Uh Hilary claimed Trump was illegitimate as recently as this summer


She still conceded defeat. Bitching about the result is one thing, refusing to even admit the election is over is entirely another thing.

It sounds like Trump's gonna be holding rallies to convince people of his baseless election fraud claims apparently. So more super spreader events for his ego.

To please his base because he can;t accept he lost. I bet he still holds them after leaving office. He gets secret service protection after leaving office being a former president.

I dont think hes going to to jail. He's going to keep holding rallies and endorsing candidates. I wouldn't be shocked if he started his own political party.

Are we ignoring that House seat in Oklahoma where the Trump-endorsed GOP candidate said in an ad that people needed to vote for him because his opponent was black

And he won in a landslide

She conceded the day after, didn't she? For a self-described Libertarian, you manage to hit all the Trump talking points.

If you concede but keep challenging the legitimacy does it really count as respecting the results?

Counts more than outright refusal. I think the complaint was more 'the Russians helped Trump win' than 'Trump didn't win', though.

Trump's old buddy Putin is apparently leaning into the US electoral fraud story. Don't really blame him, since making the US look bad works for him.

And the more Trump wiggles like a turtle on his back, the more Putin profits.

That is more or less the question asked.


Depends on if he actually loses. Despite media shilling it's not over yet.

Though to be honest I never agreed with his losers comments. While there is something to be said for the tragedy of the plight of our armed forces, the way in which he expressed it was... Not kosher.


After pondering it a bit.. Trump has not lost. At all. He and his family have profited immensely from his time as president and it probably saved the Trump empire from going bankrupt.

He played and won. Sure, he could have won more - but calling someone a loser because they only won the jackpot/lottery once is silly.

Well, sir, we'll give it a few more days to see if any of the voter fraud charges proceed to trial. Actually, we'll give it a week. If nothing sticks by Monday lunchtime next week, we're going to stop paying to lick shit up a hill oh, I mean we're going to stop paying the court costs. Of course nothing stops you litigating after that ... but you'll have to pay for it. Sir.


I don't see it changing. A better approach would be to threaten his family. Tell him that if he doesn't cut the shit and stop embarrassing the GOP not only is his political career over, all of his children will be blackballed by the party.


Why would you assume that would bother him? You really think he'd tolerate being pushed out of the limelight by one of his own children anyway?

I don't really get the impression that Trump is concerned with dynasty or the 'Trump' name beyond how it personally benefits and glorifies him, his children exist for the same purpose.

If any of his spawn do run for office while he's alive and still functional I expect he'll never be more than a few feet away making it clear that they're just acting as middlemen for him.
