Donald Doubles Down on Election Lies

One day after new election interference allegations were levied against Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee used a Michigan speech to repeat false claims he "won" the state in 2020.

More

"We did win " it was a rigged election," the former president said Thursday during a rally at Saginaw Valley State University, where he predicted he will beat Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in Michigan on Nov. 5."

Comments

"Harris' campaign countered in a statement:

"Donald Trump can't lead our country forward because he refuses to let go of the past. ... Instead of offering any real solutions, the closing message from Trump and his running mate to battleground voters is a lie to undermine our democracy."

At a rally in Michigan today, Trump promised the crowd that he would win the state, just like he did in 2020.

Trump lost Michigan by over 150,000 votes in 2020.

Trump also said that while mail-in ballots contributed to the election being stolen from him in 2020, for 2024, since Michigan has already started to send out mail-in ballots, that perhaps this year, the state's voters should consider using them. Well, which is it, are mail-in ballots susceptible to fraud or not? You can't have it both ways.

Note that Michigan is a 'no excuse' state. That is, any registered voter can request a mail-in ballot and they are NOT required to provide a reason for doing so.

@#2 ... Trump also said that while mail-in ballots contributed to the election being stolen from him in 2020, ...

Did he proffer any evidence of that assertion?

Or was it just his usual addled babbling?


And, if the latter, why is anyone taking him seriously?

Which is exactly how that should work.

I was hoping the people of the States of Michigan and Wisconsin would get a full media blast of Jack Smith's filings in the J-6 election interference case.

If so, they'll soon learn that Trump is not morally capable of upholding the high standards we expect of a president. He's just a scamming, self-serving conman who would rather lie when it's easier to tell the truth.

The man doesn't have a benevolent bone in his body and would like very much to become a member of the "World's Most Despicable Dictators Club."

@#6 ... If so, they'll soon learn that Trump is not morally capable of upholding the high standards we expect of a president. ...

As a person exposed to the NYC news media for decades, I knew that back in 2016.

And I gave a warning back then on this most august site.

What else can I say?

You get what you ask for.

"And I gave a warning back then on this most august site."

It's not your fault. It's just unfortunate that this site isn't the MSM.

An election official got 9 nine years in jail for trying to rig one election, one wonders what Trump is facing if his own machinations ever get to trial.

He will stroke out during endless appeals long before they wedge him into a cell.

Trump is a charlatan who has nothing but contempt for America.

Democracy is so passe.

How are you going to have a corporate controlled authoritarian government, as the one they have in in Singapore that Peter Thiel wants in America, unless you have a violent contempt for democracy and for America?

Y'all still act like he's mistaken and isn't doing this purposefully.

Hope you've got some solid door locks and home security plans come late this year.

The chaos is the point and the violence is the goal.

I'm not sure how you run an election campaign against an opponent who lies so flagrantly and with impunity about absolutely EVERYTHING, whose running mate lies flagrantly and with impunity, and whose party lies flagrantly with impunity supported by a Reichwing media echo chamber that parrots and supports every freaking lie! There is not time enough in the day and bandwidth on the internet for the Harris/Walz campaign to rebut even the most obvious lies, and the MSM seems to think that fact checking is mostly not their busienss. It is infuriating. Dotard has made a complete break from reality, every word out of his Putin hole is a lie, even the easily checked ones like claiming Jamie Diamond endorsed him, but the bredth and depth of the lies are so great that I'm afraid the fact checkers have just thrown up their hands at this point.
