Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think trump believed the post. I think he believed a random internet post more than the fact checker. Maybe he keeps saying nonsense because he believes it, and not always because he is trying to manipulate people.
NBD. Not like he's running for a position powerful enough to wipe 90% of life off the planet or anything. We want the president to be a gullible rube that doubles down on the stupidity when discovered. What could go wrong?
I could maybe believe this if he didn't flop around on things and say some of them were jokes. Like the lost by a whisker comment that pissed off several members of his base so he just walked it back by saying he was kidding.
He is running and spending millions of tax payer dollars, on an election he doesn't believe is legitimate according to his words/actions. Bologna, why would you spend all your time on something you know you can't win.
He knows he lost, he is just a fraud. The people he frauds, the U.S. population. Pence made sure the legitimate electors were submitted last election. Wait for the conspiracies that come when maga realizes Harris is the one who submits the electors now.
