Assuming he isn’t impeached and removed from office in the next few hours or days, Donald Trump only has a week left in office, but on Monday, the State Department’s website announced his term had already ended.
Someone went in and changed the outgoing one-term president’s official bio to say that his “term ended” on January 11, prompting Twitter to go absolutely nuts.
lol what?
The U.S. Department of State: "Donald J. Trump's term ended on 2021-01-11 19:39:54"

Spoiler alert: Trump’s term didn’t end on January 11.
Buzzfeed reports that a “disgruntled staffer” likely went in and made the change to the website’s content management system.
How about we take this to the next level?

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has launched an investigation into the matter, which officials say was almost certainly an inside job since the site is on a “closed system” and “nearly impossible to hack.”
“It’s 100% not a hack,” a source tells Buzzfeed.
After last week’s deadly insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, over 100 career US diplomats signed two unprecedented dissent cables rebuking Trump for his role in the violence.
They also condemned Pompeo for his “failure to issue a statement unequivocally acknowledging that President-Elect Biden won the 2020 election” as well as his weak statement on the civilian uprising.

I don’t think Pompeo realizes that after 1/6 his past statement about “transitioning to a second Trump term,” was re-contextualized into something truly sinister. I applaud anyone in the State dept who is chooses to openly undermine Pompeo for the duration of his tenure.
This is especially clever, because it does force Pompeo to make a statement on Trump after his attempt at weaponizing an angry mob of his own supporters using baseless slander about state and local election officers.
Actually, are there any State Secretaries of State, or election workers, suing the Trump admin and conservative media for slander? We can demonstrably prove that there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud, and the lie is very clearly maliciously motivated with the intention of profiting off of a lie. The intentional lying is usually the hardest part to prove in court.
