Perspective | Twelve signs Trump would try to run a fascist dictatorship in a second term

excerpt:

1. Trump uses military power and federal law enforcement to suppress peaceful political protest.

2. Trump persistently lies about voter fraud, setting the stage for him to use emergency powers to seize control of the election or challenge the results if he loses.

3. Trump has repeatedly suggested that he might remain in office after a second term and has offered reason to doubt he’d leave peacefully after this first term.

4. Trump appears to believe he has the power to outlaw speech critical of him, and he calls the free press “the enemy of the people.”

5. With Fox News promoting Trump’s lies as truth, the president controls one of the most powerful propaganda machines ever created.

6. Trump believes that he has the power to do what he wants, regardless of Congress or the courts. “I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president,” he has said.

7. Trump acts as if he owns our government and can fire any official who defends the law.

8. Trump uses federal prosecutorial powers to investigate his opponents and anyone who dares scrutinize him or his allies for the many crimes they may have committed. After the

9. Trump viciously attacks his critics and has publicly implied that the Ukraine whistleblower should be hanged for treason.

10. Trump has messianic delusions that are supported with religious fervor by millions of his supporters. He has “jokingly” looked up to the sky and said, “I am the chosen one” in relation to negotiations with China.

11. Trump subscribes to a doctrine of genetic superiority and incites racial hatred to scapegoat immigrants and gain power. He has rallied his base with dog-whistle attacks, calling Mexicans rapists and criminals.

12. Trump finds common ground with the world’s most ruthless dictators while denigrating America’s democratic allies.

Trump should have been thanking two Muslims and Germany for the Pfizer vaccine instead of publicly patting himself on the back at the Rose Garden.

A Muslim couple find the vaccine for Covid-19

excerpt:

"Covid-19 Vaccine with the claim of 90% effectiveness is finally here. The credit to develop it goes to a Muslim couple from Turkey, Physicians Ugur Sahin, and Oezlem Tuereci. The 55-year old physician and his 53-year old wife formed the dream team that gave the world a real hope tor the Vaccine. Pfizer and BioNTech, claimed the product is 90 percent effective and would soon be available. It’s a breakthrough in the world of medicine.

His wife, Oezlem Tuereci, 53, is a board member of BioNTech, a company owned by her husband. She is the daughter of a Turkish physician who also migrated to Germany."

Michigan lawsuit wants Trump named winner, citing conspiracy theories

excerpt:

"A new lawsuit brought by a group of Michigan Republicans asks a federal judge to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's win in the state based on a bevy of conspiracy theories and claims contradicted by election experts.

Six Republicans — three who would be Electoral College electors for President Donald Trump and three local GOP officials — filed the suit in federal court Wednesday night, two days after the Board of State Canvassers certified Biden's 154,000-vote victory in Michigan.

Among their attorneys is Sidney Powell, who appeared at a press conference with Trump's legal representatives last week. Since then, however, the Trump campaign has said that Powell is working on her own."

 

Trump says he will leave White House if electoral college votes for Biden.

Trump could mount a last-ditch effort of trying to convince 37 or more electors for Biden to defect and vote for him instead, a nearly impossible task.

In 2016 Trump ended up with 304 electoral votes instead of 306 due to two faithless electors who voted for Ron Paul and John Kasich instead of Trump.

Faithless electors in the 2016 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

excerpt:

"The faithless electors who opposed Donald Trump were part of a movement dubbed the Hamilton Electors co-founded by Micheal Baca of Colorado and Bret Chiafalo of Washington. The movement attempted to find 37 Republican electors willing to vote for a different Republican in an effort to deny Donald Trump a majority in the Electoral College and force a contingent election in the House of Representatives. The electors advocated for voting their conscience to prevent the election of someone they viewed as unfit for the presidency as prescribed by Alexander Hamilton in No. 68 of The Federalist Papers."

Trump could try to identify all the electors who are supposed to vote for Biden, invite them to the White House, and give them a luxurious overnight stay at Trump International Hotel while saying to them 'I'd like you to do me a favor.'

Trump did a similar stunt when met with Michigan's state house and senate leaders at the White House who stayed at his hotel. Trump was trying to find a way to stop the upcoming Michigan vote certification.

 

In Georgia she listed a plaintiff who now says he never agreed to be on that case. That mistake could get her disbarred.

In 2018 Republicans were relishing how Republican Brian Kemp beat Democrat Stacey Abrams for governor in what they deemed was a fair election while mocking Abrams' claims of voter suppression.

Two years later, people like pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell are attacking Kemp by accusing him of being complicit in an alleged fraudulent Georgia election that in reality was fair and that Trump lost.

The infighting runs the risk of the Republicans losing two U.S. senate races in Georgia.

 

Trump finally took questions and became upset with a reporter.

He says big news is coming in a week or two about what he deems a fraudulent election.

He made the same remark last week and the week before that.




Trump Is In No Mood To Concede, But Says Will Leave White House

excerpt:

""There's no way that Biden got 80 million votes," he said, repeatedly.

When a reporter pushed back against his claims, Trump got angry. "Don't talk to me that way," he said. "You're just a lightweight ... I'm the president of the United States. Don't ever talk to the president that way."

Trump said he would leave the White House on Jan. 20, Inauguration Day. "Certainly I will — and you know that," he said. "But I think that there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20th of January, a lot of things."

One of those things: Trump will campaign for the two Republican senators in the Georgia runoff races on Jan. 5. The White House said he will headline a rally on Dec. 5, and Trump said he may return to the state before the election, if needed. The results of the races will determine whether Republicans retain control of the Senate.

But he refused to say whether he would attend Biden's inauguration ceremonies, as is tradition. And as far as his political future beyond Jan. 20 — Trump also declined to answer.

"Well, I don't want to talk about 2024 yet," he said."

Trump briefing. Questions start at 18:30.

Trump took questions but responded with 26 minutes of monolog.

He referred to the Georgia Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger as an enemy of the people.

 

Trump sounds like an endless pre-recorded message.

He offered no explanation for why nearly all of his election court cases have failed. Instead he said once again that big revelations will occur in the upcoming weeks.
