<p>The last two years and 10 months have occasioned a series of unfortunate events for <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-flabbergasted-as-rally-audience-boos-local-republican-congressman?ref=topic">Donald Trump</a>–notably the four criminal <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-2024-branding-is-all-about-his-criminal-indictments">indictments</a>, the <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/jury-says-donald-trump-didnt-rape-e-jean-carroll-but-liable-for-battery">$5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict</a>, <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-takes-the-stand-in-his-new-york-fraud-trial">the ongoing fraud trial</a> that could trigger a death sentence for his family-run Trump Organization, and last week’s <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-boastful-post-about-daniel-cameron-in-kentucky-race-ages-like-milk?ref=wrap">political catastrophe</a>, in which voters in three different Republican-leaning states rejected Trumpy candidates and policies in off-year elections.</p>

<p>In his mania for personal publicity and self-celebration, along with an insouciant contempt for simple facts, <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/pro-trump-pundit-nick-adams-flees-maga-confab-ahead-of-donald-trump-speech">Adams</a> might be better described as Donald Trump’s mini-me.</p>
