Trump Continues His Coup By Demanding Georgia Decertify Election Results - Ring of Fire



Donald Trump sent a letter to Georgia's Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger last week, demanding that he "decertify" the state's 2020 election results. This isn't something that can be done, especially since the Electoral College already voted, but Trump made the demand anyway by citing nonexistent voter fraud as the main reason. But Trump's letter couldn't have come at a worse time for him, as he is currently being investigated in the state for election interference. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

He just wanted the power and the attention (not to mention the campaign funds).

As a private citizen, the moron Trumpsky can bleat about a "stolen" election as much as he wants, and ask Raffensberger to decertify the election.

It's what he did while in office, pretending to be president, that constitutes abuse of power.

The only power he has is imaginary.
