Trump Suggests He Won’t Accept Potential Biden Victory: ‘You Have To See What’s Happening’

President Donald Trump indicated on Monday morning that he may not accept the results of the November elections if he loses to his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, on the basis of his bogus conspiracy theory that mail-in voting leads to election fraud.

Trump is a rabble rouser, a pot stirer, it’s all a form of entertainment for him. I would be more interested in Barr’s answer to this question? Is he going to accept the results of the election?

Has Trump considered that just as many Republican dogs will get ballots as Democratic dogs? And that that may favor him, since most Republicans are pretty dog-like?

So, once again, he says the quiet part out loud.

Not, of course, that it’s in any way a surprise, but it is still somehow shocking to hear him actually come out and say it.

I am terrified of two things now.

  1. Everything Trump says and does
  2. That I yawn numbly every time Trump says something terrifying. I have grown accustomed to it.

The burden of proof of fraud is on the asshole. The minions at Fox and Friends are not judges –even less-so the court of public opinion.

He is setting the stage to whine no matter the outcome of the election. If he loses by a large margin, he will claim it was much closer and that he would have won if… Should it be quite close, then it will be left up to Congress and the Courts and his lawyers will pull reasons out of their a$$ on why the election was fraudulent. It is the way he rolls - always an excuse and using the legal system to subvert.

Trump will contest his loss. The more he loses by, the larger the fraud he will proclaim, all without any evidence (because there is none). He would destroy the entire country rather than admit defeatand he will use that uncertainty as an excuse for all manner of illegal behavior. The Constitution means nothing to him, much less the notion of public service. We are all his slaves meant to serve him and his ego, and anyone who doesn’t is his enemy and, in his mind, an enemy of the state.

Only his vote counts in his own mind. He’ll accept the agreement of others as long as they don’t oppose his view of the moment at all. As a result, once Biden wins Trump and all of his enablers must be prosecuted to the hilt for their wrongdoing, but more importantly they must be publicly shamed.

“You have to see what’s happening, then you’re never going to have a fair election.”

Trump is not just signaling now…he is blatantly telling us that he will not go quietly!

Trump was a SOUR winner in 2016…how much worse can he be as a SOUR LOSER in 2020?

This prompted a memory…
Back in the 19th century a crabby old Indian chief was bothered by his new born son’s crying. He named the boy “Crybaby”. Later, when he became a man, he took his own name. BUT… the USA in its wisdom had him registered as “Crybaby” and always referred to him as such. When he became chief, and they continued this, a war did result.

Whining has long been a Republican/Conservative tactic. They used is successfully for years to enshrine the myth of the ‘liberal media’. Trump has perfected like no other in the GOP.
