Funny how he used to say that he decided to run again and then insist on not stepping aside for the exact reason he's now giving for making the (correct and beneficial to the world) decision to bow to pressure from the rich donors and thus Nancy Pelosi to stand down.
It's almost like he's a notoriously dishonest and very vain old man trying to save face after having lost a power struggle..
Or a human being and a leader that is capable of change and sacrifice in the name of something bigger.
Whichever.
Nah, he was pushed out.
For the month that he stubbornly refused to withdraw, you guys told us that he was doing the right thing and anyone who said otherwise wanted Trump to win.
Then when he was forced to by major donors and their chief enforcer Pelosi, THAT was the best course of action to avoid another Trump presidency (true) that he decided on all of his own (extremely obviously false) because he's a heroically self-sacrifying hero (gimme a break).
No matter what he does, you fanboys and fangirls say it's the only right thing to do and that it was all his idea. It's eerily reminiscent of the MAGA cult in its obsequiousness.
