  Calling the Georgian governor and looking for 20k votes wasn’t trying?? What the fuck didn’t smoke to come to that conclusion?

    He could have just not shown up to the inauguration. He could have declared a state of emergency. He could have taken control of the military. He could have done any number of things, but he didn’t. Instead, he stepped down when the time came. That’s not a dictatorial thing to do when you have power.

    Oh yeah, and Trump wanted to protect the Capitol Building.

      1. wouldn’t have mattered the ceremony would have taken place regardless of trumps involvement as the people have already voted

      2. he would have been laughed at

      3. that is ILLEGAL as American military can NOT be used against Americans

      4. 10k guards would have been overkill and a waste of taxpayers money. Trump and his chronies inticed the J6 riots. Who knows if this guy is even being truthful anyways?

      Trump is a known liar, cheater and total POS.

      If he cared about the people he wouldn’t be going on and lying about his croud sizes. The man is a narcissist and only concerned about himself

        1. Yes, but if he wanted so badly to keep power, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have shown up.
        2. People don’t laugh when the police/military come enforcing it.
        3. If he’s a dictator, what does he care? He could have used the National Guard, by the way. No such restriction on them.
        4. Do you really want to call protecting Congress “a waste of taxpayers money”? And lying under oath is a pretty serious crime, especially given Trump was no longer President when the interview happened. Why was this interview suppressed to begin with, anyway?

      He didn’t go to the inauguration and what makes you think that has a goddamn thing to do with it.

      Trump was one of only three presidents to be too much of a whiny bitch, but the outgoing president is not needed for a new president to be sworn in

        Okay. That’s one thing he did on that list. Now how about the rest?

  He’s got Project 2025 in his pocket this time and will fill all possible government roles with people who will work to dismantle democracy. The first time was a chaotic shitshow. If he wins again it will be a well organized shitshow which is far more terrifying.
