He's already stolen power. He's admitted multiple times that they rigged the election.

Trump said, on camera, "I was president, then I wasn't. Then they rigged the election and now I'm president again." That's slightly paraphrased because I don't care to listen to him talk again if I can avoid it, but the wording wasn't ambiguous.

He admitted to it a few more times, but that was the most blatant one.

He meant they rigged it for Biden. He talks like an idiot

No, he really didn't.

He vomits just enough word salad to give his supporters an excuse to pretend he didn't say what he said, but he's been remarkably forthright about nearly every heinous thing he's done or is planning to do, from "grab 'em by the pussy" to "we need Greenland for national security." And even when he doesn't just publicly confess outright, you can tell exactly what he did because he falsely accuses others of doing it.

I thought he made some references to Musk taking care of the voting machines.

How does, "then they rigged the election and now I'm president again," suggest that he's talking about Biden? He plainly laid out the sequence of events. It was one of the least convoluted things I've ever heard the man say.

He was trying to be snide about the fact that he would have been president 2 terms in a row but they cheated him out of it.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Have you actually seen the video? It's very clear that wasn't what he meant.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Have you? The video makes it more clear that's what he means.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It really doesn't. It's clear he's walking through events linearly. He says he wasn't president anymore, then the election was rigged and he's president again.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So you haven't actually seen the video, just the out of context clip?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, I've seen the video and have no idea how anyone could possibly think he was talking about Biden.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 2 points 2 days ago

Then why did you start your quote exactly where the out of context clip does?

Instead of quoting from memory, why not just link the video you think proves you right?

[–] GhostedIC@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Obviously he was referring to Biden's presidency, which he claims was the result of a rigged election?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 0 points 2 days ago

Did you watch the clip? It's pretty obvious he didn't mean Biden.
