Trump To Hold Campaign-Style Rallies To Keep Sowing Doubt On Election Defeat With Bogus Fraud Claims

President Donald Trump is reportedly has another gambit in the works to magnify his unfounded accusations that the election, which he lost to Democratic challenger Joe Biden last week, was “stolen” from him via election fraud: Going back to holding his beloved rallies.


CNN, Axios, and NBC News report that Trump will be holding campaign-style rallies throughout the country in a few weeks as his legal team continues to fight the election results in court with unproven claims that the election had been plagued with voter fraud.

White House senior adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller, and lawyer Rudy Giuliani made the push on the rallies, according to CNN.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to TPM’s request for comment.

CNN Jake Tapper reported via Twitter on both the rallies and Chief of Staff Mark Meadows reportedly urging Trump to consider conceding the race.

Miller retweeted Tapper’s post and called it “100% false,” though it appeared his denial was directed at the Meadows aspect of the report, not necessarily the rallies.

“There is no truth to this report whatsoever,” the campaign adviser wrote. “CoS Meadows, Dave Bossie, Jared Kushner, Rudy, myself and everybody else are on the same page – we all work for @realDonaldTrump and follow his lead, and there is no daylight between us.”

Later Miller retweeted conservative commentator Dan Bongino’s post declaring “I’m down for a Trump RALLY.”

“Who’s with me?” Bongino asked.

This is the Trump I expected.

He will go down, but not without making messes first.

We'll see who turns out for these rallies. I have doubts that he's going to draw large crowds.

Censure? Ground Air Force One unless it is used for national emergency? De-fund the executive branch until January? I'm flailing here, but how can this be allowed to happen?

I just emailed my congressman to ask the same questions. I hope you will take a minute to do the same.

Steve Schmitt had it right this morning in his column. He called it sedition.

And with the Covid numbers going where they are and none of them wearing masks ?

Hopefully the Governors put a ban to it .

To use his extremists group supporters to incite violence and threaten people, judges, justices, electors and election officials while claiming others are corrupt. He also is doing this to run another money funding scam for his debts, and for after he's out of office.
Trump also always accuses others of his crimes . He also is doing this causing chaos to try to get a deal from Biden to leave with, which he won't keep that deal then will want more.
Trump also is using this to control the news cycle with, which the media shouldn't help him doing. His intent is again without evidence to mislead his followers he and they are the victims.

They are campaign rallies just like they were two weeks after his inauguration. Feel free to use the term "Ego Rallies".
