Former President Donald Trump claimed "millions of people" would be alive if the 2020 election "wasn't rigged."
billions would be alive if 2016 wasn't rigged.
lock him up! lock him up! lock him up! lock him up! lock him up! lock him up!
Constitutionally rigged because we have an undemocratic Electoral College system which ignores the will of the people.
the 'wyoming rule', which would increase the size of house by decreasing the size of each house district in every state to the population of the smallest state's single district--and by doing so, increase the number of electoral college votes accordingly..... would not have affected any presidential election, except in some scenarios, 2000--which was ultimately decided by a republican-majority scotus. because when you add house seats to big 'blue' states, you also give them to big 'red' ones. you'd have to go straight popular vote instead....
Which is why Trump claims that Hillary managed to sneak 3 million illegal immigrants into polling places to vote.
His evidence? "I should have the most votes! If I didn't, she must have cheated!!!"
Quite frankly, if Hillary did this and had the 3 million illegal immigrants vote in safe blue California instead of in swing states, she deserved to lose. At the same time, if she was coordinated enough to get 3 million illegal immigrants to vote without leaving any evidence, perhaps she would have been an extremely efficient President. (Of course, the reality is that this is all just Donny's Narcissistic Fever Dream.)
It kind of sucks that 5 seconds of rational thinking is all it takes to completely unravel any of Trumps lies, he can be discredited in real-time his lies are so easy to debunk. It sucks because that is apparently still not a low enough barrier...
He's so bad at it that his accusations manage to both lack any evidence or make any sense. It boggles my mind that he's still popular enough to make his reelection plausible.
He speaks to a gutfeeling and emotion. Think of him more as a religious cult leader rather than a politician.
I hope that guy is going to jail soon, it's tiring hearing his insane ramblings every day.
2 false statements in 9 words. I bet it isn't even a record for him.
I don’t know if him suffering a stroke next October would be good or bad for the planet. He doesn’t deserve an exit without paying his debt to humanity but I’d take it if it means we can right this ship, not sure if that’s on the table though
People like him rarely face justice. I'd be content if he had a stroke. Although I admit I'd be more content if, "his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain" as Douglas Adams once said of one of the universe's worst poets.
"... And that, children, is why there's a statue dedicated to Donald Trump's major intestine!"
A stroke doesn't always kill you. Sometimes it locks you into a paralysis state. I'm pretty sure Trump doesn't have any kind of DNR order, so there's always hope for cosmic justice.
You unmitigated POS for insulting on all those that died on your watch, you cancerous dog anus of human being.
He just...keeps going. I don't fucking get it. He's about to go to jail for this shit, and he will not just STFU.
He can't. At this point he's either going to win it he's going down. There is no way out, so he just has to keep going. The depressing thing is that he still has a shot at winning despite everything.
“And yes, I am the only one that will prevent World War 3 — because we are very close to World War 3.”
Peddle that FEAR Donnie, lean into it.
I like how the guy who once suggested we nuke a hurricane is the one saying he'll prevent World War 3.
Literally all you have to do is draw on a map to change the course of wars like he did with a hurricane
I like how the guy who once threatened North Korea with a nuclear strike is the one saying he'll prevent World War 3.
Textbook being backed into a corner behavior. He lays it on thick because he knows his supporters are his only hope at avoiding jail, and worse. Either through a 2024 win or violent uprising.
He lays it on thick
This is way beyond just laying it on thick. Laying it on thick is exaggerating something, this is outright delusional lies.
NYT poll suggests he's likely to win most battleground states. It's actually us that appear backed into a corner if the poll holds water.
" Sleepy Joe and the crocked Liberal judges back by Hillary tried to stop me but I won. You know the Jews, they love me! Net and yahoo calls me and says thank you Mr. President. THEY LOVE ME! I would stop Hamas just like I did with China."
I want to believe 'net and Yahoo' is not part of an actual quote from anyone on this planet, but if there was one person I would say it would be him.
Feck off. Can’t wait to see this traitor cunt in bracelets and an orange jumpsuit. Bald and pallid.
350,831 Americans died from Covid in 2020 because of your neglect, you murderous fuck. And additionally, from the times you've told them to drink bleach. And from the times they believed from your psychotic influence, to take things that treats worms in horses.
You make it sound like 2020 was the 9/11 after 2019. The only problem with that, is that we didn't have a terrorist event, we had a pandemic. A pandemic you horribly mishandled even when given the instructions from Obama (which in no doubt you discarded because it was from someone better than you). And all you cared about the most, was for everyone to see your signature on all of those letters from all of those stimulus checks that took months of debates while thousands still died under your watch as you did so.
You're not a savior, asshole.
And remember Trump's "solution" to COVID (beyond "don't mask," "inject bleach," and "take horse dewormer") was "just don't test for it." He was adamant that the only reason COVID rates were high was because we were testing for it - completely ignoring that we could have theoretically tested everyone in America in 2018 and came up negative. It wasn't the fact that we were testing more, it was the fact that more people were infected.
Trump's advice was essentially "let's stick our heads in the ground, ignore COVID, and it'll all go away."
He has blood on his hands from anyone that listened to his advice, ignored COVID, got infected, and died as a result.
"I could solve the Ukraine-Russia war! All I need to do is force Ukraine to cede any territory that Russia claims, even if Russia doesn't occupy it. Putin surely will not come back for more after that!"
Did WW2 happen again and I missed it? Because last month he was talking about number 2 and now we're up to 3 again? Maybe they re-released WW2 but it went straight to DVD?
I think that President of the United States standing at the podium of the White House Briefing Room, suggesting that one could inject liquid bleach and use "internal" light therapy to kill COVID19, whilst hundreds of thousands of Americans were sick, dying, and petrified to leave their homes, due in majority to a purposefully mishandled Federal viral pandemic response, is going to be hard to beat for Republicans, until the end of time.
