.
