Trump Suggests He Won't Accept Potential Biden Victory: 'You Have To See What's Happening'

President Donald Trump indicated on Monday morning that he may not accept the results of the November elections if he loses to his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, on the basis of his bogus conspiracy theory that mail-in voting leads to election fraud.


“I go by the election,” Trump said when the hosts of “Fox and Friends” asked for his response to concerns that he won’t allow a peaceful transition of power in the event of a Biden victory.

Then the President added: “Now with that being said, I have to tell you that if you go with this universal mail-in, where you send millions of votes–in California tens of millions of ballots being sent to everybody and their dogs, okay? Dogs are getting them, okay? People that have been dead for 25 years are getting them–you have to see what’s happening. Then you’re never going to have a fair election.”

“I’ll say this: You’re never going to have a fair election,” he repeated.

On January 18th, he'll have Air Force One take him to Moscow, and he'll never return. (He'll probably try to keep the plane too.)

We don't need Trump's permission or acceptance on ANYTHING relating to the election. Everyone stop giving him power on this and perpetuating the idea he has the last word on it.

Unless there is actually literal proof of voter fraud reported by LOCAL AND STATE OFFICIALS, the results are what the results are.

Where are the reports of millions of dogs filling out the ballots and having their address and signatures match the voter rolls? He should consider himself lucky that dog suffrage is not a thing, dogs are good judges of character.

he doesn't give shit about this nation, it's only about winning to him. and he will do anything and everything to do that and prevent him from looking like a one term loser and face endless lawsuits.

psychopaths will burn everything down and still think they have won because in the ashes they can claim victory because there will no longer be anyone to oppose them.

15. Again Trump Gets Out In Front Of This Election By Calling It Rigged.....
Mon Aug 17, 2020, 11:05 AM

He's projecting again and basically telling us what he's in the process of doing - rig the election - suppress and steal votes.

He's jumped out first to set the narrative and he really has no basis to make the accusations he's making. Again he's put us on the defensive.

What we need to do is turn it around on him. What we're seeing is real evidence of his rigging and stealing.

Every chance we get we need to point out all the shady things he and the Repugs are doing in plain sight to rig Nov.

We need to put him on the defensive and keep hammering away at his shenannigans.

The WH press corps needs to constantly question him and accuse him of the rigging. They can't let up and they need to keep on pointing out his lies with respect to his cheating.

We need to fight fire with fire and put him on the defensive.

Mr. Trump you are accusing the Dems of cheating and yet we see real evidence of what you are doing to cheat. If you are denying that you've had anything to do with all the evidence we're seeing that the Post Office is being used to slow down and suppress the American People's right to vote and if you believe in that Right - you have the power to stop DeJoy from tampering with the Post Office - you can put a stop to it immediately. Will you put a stop to DeJoy and this? Why aren't you putting a stop to that? You not acting on this looks like you condone this tampering? If the election is called into question Mr Trump - all fingers will point back to you. You need to take action on this now Mr Trump or you will be the one that is doing the rigging.

Continue to challenge him on this any chance they could. Get him to trip up on his words. Let the People know who is really trying to rig this election.
