The Donald Trump Score Card

Of course it does.

 

As expected, Voting rights: Senate Republicans block signature Democratic election bill in key test vote - CNNPolitics

I can only hope we vote out enough Repubs in the midterms to take away their filibuster power. They can make it difficult to vote but they can't make it impossible. Unless of course we let them.

 

Trump used July 4, 2020 to make a similar statement. It sounded like a remark about what would become his insurrection at the Capitol.


Trump:

"We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters, and the people who, in many instances, have absolutely no clue what they are doing,"

 

When it's Trump's people, he says that they are special and that he loves them.

 

To be fair... Trump did defeat himself.

 

He may not disclose who he voted for, but someone will. I can almost be sympathetic to his reasons, almost sounds like it could be legit- but if it’s found out that the vote was for Biden, GoP will be jumping up and down saying “SEE? SEE? We’ve been saying it all along! Voter fraud, right there!!”

 

Trump specifically told voters in North Carolina to vote twice.

Now that's one audit I'd like to see

 

Well if anyone believes in a quid pro quo it's trump...lol..

 

That's President (in waiting) Dwayne Johnson

 

Trump Says 'We Won' Georgia After State Announces Purging of 100K Names From Voter Rolls

Former President Donald Trump, who still maintains that he won the 2020 presidential election, said a recent decision to purge names of outdated voters from Georgia's rolls signifies that he carried the state.

Except: Trump doesn't understand how the election process works. Every state purges the names of outdated voters. Even here in Massachusetts where the state legislature just voted to expand mail-in voting purges names if you haven't voted after a few cycles.

 

He did??

 

Well, if he said it- you know they (MAGA) did it!

 

Trump Encourages People in North Carolina to Vote Twice, Which Is Illegal

excerpt:

"Mr. Trump encouraged people to send in an absentee ballot and then go vote in person on Election Day.

“Let them send it in and let them go vote, and if their system’s as good as they say it is, then obviously they won’t be able to vote,” the president said. “If it isn’t tabulated, they’ll be able to vote.”

“That’s the way it is,” he added. “And that’s what they should do.”

Voting twice in the same election is illegal.

But Mr. Trump’s suggestion that people should vote twice is one he has discussed privately with aides in recent weeks amid concerns he is depressing turnout among his supporters by raising alarms about the security of mail-in voting."

 

Quoted for truth.

 

Trump saw his poll numbers decreasing in spring and summer 2020 due to his inability to grapple with the coronavirus and race issues.

Anticipating that he might lose the 2020 election, he embarked on an election fraud narrative to explain his potential loss.

The fraud narrative had the effect of depressing his own voters who would lack confidence in the voting system during the general election that Trump later lost (and the Georgia U.S. Senate runoff election that both Republican candidates later lost, causing Republicans to lose control of the Senate)..

As a remedy for that, he encouraged people to illegally vote twice in the 2020 general election, absentee and in-person, to test the system whose confidence in it he damaged with his false narrative.

 

Trump says "we won" Georgia after state announces purging of 100K names from voter rolls

excerpt:

"Former President Donald Trump, who still maintains that he won the 2020 presidential election, said a recent decision to purge names of outdated voters from Georgia's rolls signifies that he carried the state.

Georgia has been at the center of Trump's anger over the election's results, and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger took particular heat from the former president for not doing more to overturn the results. Trump has failed to present any evidence that would turn the election in his favor but has vowed that incriminating information that exposes corruption in the voting will be unveiled.

In a Tuesday statement, Trump criticized Georgia's decision to remove "obsolete and outdated" names from voter rolls after last November's election, noting the small margin of his loss.

"This means we (you!) won the presidential election in Georgia," Trump said in his statement."

 

Trump says "we won" Georgia after state announces purging of 100K names from voter rolls

excerpt:

"It's not possible to conduct the list maintenance during a general election because federal law requires states to rely on voter rolls that may include some obsolete files, according to Raffensperger.

More than 18,000 voters were removed from Georgia's rolls last month after the state concluded that they died. While Trump has been adamant that deceased voters helped sway the election in Joe Biden's favor, Georgia officials said there was no record that any of those 18,000-plus voters purged from the rolls cast ballots in the November election, according to the Associated Press.

Trump won Georgia in the 2016 election by nearly 6 points, but last year he lost the state by less than a point, giving Biden 16 electoral votes.

Although Trump implied that removing voters before the election would have changed the results, Raffensperger has given no indication that is the case. Newsweek reached out to Raffensperger's office for comment but did not hear back before publication."

 

Nor did he know much about government & politics when he took office....i.e., didn't know about the job he was about to assume.

That's something that always got to me because not only did Trump not know the ins & outs of his new position but that he made no effort to learn over his 4 years.In 2016, when people said they'd love to see a president who was 'not a politician,' they now had a chance to see what that would be like......and they could see it was an egregious.....and often embarrassing....error. Naturally, Republicans didn't think this lack of knowledge of the trappings of the office was of any importance.

If Dwayne ('The Rock') Johnson runs for president, his ignorance of 'how the system works' would suddenly become a paramount point by the GOP in campaigning against him.

Hypocrisy.....always, hypocrisy.
