It would be impossible for that to happen because Trump was the President during the 2020 election.
Wray was a Trump appointee. Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco were not in the government and neither was Jack Smith as he was at The Hague.
Lord, were in trouble down here.

(7,744 posts)Nobody in his Cabinet is going to invoke the 25th Amendment, because if they did they'd be pilloried or worse, and in the literal sense, from the MAGA loons. Impeachment isn't an option because Masturbating Mike won't call the House into session, and we know damn sure that the Senate doesn't have the guts to convict him if it somehow ever got there.
This is like a 4-year hurricane and we just have to ride it out as best we can, and hope to reclaim one or both Houses of Congress next year.

(2,913 posts)You'd think if he takes the time to lie about phones being tapped, he'd make the effort to use spellcheck.
JoseBalow
(8,837 posts)And spellcheck would recognize that as a properly spelled word. I don't think grammar check would flag it either, in context, as he's talking about calls and not phones?
Septua
(2,913 posts)Still, neither taped nor tapped is accurate based on the news I heard. The phone company provided calls and call times to, from and between selected numbers. Had the authorities truly tapped and taped conversations, the Jan 6 investigations would have been far more revealing and interesting.

(2,913 posts)But he has never been a President...he is mentally incapable of being presidential. He's in it only for the power and money.
I just saw a news clip saying he and the Trump family have made $1.8 billion since being elected in '24.
Steve Bannon is pushing a 2028 Trump presidency:
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/us/politics/president-trump-2028-steve-bannon.html
Notwithstanding the 22nd and 12th amendments, he says there's a "plan" but offers no specifics as to details of the plan. I suspect it's just distraction tactics from Trump's pitiful unpresidential performance.
I will never believe he "won" the presidency which is why I won't refer to him as such. He told us beforehand that it was "in the bag", and I happen to believe that when someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Septua
(2,913 posts)I looked at some 2024 election data and posted it previously. Trump gained only 3 million votes over the 2020 election. Kamala lost 6 million of the 81 million votes Biden got in 2020. My opinion is Dems, Repugs and independents all, are not ready for another non-caucasian President or female President.
And Biden's approval rating was ±40% throughout 2024, while Trump was propagandizing all great stuff he would do if elected. I'm not really sure Biden would have won if he had stayed in or if another white, male Dem candidate would have won. Too many people like Trump and too many people were unhappy with a Democratic White House and too many people vote their emotions rather than common sense.
llmart
(17,000 posts)He may have gotten more votes but I believe the vote count was rigged with the help of Musk. So yes, he could have gained votes but they may have been votes that were flipped. I do believe that decades from now and after he's dead, people who knew are going to start coming out with the truth. It took decades before everything about Nixon came out.
Septua
(2,913 posts)"..they may have been votes that were flipped."
I'm not questioning your rationale as other people have questioned the election counts. I'm just curious as to how it could have taken place. Flipped as in the ballot counting? Or flipped as in being "persuaded" to vote Trump instead of Harris? Or something else?

Nor do I think that he is the one coming up with the almost daily outrages that we are reading and posting about. He is just the "public facing" entity grabbing all of the attention while God knows who does God knows what in the shadows. For all I know, Russell Vought is the president right now.

Septua
(2,913 posts)https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/15/trump-immigration-stephen-miller-influence
Behind the scenes, however, this has been the apogee of Millers power and an episode that illuminated his power in a White House where his influence far outstrips his misleadingly modest title of deputy chief of staff.
As the long-term architect of Trumps years-long effort to reinvent US immigration policy, he has pressed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents to intensify efforts to arrest migrants as deportation figures fell far short of pre-election promises.
At a meeting at Ices Washington headquarters last month, Miller ordered them to skip the usual practice of compiling lists of suspected illegal migrants and instead target Home Depot, where day laborers gather for short-term hire, and 7-Eleven stores, to carry out mass arrests, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Miller is crazier and more radical than Trump.

I didn't bother commenting on the Imgur post, but I take DU much more seriously.
Of course it was warranted, never mind the lunatic and the Republicans.

We need to carefully retrace our steps back through the minefield and broken glass of identity politics and sweetie pie stuff to about where we were when Obama was elected. Our safety and strength are both there.

(455 posts)...in office, and the supposed "rigging" of the 2020 election. In this case he seems to be seeking to make some connection between what Democrats did before the 2020 election and what they did afterwards because--I suppose--they were at least alive at the time. And, even though he appointed Wray he has criticized him often as he seems to see him as a "deep state" plant from his first administration.
Like so many other things, this particular post does not seem to be a good example of him having "lost his mind."
We may be better served by pointing out things like the fact that the FBI director that initiated Operation Arctic Frost was appointed by him and shows that the alarm was bipartisan. Just my opinion....
