Trump, without evidence, accuses Democrats of fabricating Ginsburg's dying wish

Source: Politico

President Donald Trump on Monday cast doubt on the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish that her vacancy on the court be filled by the winner of November's presidential election, accusing Democratic leaders without evidence of fabricating the statement Ginsburg’s granddaughter provided to POLITICO.

Clara Spera, Ginsburg's granddaughter and a fellow at the American Civil Liberties Union, told POLITICO that shortly before her death Friday evening, the justice declared that “my most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.” But Trump suggested on Monday that the former associate justice's wish may have been the creation of Congressional Democrats, an allegation for which he offered no justification or proof.

“I don't know that she said that, or was that written out by Adam Schiff, and Schumer and Pelosi,” Trump said in an interview on “Fox & Friends,” referring to the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, the Senate minority leader and the House speaker.

“I would be more inclined to the second, ok you know that came out of the wind, it sounds so beautiful. But that sounds like a Schumer deal or maybe a Pelosi or shifty Schiff,” he said, adding later: “I mean, maybe she did and maybe she didn't.”

DIE clutching your chest, you worthless lump of chemically damaged fatty-meat.

I want that motherfucker to die of a massive heart attack ON CAMERA, used to want it to happen on the toilet in the residence but I have changed my mind - I want to watch him die and have it on tape for future reference when I might be feeling down.

And cheer louder than I did for the Dallas Out the ass win yesterday. Would want to DVR it for non stop loop. One of those deaths that drool and foam come out his facial anus and he shits everywhere. Then laugh like hell at Ivanka when she loses her shit, but her plastic face can’t move to show remorse. And same with Melonoma, she would be so ecstatic you may even see a tiny bit of smile from her plastic face. Fuck all trumps. Except Mary.

Anyone with a brain in their head knows that statement from RBG sounds just like something she would do. She fought for us right to the end and wanted to keep on fighting for us. Of course, DJT wouldn't know anything about honor and fighting to make someone else's life better.

It's more projection. In his own mind* he would absolutely make stuff up because the only person who could directly contradict the assertion is deceased

*loosely interpreted

Trump is 74, obese, never exercises, and eats shit daily.

When it's his time, I can only hope that they don't find a way to keep his bloated, animated corpse alive like they did with Cheney.
