I've encountered several people in recent days and weeks who no longer quite remember how blatant Trump's efforts to falsify the election results actually were.
I was born in 1974 - no US president (or plausible candidate for president) has ever before done something so manifestly disqualifying. I've never made a comment like the above about any of them.
It's not like he was "demanding signature matching for votes to see if there was in fact any fraud". He threatened the Georgia state attorney general, and demanded he and his colleagues there find a way to falsify the election results.
It's thankfully a simple matter of public record, so if you don't remember the details, you can go and listen to the recordings again[1].
