....when he says crap like he won't the leave the White House if he loses, and votes won't be counted?
C'mon people-most of us are older, have medical conditions where we don't need to be worried 24-7...
Don't be manipulated by certain media and certain players who are trying to worry you and depress the vote...
I wouldn't believe the Orange Asshole if he said the sun was coming up tomorrow...
GOTV AND SAY HELLO TO PRESIDENT BIDEN IN JANUARY!!!!!!!

(2,535 posts)Been counseling the wife and her paranoia for weeks now that all his proclamations are just more lies and diversions. Eyes on the prize.
Ignore the blithering idiot and his blather. At least that is my polite advice. And then usually a fuck that guy or two.

(2,804 posts)The position he is in now, if he loses the election, is quite different from when he was in business. If anybody thinks that he's going to stay in the White House if he's beaten decisively in the EC...well, I got a bridge I want to sell you

You'll believe in complete bullshit.

(18,628 posts)Given the word, they can easily be primed to take up arms to keep him in office. Worse, they will sincerely believe the election was stolen by democrats if he says so. Trump knows this.
The credibility problem isn't with me, it's his cult following that will create a crisis when the time comes for him to leave.

(1,668 posts)Do I believe the GOP plan to steal the election? Yes, frankly I do.
Do I believe trump will refuse to accept the results? Yes.
Do I believe he will try to remain in power after losing? Yes.
Do I believe the GOP will steal the election. They are doing their best, so preventing that from happening is up to us. Do everything in you power to make sure your vote is counted.
Do I believe the rest of the Government will accept the results? Not entirely, some elements wont, but I think the majority will welcome a return of decency.
This is about radicalizing his base inside and outside the government, authoritarian regimes rarely come to power with majority support. They come to power by radicalizing their supporters and intimidating their opposition. We know hes quoting QAnnon, I think they trying to insure that there is insurrection if they dont get the results they want.

(21,742 posts)After putting up with this madman's chose for 4 years and finally kicking his ass in the election, then we have to go through 2 more months of utter chaos, lies, and bullshit lawsuits. ( Drama. Drama. Drama.) before we put our country back in sane hands.
I just wish we could be done with him once and for all Nov.3

(2,804 posts)There won't be much in the way of chaos from Trump-Just my opinion. Oh, he'll yell and scream and threaten, but he won't be able to back it up

(1,977 posts)It is no longer that we need to win. We have to win convincingly, or in an unquestionable fashion, or to a degree it cannot be tested. All this does is normalize the cheating. All that really needs to happen is win by one more vote to gather the needed electoral votes. We dont need to set the bar higher than it has to be. We do theor work for them when we allow this to happen.

(6,856 posts)pathological and dysfunctional of liars.
No one here believes him on his promise of a CoviD-19 vaccine. Promises of benefits to the people he finds disgusting will never be kept.
But his remarks about his election intentions fall under the category of "Believe the autocrat when he tells you who he is." (Masha Gessen - and she has reason to know.)
He may not actually follow through, no. But if not, it won't be because he is lying about who he is. It will be because he will have been prevented.
And I find that a HUGE motivator to GOTV.
