He opened up his press conference with "if you count the legal votes I easily win. If you count the illegal votes they can try to steal this election from us." This is beyond a joke now, he's declaring war on democracy. I can't wait to see how Loko etc. defend him on this, or more likely just ignore the issue like whether he is racist or not.
Why do you have to call me out on this when I haven't defended him once? Why do you take a tone that's like picking a fight? This is one of the biggest issues in the world today. Speak up in any form against the 'popular' opinion and you're labelled. It's why so many remain silent and then we're shocked by the results in elections.
Well that escalated quickly! That was SOME Conference. I can see Trump torching the White House in a suicide pact, with everyone in it. Waco style. What an absolute f.cuking maniac.
That was the most insane press conference I’ve ever seen. From the White House press room. This is what happens when you elect a celebrity television star with no morals, no honour and no class.
Joking apart, I'm now genuinely worried about what's coming next. There are lots of very angry, armed Republicans on the streets who have just listened to every word of that.
Pretty sure he used the word 'violence' at one point. Clear dog whistling. Dark time we're living in.
It’s absolute insanity. He’s going to burn the country to the ground for his ego. It’s the most irresponsible comment I’ve ever seen from a leader of a democratic nation. Then you’ve got Steve Bannon calling for Fauchi and the head of the FBI to be “beheaded as a warning to bureaucrats” and Trump Jr calling for “total war” against the election result. It’s going to get ugly. Thankfully it seems most Republicans have accepted defeat and are not agreeing with Trump, it’s just the hardcore ones that are out on the street. But that’s enough.
You've got to assume only his family and very closest allies, Hitler style, will stick with him from here. The only thing that could possibly make his conference any madder, was if his claims were actually proved.
I've seen several interviews today with people talking about militias, taking up arms and civil war. Very very worrying.
Trump has announced that if he loses, he will mount a challenge for the Presidency in 2022. Not going to simply disappear into the political wilderness by the sounds of things.
Text message received by Trump supporters in the last few hours: "I need you. The Left will try to STEAL this Election!!! I'm calling on YOU to step up & FIGHT BACK." It's just asking for an armed confrontation. I fear for the citizens of the big cities.
