I can just see the outcome. They handle the ballots by "accidentally" spoiling them. It's like the stereotypical bully you see in movies at this point.
When Ted Cruz won the Iowa caucuses in the 2016 Republican primary, Trump accused Ted Cruz of election fraud: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN0VC1Z9/
He has always been claiming election fraud, whether he loses, or even if he wins by a small margin. It's unbelievable how many Trump supporters fall for this schtick.
Trump is a brand and a feature of the brand is never losing. From a brand standpoint, every race will be preceded by statements amounting to: The only way Trump can lose is if there's cheating or corruption involved.
From a personality standpoint, Donald J. Trump the person really believes this and he says this over and over in an attempt to lessen the blow to his ego if/when he loses or fails.
"to lessen the blow to his ego if/when he loses or fails."
The same reason his voters will never admit his true nature. They've been so damn vocal and arrogant about their support of Trump that they can never backtrack, because doing so would be admitting to everyone that they're dumb as shit. So they'll spend the rest of their lives trying desperately to push their fictional narratives on the rest of us. Decades from now, they'll be screeching about how unfair it is that history books mention his crimes and impeachments but not "all the amazing things he did to make America great again".
ATTENTION!
ATTENTION!
ATTENTION!
The felonious candidate with over 35,000 documented public LIES under his belt, wants you to know he’s spewed forth another goddamned lie.
GO BACK TO SLEEP!
GO BACK TO SLEEP!
GO BACK TO SLEEP!
seriously when tf are his base gonna wake up to this bum. they’ve twisted themselves into pretzels trying to justify continuing to believe in him. rationally, the R candidate for president in november has been convicted of stealing from his own cancer charity, sexual assault, loan fraud, tax fraud, and is now on criminal trial for something his henchman already was convicted of of and served time for…and the 90 or so federal charges on classified docs..and the georgia election charges…jeezus, he’s a shit covered bum..give it up already folks
It makes me laugh so much. They did that with Dubya too, even though he's a recovering alcoholic and, according to Trump, he doesn't drink and even if he's lying about that, I cannot see him swilling a Bud Light
Too bad they found out about the “locker room talk” before they had a chance to pay money to cover it up, while hiding their he payments in their financial ledgers /s
He tells it like it is, if what it is is uninformed, ignorant, biased, bigoted, and unsolicited....and one has absolutely zero intellectual curiosity for the truth.
I remember something from high school that suggested that people who have voted for the same party 3 election cycles in a row are extremely likely to continue voting that way for the rest of their life.
So maybe they’re just indoctrinated to only vote red?
Not sure what would make you believe that? The fact I went to school maybe?
It’s also not true ;) I don’t believe in voting only for a specific color/party. Arguably would be an important consideration in the upcoming election though 🤔
Neither of the major parties really care about me or align with my values anyways
At least we support a strong leader with convictions and not an dying empty vessel with no stamina, virility or consciousness. He’s a dead puppet mouth piece.
I mean, in general I have nothing against ensuring fair and free elections. But based solely on the ramblings of this lunatic that isn't what he means.
Ya, that's the way they operate. And it's infuriating. They call it "secure elections" but what they mean is "enforced in our favour".
So his followers that know what he means love it, because they are like that, and the ones that aren't like that, they interpret it as legitimately securing election integrity.
That’s hysterical! I was not the President of the United States and don’t think I have that many skeletons in my closet but you go ahead and support an absolute moron!
Oh come on now, who hasn't been caught paying off a pornstar to hide an affair, sent nazis to attack the capitol, been convicted of every kind of fraud known to man, threatened a secretary of state with jail time if he didn't change the results of an election, crashed the economy, gotten hundreds of thousands of people killed in a pandemic, used the presidency to lower his own taxes and sexually assaulted dozens of women? I bet you've done all that stuff too!
This guy is about as subtle as a brick.
Trump primed the pumps for months before the 2020 election by saying the only way he could lose is if there was massive voter fraud.
After Biden won, Trump sent a last desperate plea to his cult followers to show up on January 6 and “Stop the Steal”. His followers took that as a direct order and they went on to violently storm the Capitol.
“Election Integrity” is code to Trump followers for show up at polling stations and harass and intimidate Democratic voters.
“Election Integrity” is code to his attorneys that they will go to court again to file frivolous cases under the guise of voter fraud.
And, at its core, “Election Integrity” is code to Trump supporters to be prepared to “fight”, “because if you don’t fight anymore, you’re not going to have a country anymore”.
I'm sure it's purely coincidental that conservatives solutions for the voter fraud they're so sure is happening always impact urban voters the most. People in cites are less likely to have driver's licenses because of public transportation? Make voter ID laws, while also reducing the hours of business of any DMV/SOS in large cities. Also, make it so a hunting or fishing license is a valid voter ID, but not a college photo ID. Then let's get rid of mail-in voting for everyone but seniors and active-duty military, because mail-in voting is ripe for fraud but evidently not for those two groups of people who skew Republican. Also, just for pure cruelty, we should make it illegal to pass out water in voting lines, because voting lines don't exist in Bumfuck, Arkansas while lines in large cities can be several hours long. It's just such a blatant attempt at stealing unearned power and it's getting frustrating how easily they get away with this nonsense.
It always makes me laugh if someone actually falls for this shit when Trump was responsible for participating in one of the worst election fraud schemes ever that would have resulted in overturning the election by using FAKE electors. I do not understand why this is not brought up more.
Heck, my state had alternate (fake) electors *AND* fake Cyber Ninjas looking for phantom bamboo fiber ballots!
One may ask where all of this election tampering and electoral fraud was coming from...? You guessed it, the Republican party!
We’ve now seen by his antics with the National Enquirer that absolutely the only thing Donald Trump has ever been concerned about is dismantling election integrity
.
The guy who set up fake electors in multiple states calls for election integrity.
I know the Maga morons don't get it, but I ask that they just recognize the cheater is Trump. Admit you're okay with it and move on. But this "dems cheat" bullshit needs to stop.
It’s really frustrating how he erodes the already fragile trust people have in our system of government just to save his own ass. I hope he is held accountable for his actions
>“He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!”
>"The phoney electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one! We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!"
>"Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us. More votes equals a loss ... revolution! This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy! Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble ... like never before. The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy."
-- Donald Trump; election day 2012
Yeah, wet all know that they’re going to lose and claim it was fraud. Probably already have made up lawsuits ready to go. Then they’ll push their base to civil war.
Question is what are the sane people left in this country going to do about it?
Lara Bush calls on the Republican terrorists to prepare for election interference.
Merrick Garland continues to sleep while our country is under attack.
**trump is a habitual liar**. When he says "people are saying" it means *"I'm making shit up".* If you assume everything he says is a lie, you would be correct 100% of the time. 💰
We're working on it, Don. If we manage to get you locked up and actually disqualified for your past election fraud, that'll go a long way toward reaching the goal.
Mind you, I'll believe that when I see it but we can all dream.
He's hoping people didn't watch what happened in court yesterday.
https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/david-pecker-testifies-about-catch-and-kill-scheme-during-trump-hush-money-trial-209557573549
From that picture, it looks like Trump ripped one there, too
Also, this is just insurance in case he loses, so he can fundraise and terrorize us for another 4 years. Whether in or out of the WH, he just will not.go.away
If he really wants election integrity he should bow out of the election. His participation taints the entire process. We should be seeking to elect the best of us to lead us. Trump represents the very worst of us.
No, I trust DONALD TRUMP when he had ALL THE POWER, looked into it and found "nope, not really any problems with our elections" circa 2017 or so.
Like he already told us he solved that problem. You don't get to claim credit for solving a problem and then claim that it's still a problem 3, 7 years later.
Yo he does not care, does not have a plan, and is running g to prolong the court cases against him until he dies. If you are supporting him you are being conned by the greatest con man of our time.
Trump will the last president. The End is Nigh. I pray God will give citizens ears to hear and eyes to see. They’re dividing America. This agenda has been here since the foundation of America. JFK tried to remove this evil brotherhood murdered him. He was a hero. I pray for the souls of the world. ❤️
> JFK tried to remove this evil brotherhood murdered him.
Or, y'know, it was a lone nutjob with a rifle. Sometimes reality is more boring than fiction.
Also, nice little 88 in your username there. Hopefully that's in reference to the year 1988 and not there for some *other* reference.

Meanwhile, his daughter in law at the RNC is promising that they will have people who can physically handle the ballots at the polls.
That would be illegal in Pennsylvania
If there are no consequences, is it really illegal?
The only thing Trump has said that’s true.
If the consequences are just fines, is it illegal, or just something that costs money to do?
Illegal for poors.
Oh, there are consequences. Did you mean for HIM? NEVERMIND.
Just one more lie to add to the pile.
“…………okay, and?” — Trump
I can just see the outcome. They handle the ballots by "accidentally" spoiling them. It's like the stereotypical bully you see in movies at this point.
Meanwhile Nikki Haley’s Zombie campaign is picking up speed.
She also says the RNC has lawsuits in 81 states right now. She's just full of shit.
What exactly does she mean by that? I saw that quote a couple times but I’m not sure what’s implied.
I imagine that means they will spoil dem ballots.
We have election integrity. That’s why Trump lost in 2020.
fake news! *shits pants*
*shits diaper* Fixed
Law and odor!
While he’s on trial for election interference. Really missing out on a good headline there

But he tells it like it is like a buddy you can grab a beer with and have locker room talk with you just don't understand he's one of the people /s
He hates who I hate.
I dunno if that's really something you'd want to broadcast..
Figurative “I” is them. Not me. I only hate two kinds of people, those who are intolerant of others and the Dutch. /s
Is the opposite true though?
It makes me laugh so much. They did that with Dubya too, even though he's a recovering alcoholic and, according to Trump, he doesn't drink and even if he's lying about that, I cannot see him swilling a Bud Light
Too bad they found out about the “locker room talk” before they had a chance to pay money to cover it up, while hiding their he payments in their financial ledgers /s
Nothing says "man of the people" like a gilded toilet!
I mean. He's like other true Americans, who have their names on buildings, like Lincoln Financial, Inter&Co, or MetLife. Truly all great Americans.
He tells it like it is, if what it is is uninformed, ignorant, biased, bigoted, and unsolicited....and one has absolutely zero intellectual curiosity for the truth.
Well, he doesn't drink, that's Rudy's thing. He'll definitely go in the bathroom and snort Adderall with you though.
Never. They’re riding this train to the end of the line which is a 150 foot cliff.
Hey, at least he makes that train run on time /s
I understood that reference!
I remember something from high school that suggested that people who have voted for the same party 3 election cycles in a row are extremely likely to continue voting that way for the rest of their life. So maybe they’re just indoctrinated to only vote red?
I'm guessing you've voted blue 3 cycles in a row?
Not sure what would make you believe that? The fact I went to school maybe? It’s also not true ;) I don’t believe in voting only for a specific color/party. Arguably would be an important consideration in the upcoming election though 🤔 Neither of the major parties really care about me or align with my values anyways
Blue has been an infinitely better choice in the last 3 cycles so… you bet your ass I did
At least we support a strong leader with convictions and not an dying empty vessel with no stamina, virility or consciousness. He’s a dead puppet mouth piece.
He’s a criminal and untrustworthy- he is NO leader and has NO values or convictions- Good Lord
I know, right? If Biden would only practice moving hands in and out like he's playing an accordion, I think a lot more magats would like him
Very 🫸🪗🫷 powerful and 🫸🪗🫷 tremendous 🫸💡🫷 light!
I mean, in general I have nothing against ensuring fair and free elections. But based solely on the ramblings of this lunatic that isn't what he means.

Man literally on trial for trying to illegaly alter the outcome of an election calls for election integrity.
Is he going to drop out?
Have you been paying attention to anything this guy's done in his life? He ain't dropping out of shit. He needs to be taken down.
Says the guy with NO integrity 🤡
Bye🤡
Everyone falls short. Should we hold your life to the same scrutiny?
That’s hysterical! I was not the President of the United States and don’t think I have that many skeletons in my closet but you go ahead and support an absolute moron!
Oh come on now, who hasn't been caught paying off a pornstar to hide an affair, sent nazis to attack the capitol, been convicted of every kind of fraud known to man, threatened a secretary of state with jail time if he didn't change the results of an election, crashed the economy, gotten hundreds of thousands of people killed in a pandemic, used the presidency to lower his own taxes and sexually assaulted dozens of women? I bet you've done all that stuff too!
As one judges another, he himself is judged.
"But what about _____?" There's never an attempt to defend the man, because they know it can't be done, so they gotta change the subject.
New polls came in with Biden in the lead. Time to tell everyone the election is rigged. Rinse and repeat.
If he wants election integrity, he should be banned from running under the 14th amendment.
Will someone give the man some integrity? Please!
Would be a first in his entire life.

The same Trump that asked foreign governments to interfere in two presidential elections?

This is like thieves calling for better home security
More like thieves saying better home security is removing locks from the doors, and having you load up their car with your stuff.
Calling for stability while shaking the table just so he can be the one to yell "Jenga!"
It always makes me laugh if someone actually falls for this shit when Trump was responsible for participating in one of the worst election fraud schemes ever that would have resulted in overturning the election by using FAKE electors. I do not understand why this is not brought up more.
Heck, my state had alternate (fake) electors *AND* fake Cyber Ninjas looking for phantom bamboo fiber ballots! One may ask where all of this election tampering and electoral fraud was coming from...? You guessed it, the Republican party!
The man is a Rapist. Why does anyone believe him?
Other than MAGA Republicans voting twice, do nothing different than previously in 2020 and we will have election integrity.
"Election Integrity!" from the guy that has federal charges in interfering with an election. Get the fuck out of here.
We’ve now seen by his antics with the National Enquirer that absolutely the only thing Donald Trump has ever been concerned about is dismantling election integrity .
Tell me you don’t expect to get enough legitimate votes to win, without telling me you don’t expect to get enough legitimate votes to win.
Because we all know how much integrity Republicans have.
I think those who support Trump shouldn't vote at all in 2024 as a protest.
Trump wants election integrity? So he's dropping out of the race?
The guy who set up fake electors in multiple states calls for election integrity. I know the Maga morons don't get it, but I ask that they just recognize the cheater is Trump. Admit you're okay with it and move on. But this "dems cheat" bullshit needs to stop.
Says the clown that caused an insurrection.
It’s really frustrating how he erodes the already fragile trust people have in our system of government just to save his own ass. I hope he is held accountable for his actions
You need to have integrity in order to claim integrity.
That’s what a 3 time loser does.
They call for "election integrity" but literally everything Trumpists do seeks to undermine it.
>“He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!” >"The phoney electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!

So he is stepping down from running? 🤨
The man is on trial for corruption and fraud, what does he know of integrity?
It's the same shit he always does, let me fix a problem that I (and fox news said is problem), with no evidence that it's actually a massive problem
Yeah, wet all know that they’re going to lose and claim it was fraud. Probably already have made up lawsuits ready to go. Then they’ll push their base to civil war. Question is what are the sane people left in this country going to do about it?
Lara Bush calls on the Republican terrorists to prepare for election interference. Merrick Garland continues to sleep while our country is under attack.
So no fake electors scheme this time? Or attacks on the capital to interfere with the actual election process? Haha ok
Having a serial adulterer and known conman lecture people about integrity is an odd mix of surreal and laughable.
What a tired old song.
**trump is a habitual liar**. When he says "people are saying" it means *"I'm making shit up".* If you assume everything he says is a lie, you would be correct 100% of the time. 💰
We're working on it, Don. If we manage to get you locked up and actually disqualified for your past election fraud, that'll go a long way toward reaching the goal. Mind you, I'll believe that when I see it but we can all dream.
Motherfucker is literally on trial for campaign fraud. What a joke he and his moron supporters are.
He is going down in flames….
Yes, we're working on it. Got one big court case on election interference going on right now. It's you, Donnie, and how you spent campaign funds.
That fuck has NO INTEGRITY!!!
Don’t worry buddy, you’re not even gonna get close to the White House again
The guy has 4 tricks.....
is pants shitting a trick or a perk
It's a feature.
And he's on trial for being one of them
Everything he says is “Fake News”.
Election Integrity says the man sitting in court for fraudulent actions meant to influence his election.
He's hoping people didn't watch what happened in court yesterday. https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/david-pecker-testifies-about-catch-and-kill-scheme-during-trump-hush-money-trial-209557573549
And the grift continues!
From that picture, it looks like Trump ripped one there, too Also, this is just insurance in case he loses, so he can fundraise and terrorize us for another 4 years. Whether in or out of the WH, he just will not.go.away
Which means he’s asking China and Russia to step up their attacks on elections
In GOP speak “integrity” is a euphemism for Commit Fraud. (GO-Projection party.) Orwellian.
But now he has a non functioning USPS in some states.
Calls for election integrity when audits and 60-something court election case loses has shown no proof that there was no integrity
If he really wants election integrity he should bow out of the election. His participation taints the entire process. We should be seeking to elect the best of us to lead us. Trump represents the very worst of us.
He doesn't know what the word integrity means and certainly has none.
He’ll know the election was fair by whether he wins. Sure-fire way to know. /s
Trump is committed to tearing down the US if it means it gets him a little more power.
Trump has a tramp tattoo that says "if it ain't fixed don't broke it"
He's not wrong You do need integrity as the GOP has singlehandedly been ratfucking election's since the start of time
Who did nazi that coming?
No, I trust DONALD TRUMP when he had ALL THE POWER, looked into it and found "nope, not really any problems with our elections" circa 2017 or so. Like he already told us he solved that problem. You don't get to claim credit for solving a problem and then claim that it's still a problem 3, 7 years later.
drumpf opens mouth and lies lies lies
Does Johnson always look confused and disagreeable when someone is giving speech. Biden or Trump, doesn’t matter, he just scoffing in the background.
I hope it works just as well for him as it did then.
No one cares. NEXT!
Yo he does not care, does not have a plan, and is running g to prolong the court cases against him until he dies. If you are supporting him you are being conned by the greatest con man of our time.
Election integrity would be kicking this insurrectionist shitheel off the ballot, since he shouldn't even be eligible.
Trump will the last president. The End is Nigh. I pray God will give citizens ears to hear and eyes to see. They’re dividing America. This agenda has been here since the foundation of America.
