Donald Trump says he will put down 'INSURRECTION' if he is declared winner and there are riots on election night

President Donald Trump is vowing to crush any 'riots' that occur among opposition should he be declared the winner on Election night – saying he would 'put it down within minutes.'

Trump was asked about the hypothetical scenario by Fox News host Jeanine Pirro – who mentioned 'threats' of riots without providing specifics.

'Let's say there are threats. They say that they are going to threaten riots if they lose on election night, assuming we get a winner on election night. What are you going to do?' the host asked him.

'We'll put them down very quickly if they do that. We have the right to do that. We have the power to do that if we want,' said Trump, sitting for an interview at the White House during a week when his team was rocked by bombshell recordings by author and journalist Bob Woodward.

Rather than downplay the possibility, Trump took the hypothetical, continuing: 'Look, it's called insurrection. We just send in, and we do it very easy. I mean, it's very easy. I'd rather not do that because there's no reason for it, but if we had to, we'd do that and put it down within minutes. Within minutes,' Trump said, in a clip posted by Politico.

Trump has repeatedly gone after 'rioters' and 'looters' who he said are rival Joe Biden supporters.

1. And we know it is IMPOSSIBLE for the winner to be known on election day or near impossible

so this is confirmation the fix is in.

[tgenerico]

2. Yes I know, however there may be some demonstrations in DC that "need" to be crushed. n/t

[elleng]

4. Promoting crushing 'demonstrations' in DC, are you?

What are you doing here?

11. And the post stands

Wow

[tgenerico]

13. On the contrary.

Pointing out what Trump is up to in that line.

14. Good; try to be more clear, in the future.

6. He's not going to win. They will cheat, but it won't be close enough.

The nation knows now that he knew the virus was deadly and did nothing for weeks but lie to us.

He's a loser whose luck has run out.

[htuttle]

3. Yeah, this is what Putin is working toward

There won't be results on election night, so no reason to riot.

7. +1

5. He'll declare victory on Election night based on the Red Mirage and in-person tallies only.

Next, the right-wing goons organizing across the country will storm the Democratic secretaries of state demanding mail-in ballots be disqualified. And when we counter protest, well, shit, that's an insurrection per the Tangerine Klansman.

8. If he loses what will he do about his protesters? nt

[WA-03 Democrat]

9. He'll flip it tomorrow

Just to create more chaos and drama. He never follows through because he cannot (yet). Biden-Harris will win. He’ll call it rigged. He is just a money laundering Russian lackey and criminal informant.

He lies, watches TV, tweets and golfs. That’s about it. He is lazy like all mobsters. Work is for suckers and losers.

GOTV

10. I'm becoming more and more tempted to buy a gun while I can.

I'm a pacifist at heart, and I loathe guns. But I'm DAMNED if I will let the Gestapo beer-belly brownshirts take over and intimidate our citizens and interfere with democratic processes.

12. I am shocked more patriots aren't coming to the same conclusion
