00:00 startling revelations from Jonathan Karl's new book,
00:03 "Tired of Winning, Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party."
00:07 The book exposes former President Trump's belief in a conspiracy theory
00:12 suggesting he could be reinstated long after leaving office.
00:16 Fueled by allies like MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell,
00:20 the theory claimed Trump could return to the White House on August 13, 2021,
00:26 nearly seven months after the former president ended his first term on Inauguration Day.
00:32 This baseless idea, associated with QAnon, falsely questioned President Biden's legitimacy.
00:38 In a 2021 interview with Karl, Trump avoided questions about reinstatement,
00:44 saying, "I am not going to explain it to you, Jonathan, because you wouldn't understand it or
00:50 write it." The book reveals that Trump's repeated mentions of reinstatement raised concerns among
00:55 his inner circle, with some fearing he genuinely believed he could force Biden out before the next
01:02 election.
