Trump Forecasts His Own Fraud
In the presidents world, he is never to blame for failure.This election is in danger of being stolen. By Donald Trump.
Trump is a win-at-all-costs kind of operator. For him, the rules are like rubber, not fixed but bendable. All structures laws, conventions, norms exist for others, those not slick and sly enough to evade them, those not craven enough to break them.
Trump is showing anyone who is willing to see it, in every way possible, that he is willing to do anything to win re-election, and will cry foul if he doesnt, a scenario that could cause an unprecedented national crisis.
Trump has been on a rampage over voting by mail. Last week he tweeted:
With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???
Setting aside the fact that Trump has no power to delay the election, he is clearly seeking to undermine the legitimacy of the outcome should he lose. If he wins, hell say he did so in spite of fraud, and if he loses, hell claim he did so because of it.

(27,820 posts)... what Trump thinks about anything - and I certainly don't now.
He can rant and rave all he wants to. He can accept or not accept the election results - who gives a shit?
The Dotard is still operating under the delusion that is all-powerful, and can control every situation. But he can't control losing the election any more than he can control Covid.
He is a weak, paranoid dumbass, a situation undoubtedly worsened by a slide into dementia and untold medical problems.
My prediction is that once he is declared the loser, he will slink off to Mara-Lago - where he will spend his last weeks in office tweeting about how the country was just too stupid to recognize his genius.

(2,040 posts)He is nothing but a pouty spoiled man-child who will stick out his lower lip and declare how stupid everyone else is and that the deep state turned on him.

(16,887 posts)But he attempted to put Clinton in the bind early by trying to getting her to agree that the elections were fair but cast just enough doubt and the Comey nightmare so that if she won he could question it and if she lost he could use it against her.
Biden isnt falling for that trap. But Traitor Trump is trying everything- and there surely will be an October Surprise about Biden and Hunter that Trump will try to throw out.
Expect it.
