Sure would be nice if every network was prepared to call this out as a pathetic bluff, given the mirage factors of this pandemic election, but hell no doubt get the dopamine high hes looking for.

New: The president has told confidants he'll declare victory on Tuesday night if it looks like he's "ahead."
That's even if the Electoral College outcome still hinges on large numbers of uncounted votes in key states like PA.

Cable news, for maybe the first time, has to consider that the President of the United States may go on TV and knowingly trigger terrorist acts if he thinks it will help him. Put him on a delay.

He could very well be even more dangerous at this point and incite terrorism since he has it all worked up to a fevered pitch and has poured gasoline on everything.
All it could take is a lighting a match and his desperation is all that motivates him now. We may see him pull out all stops and do something incredibly inflammatory next.

(16,616 posts)4. Thinking the same thing.
Twitter needs to station at least one person whose job it is to do nothing but watch his account. This person should have the ability to evaluate each tweet before it goes live, and to take action as necessary, including outright suspension of the account.

(21,995 posts)5. Yeah, I wouldn't count on Twitter
Or Facebook or any other social media. They aren't really interested in controlling their platforms.

(17,420 posts)6. A significant delay on his TV airing and social media accounts seems proper
90 days should be sufficient.
