Genie Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 It’s interesting that the networks get so fed up of waiting for the counting to end they just call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted November 7, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) That isn't the words from Trump being read out now on Sky News. That are his lawyers worrying that they will be out of a job very soon. I mean, it sounds slightly coherent. They have no hope now anyway, just give it up. He obviously instructed them to issue it but this is beyond pathetic. Go play some golf. Edited November 7, 2020 by trekka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's too much stuff about his supporters suddenly disappearing (when their numbers have increased!) and almost suggesting that he is immediately no longer President. He's still President until January. He may well skedaddle as much as dig in - who knows? But could we really put it past him to try and directly encourage his supporters to do something really bad in the near future? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going by the statement read out by Fox which purported to come directly from Trump, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the liberation of France watching all the celebrations over this, just shows the toll Trump has taken over most Americans over the last 4 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems longer than 20 years. I can't say the world has improved since then at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I edited my post as you quoted . I've no doubt that he instructed them to issue it but it was a bit too coherent for him as it appears. I suppose if it was a twitter post it would be all in capitals and every sentence finishing with an exclamation mark. More of that to come! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
