President Donald Trump applauded himself on Thursday afternoon after his tweet about possibly delaying the election (which he has now pinned at the top of his Twitter profile) drew widespread concern earlier in the day.
“Glad I was able to get the very dishonest LameStream Media to finally start talking about the RISKS to our Democracy from dangerous Universal Mail-In-Voting (not Absentee Voting, which I totally support!),” he tweeted, once again peddling the false claim that voting by mail leads to election fraud.
Trump also declared that he “Must know Election results on the night of the Election, not days, months, or even years later!” a virtually impossible task given the prevalence of absentee and mail-in voting, and how long the process of vote tallying takes in large states, such as California.
The President’s tweets appear to be laying the groundwork for portraying the election as illegitimate if he were to lose to his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden.
Smells like flop sweat and despair.
`
`I wish a reporter would ask him what the difference is between Universal Mail-In-Voting and Absentee Voting.
He got spanked by the governors and Republican leadership of Congress and he thinks that’s a victory? He has such a strange idea of winning.
This man is beneath contempt, as are his supporters. He will blow up our system of government which has functioned well for over 200 years for his own pathetic needs, if not stopped by truly patriotic Americans.
