Trump Lied About the Election He Won. Imagine if He Loses.

If he is declared the loser, who knows what the limits are for a commander in chief who’s already exhorted his followers to “LIBERATE VIRGINIA”?

Last week, President Donald Trump assured the nation that he will leave office if he loses in November. “Certainly, if I don’t win, I don’t win,” he told Fox News. He continued, “You go on, do other things.”

Call me crazy, but I don’t believe him.

John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser, just revealed in his forthcoming book that President Trump told Xi Jinping, the authoritarian leader of China, that the two-term constitutional limit should be repealed for him, and asked his Chinese counterpart to interfere in our 2020 election to help him win.

Worries Trump is ‘deteriorating rapidly’ after video shows him struggling to walk down a ramp: ‘They can’t hide this much longer’

Commentators on Twitter worried about President Donald Trump’s physical and mental health after video showed him struggling while descending a ramp following his graduation address at West Point.

“He minces down the ramp taking tiny baby steps and staring at his shoes, then pulls up big at the end, and blusters through the last step like he’s Patton surveying a battlefield full of knocked out panzers,” Mike Rochschild posted on Twitter.

Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown issued the following statement on the date of the incident saying he was “deeply disturbed by the video”:

“Tonight, after a physical altercation between two separate groups of protesters participating in an illegal demonstration beyond the curfew, two Buffalo Police officers knocked down a 75-year-old man. The victim is in stable but serious condition at ECMC. I was deeply disturbed by the video, as was Buffalo Police Commissioner Byron Lockwood. He directed an immediate investigation into the matter, and the two officers have been suspended without pay. After days of peaceful protests and several meetings between myself, Police leadership and members of the community, tonight’s event is disheartening. I hope to continue to build on the progress we have achieved as we work together to address racial injustice and inequity in the City of Buffalo. My thoughts are with the victim tonight.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in a tweet, called the incident “wholly unjustified and utterly disgraceful.” 

Cuomo called President Trump’s tweet promoting conspiracy theories about an elderly protester who was hospitalized after being shoved to the ground by police in Buffalo “reprehensible.”

“President Trump did a tweet today that surprises me — even after all the tweets that he has done,” Cuomo said at his daily press briefing. The governor said he was shocked and disgusted by the president’s suggestion that the 75-year-old man is an “ANTIFA provocateur” and may have been trying to “set up” law enforcement.
