Speaking to a packed, largely mask-less crowd in Nevada on Saturday night, President Donald Trump once again said he wanted to serve three terms in office. Trump said he is probably entitled to an additional four years in the White House. Fifty-two days from now were going to win Nevada, and were going to win four more years in the White House, Trump told a crowd of at least 5,000 people in Minden, Nevada that was standing shoulder-to-shoulder. And then after that, well negotiate, right? Because were probablybased on the way we were treatedwe are probably entitled to another four after that.
Even though he is behind Joe Biden in all the major polls, by Trumps telling the only way he can lose in November is if Democrats rig the election. During the rally, Trump once again raised doubts about the reliability of mail-in voting, and without citing any evidence said that Democrats will use it to cheat. The Democrats are trying to rig this election because thats the only way theyre going to win, he said. Trump characterized mail-in voting as the greatest scam in the history of presidential politics and said Democrats are sending ballots to dogs as part of his effort to raise questions about the integrity of the vote. Everybody is getting ballots, he said. Probably everybody but Republicans.
Trump spoke on the tarmac of Nevadas Minden-Tahoe Airport after his campaign was forced to make last-minute changes due to restrictions on large gatherings to stem the spread of the coronavirus. The president blamed Nevadas Democratic governor, Steve Sisolak, for the change. He tried to stop us. He couldnt, and now hes in charge of the election, he said. He can rig the election.
Democrats harshly criticized Trump and his campaign for putting people at risk of contracting the coronavirus. After intentionally misleading the American people for months on end about the threat of the coronavirus, Trump continued to endanger Americans health by holding multiple in-person campaign rallies across the country, ignoring the White Houses own public health recommendations, said state Democratic Party Chair William McCurdy II.

(101,295 posts)Quite apart from whatever he'll do to try and stop a result for the election (lawsuits, shutting down the USPS, using DHS goons to disrupt things ... stop electoral college meetings?), when there's nothing more he can do on that front, he'll pardon all kinds of criminals if he sees an advantage to him. He'll unleash the worst ICE thugs to hurt people at the borders, because he really is racist, and he really does enjoy the suffering of others. And then pardon them. He'll pardon any far right people convicted of a federal crime. He'll refuse to sign any law unless there's money or other advantage in it for him personally. Because he's "entitled". He'll do something unhinged on the international front. Because he hates so many American allies, and knows they have never trusted him, so he wants revenge.
