Angry Trump promises rally in battleground state of Georgia

Source: AP

By JILL COLVIN

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday renewed baseless claims that “massive fraud” and crooked officials in battleground states led to his election defeat, and said he’ll go to Georgia to rally supporters ahead of two Senate runoff elections.

“This has a long way to go,” Trump said on Thanksgiving evening, despite the fact that President-elect Joe Biden won the election. “This election was a fraud. It was a rigged election.”

Trump spoke to reporters at the White House after speaking with U.S. military leaders overseas.

After his conversation, Trump took questions for the first time since Election Day and angrily denounced officials in Georgia and Pennsylvania, two key swing states that helped give Biden the win, as “enemies of the state” and claimed they were culprits in vote fraud.

I agree he could not care less about GA unless there is an ego-stroking or revenge motive for him. And his revenge could be aimed anydammedwhere.

I bet the entire world grows more tired of this piece of shit by the day. Like I said before, everything Trump must be brought down. Him, his businesses, his kids, the entire Trump name. Once his powers expire the entire world, financial, governments behind the scenes, everyone he has every pricked, and all the citizens of the free world.....destroy everything Trump financially and criminally.

He and his family are the biggest threat tho the world since Hitler. Act accordingly world.

....Trump lost, this is clear to everyone....Yes, "Everyone With A Brain" ...by 6,000,000 votes...

But Trump is fighting a ..."stupid fight"...and some of his supporters will not follow him anymore....

Who? Where? When?....I don't know, but some will see this as being ..."NUTS"..

... TRUMP LOST...IS THAT CORRECT?....by 6,000,000 votes? is that correct?..........
... This kind of tantrum is infantile and quite stupid... Refusal to accept an obvious outcome, is...
......proof Donald Trump is very NUTS!!!!.......

some of his followers, who saw him as ...sane...will now see him as totally .."..NUTS..".......
....soon...Republican leaders will denounce this behavior...When?.....Soon......

Yes, some will no longer follow this idiot, and will see him for the first time for who he is..You decide
that one, I am just glad he is proving to most of the U.S.A. that............................................

Trumpy-Boy is paving the way for a nice cash flow after he leaves office. He's setting his fanbase up for steady donations to Trumpism-- and that means money going to Trump's pocket. Trumpy-Boy is very much aware of his next meal: his loyal fanbase. No, he doesn't care a whit about them except for the money he can milk from them.

I don't think that Trump is off-the-charts psychotic or divorced from reality. He's sociopathic and he's got a personality disorder or two. Those disorders produce catastrophic cruelty and suffering, and he doesn't care- which is also part of his pathology. He's delusional and immersed in magical thinking, but we should all take heart in the fact that he's acknowledging his defeat and will, of course, leave the WH under his own power. That admission is both profound and commonplace.

Thank GOD this man is so small. So dull-witted.

I watched the chilling 'hearing' with the Trump-spewing iPhone held up to the microphone. The applause after he declared there was no reason the election should not be overturned was the most amazing pure moment of American Nazism I've ever witnessed.

I know it's got him this far. But it will go no farther. This doesn't work anymore. The panic is revealed in the repetition.

before he has to pack it in.

Now, going forward the RW candidates will not be so dull-witted and lame. The tinpot dictator-wanabes will be the likes of Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Devin Nunes, etc. who are well-educated, smart and more extreme. We survive now to fight another election.

It would be appropriate and downright theodical if he held a massive rally and all the people there got sick. Like God just out and out taking a stand against him.

Also, by holding a massive spreader rally, maybe Perdue and Loeffler, as invited guests who dare not refuse the invitation, could catch the damned thing and be confined to the same hospital while they slowly, oh so slowly, recovered.
