Trump Sends Letter Demanding Georgia Declare Him 2020 Winner

It's time Trump gets looked at by psychiatrists and geriatric doctors in order to check his mental competency and his overall health because his latest missive is quite literally insane.

https://crooksandliars.com/2021/09/trumps-mentally-declining-he-tells-georgia




If you read the tweet without knowing the date, a normal person would think Traitor Trump sent this letter to Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in November of 2020, when he was trying to force Governor Kemp to commit a serious crime, but you'd be wrong.

In it, Trump claims there are 43,000 fraudulent ballots and demands Raffensperger decertify the results of the 2020 election and name Trump as the winner instead.

He's strapped for cash and hopefully headed for indictment. Fingers crossed.

"STOP THE STEAL" money yet, a reported $120 million or so. I don't think his coffers are bare. I think he's just barking at the moon crazy 🤪.

We're getting close to a year post-election now, and this lunatic is still contesting the election.
Georgia has had three fruitless recounts already.

Either the orange paint is chemically affecting his brain, or his comb-over is cutting off the flow of blood to his hideous head.

Whatever the reason, he should be in a rubber room, wrapped snugly in a straight white jacket, so he doesn't hurt anyone else. I really don't care if he hurts himself.

Do you really think this is another grift attempt on his cult? Apparently they still have some money remaining, so he might be going to the same well one more time.

He knows that even members of his own party are afraid of those loonies. Even if his political career is finished, he knows he can still use them to sow chaos and division, which he thrives on, because he's a sadistic fuck.

Although, I can't help but wonder how much of this is just the mentally-declining Trump reenacting the role of Mortimer Duke in "Trading Places": "Turn those machines back on! Turn those machines back on!"

The thing is he said he would do this and M$Greedia has played along with this demented power-hungry fool. He knew he was going to lose but that hasn't stopped him.

Trump says it could take 'months' or 'years' to know election results
President Donald Trump's comments come amid widespread concern that the U.S. Postal Service is not prepared for the increase of mail-in ballots this November.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ask M$Greedia about that widespread concern. After the Slobfather spewed that shit, 81 million people voted for Biden. That was widespread opposition to the Slobfather.

Who knew that making crap up and calling it reality wasn’t a good long-term strategy? Celebrity Apprentice was a stroke of a stable genius too.

To overturn the election results. Because he doesn't have it , or he would have done it, but he knows he'd be laughed out of court like has happened already 60 times before. Just a bully tactic , and making the case against himself stronger he isn't crazy, he's extremely corrupt, and desperately trying to corrupt others to get what he wants, which is absolute power, so he. Can escape. Prison . He may also know he's going to get indicted soon.

Trump’s letter is timed to inspire the MAGA Army of Ivermectin to attend the “Justice for J6” insurrection part II rally at the Capitol.

Hate direct linking tweets from those fuckwads - see the need to call them out but not directly link to their tweets.

Could he be suffering undiagnosed post-COVID brain damage?

I suppose it could also be that his ego has swollen to dangerous proportions to the point that surgery might be the only cure.

He must think this will somehow help his case in Georgia but hard to see how.
