If TFG had proof the election was really stolen, he'd already would've taken it to court,

But he can't take it to court, or testify under oath about it knowing he'd have to either lie and commit perjury, or admit he knows its a big lie. Until he's forced under oath to testify, he'll keep repeating his lies about it,, especially to take advantage of, and grift from his followers. Media should be calling him out daily for his proof.

He's too much of a narcissist to just paint like Bush or help build housing like Jimmy. He is a very sick and dangerous human, and needs to be locked away. Whether that's a secure hospital or a prison. In the mean time it would be nice if the press would stop feeding his narcissism.

The time for debate on this subject has long passed.

Why keep debating nonsense, it keeps the narrative going. Scoff at it, ridicule it.

I have a different question; why didn't DOJ stop the bogus, pro-Trump Cyber Ninjas from spreading the Big Lie? Why did DOJ allow them to violate federal law by having access to ballots, voter information, election equipment and materials which were supposed to remain in the possession of election officials for 22 months? All in violation of Title 52.

closer in some state doing a recount, and all the attorneys from Porter Wright he had hired to
contest the election quit because TFG wanted the lawyers to either perjure themselves or suborn
perjury which would have cost them their law licenses.

He lost in courts with judges appointed by republicans and democrats and he told his own people
he had lost.

Cassidy Hutchinson: Trump told Meadows ‘this is embarrassing,’ ‘I don’t want people to know that we lost’

Former President Trump told his then-chief of staff “this is embarrassing,” and “I don’t want people to know that we lost,” after the Supreme Court ruled against him on a key case about the 2020 election, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson told the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

The Hutchinson’s testimony was revealed Thursday in what might be the Jan. 6 committee’s final public hearing.

snip

Hutchinson was present for a conversation between Trump and then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows the day the Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit, she told the panel in testimony presented Thursday.

“The president, just raging about the decision and how it’s wrong, and why didn’t we make more calls, and just, his typical anger outburst at this decision,” she added.

...was only a half win.
They wanted the judge to allow Republican observers to sit closer.
The judges allowed the distance change but made it apply to ALL observers.
So, it was only a half win. He's 0.5-61.5.

One would think that losing over 60 court cases because he could not provide any proof of election fraud would convince his cult that he is lying. But, no, they need to keep believing it so they won’t look like they total fools they are for ever believing anything about him in the first place. Charlatans are successful because they tell their victims what they want to hear.

Can't reveal his taxes because he's being audited.

Will produce a health plan, at some point in the future.

And claims an immense amount of election fraud, without providing credible evidence.

He makes outrageous claims and promises, but never delivers.

How many times has he said I can't wait to testify and then never show up? No way he testifies under oath, that debate is over also, IMO.

And it's not just his ego that's making him lie to say the election was stolen from him. He needed to continue being President to evade all these indictments that will hopefully start raining down on him! If he were still Prez or could "rightfully" be given back the Presidency that was stolen from him, then they couldn't touch him!

Trump knows that he is guilty of numerous crimes. His strategy is to delay everything until the Magats get back in power, and that strategy, so far, is working. When would a Trump trial happen? 2024? 2025?
