The presidents increasingly amped-up rhetoric surrounding the integrity of the November elections has many wondering how he might respond to a defeat.

First he lit into Michigan and Nevada, threatening to withhold federal funding because of his assertion that both states were preparing to commit voter fraud through mail-in ballot applications. Then President Donald Trump followed up Sunday with two more broadly-worded warnings that November would be the greatest Rigged Election in history.
The Democrats are trying to Rig the 2020 Election, plain and simple! the president claimed.
Trumps increasingly amped-up rhetoric surrounding the integrity of the November election is beginning to bring to center stage a previously muted conversation. With the president lagging behind Joe Biden in public opinion polls six months before the general election, his opponents are becoming increasingly anxious that Trump may attempt to undermine the results of the election if he loses or worse, might attempt to cling to power regardless of the outcome.

Not so far fetched now, is it...
I grew up in NYC and I have long known, as any New Yorker do, just how fucking crazy he is to stay in office. He took his grift operation nationally and put it under a big spot light for all to see. He knows hes completely fucked if hes voted out. Him and his crooked ass family will go to prison, not might, they will all do time.
And the coward in cheif is scared shitless of being completely exposed for the fraud the he and his spawn really are.

(1,979 posts)We can bet on it. However, the vote will be the vote and God and the Angels willing, he will be gone and out of our lives, along with most of the corrupt GOP party.
He can rant all he wants - just like his daily lies, some will believe and most will know that is just another one of his little twitter-tantrums. I think when he loses by the landslide he will lose by - he is just going to exit. I'll be very surprised if he even sticks around until January.
He has some serious legal matters that are sitting on the other side of him losing this election. If he is panicked about anything, it is that.
I think we may see something medical released that will give him the "out" he will be looking for. Time will tell.
