    “ I don’t get it. They say I lost but I won the most states. All the states, 53 in all. The greatest victory ever and they stole it from me, from you. The greatest victory by the greatest president!”

      Like…it’s been fuckin YEARS you pathetic sad sack. No one gives a fuck anymore. Even his own supporters aren’t as gung ho because…it’s been fuckin years. It’s hard to get people excited to vote for you when you won’t shut the fuck up about the election four goddamn years ago.

    I wonder at which point of his ridiculous lies Republican voters will (secretly?) clue in.

    I’d like to point out that even Ronald Fucking Reagan didn’t win all 50 against Mondale. He lost Minnesota.

    “Reagan won a landslide re-election victory, carrying 525 electoral votes, 49 states, and 58.8 percent of the popular vote. Mondale won 13 electoral votes from the District of Columbia, which has always voted overwhelming for the Democratic candidate, and his home state of Minnesota by a 0.18% margin.”

    could someone [in the court process] request a mental evaluation to determine if he is even competent to be found guilty? hes clearly off his rocker, and a potential danger to himself and others!

        i was really just thinking it would be funny if the prosecutors called for this at every one of his trials, just to make him lose his mind.

              We can apply the “but who makes the rules” fear to everything. But inaction is just as bad. I think we need to understand that nothing has changed in politics, we just have more awareness of it because of the internet. The supreme court has always been corrupt. The idea of impartiality was drilled into us like the pledge of allegiance. We’ve all been brainwashed, but a lot more of us are waking up.

        I’m pretty sure that the most we can hope for is house arrest. The courts won’t want a former president getting stabbed in the showers, being bullied into giving up national secrets or the bureaucratic mess of him having a security detail inside, as fitting as any of that would be.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Donald Trump has claimed that he won all 50 states in the 2020 US election at a Florida event where two of his rivals for the Republican presidential primaries were booed for suggesting the party should dump the former president before his legal woes catch up with him.

    He is set to testify on Monday at his New York civil fraud trial, related to his business dealings in the state, after two of his children took to the witness stand last week.

    Earlier in the evening, former state governors Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie urged the party to move past Mr Trump — ahead of the latter’s criminal and civil trials — to boost its chances of winning the 2024 election.

    Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a one-time friend and advisor who has become Mr Trump’s most vocal Republican critic, having broken with the ex-TV reality star after the 2020 election, was also booed by the audience and heckled as a “loser” and a “traitor”.

    Florida will also be the venue for the third presidential debate in Miami on Wednesday, which Mr Trump is again expected to skip, holding his own, alternative event.

    The state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, who is considered Mr Trump’s closest challenger but with a meagre 14 per cent support, failed to land a punch on the man who once endorsed him but has since become a political enemy.
