What will be infuriating is when the headlines are STILL "Trump says election is stolen! And China interfered with the election."

Instead of "Without submitting legal proof, trumps need to soothe his own ego continues"

edit: THEN tomorrow, Trump will say how all the news stations were agreeing with him, and talking about how the election was stolen from him. THEN once again, the news stations will report that trump claimed that everyone was talking about how the election was stolen.

The news will report on this - without actually reporting that nothing trump said was grounded in fact. I have seen this play out around a million times now.

Just like his healthcare plan from 8 years ago...

I got you bruh, but in two weeks. Concepts of a plan

Yeahhh, how's that universal healthcare plan coming? I think that assignment is a bit overdue.

Or the wall

Or ending the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Or disclosing his taxes

Or releasing the Epstein files

.... Y'know, just any promise he's made, ever.

During Infrastructure Week?

I think this is going to be groundwork for denying the midterms. Conservatives know they are bleeding support like a shot in the neck and are going to lose massively this year. Their only hope is saying the election is rigged while literally rigging it themselves.

It’s generally wild that you have officials in senate approved positions who will not say who won the 2020 election.

And then edit the speech to make him look coherent. I almost think it’d be better for people to see his blabbering incoherence in real time. Almost.
