The president declined to confirm if he would accept November's result, posing questions as to what he might do if he does not.

Trump's remarks came after the president's frequent attacks on mail-in voting, which he has suggested—without evidence—could undermine November's outcome.

He bases this around the notion the president cannot run the executive branch without assistance, while others are barred from using its authorities at the behest of anyone other than the legitimate president—with the threat of criminal prosecution should they choose to. Michael Gerhardt, a constitutional law professor at the University of North Carolina School of Law, toldthat if Trump were to dispute the results he would not have the backing of any federal law in order to not concede a loss.

"He could file a lawsuit, but courts would likely expedite the case and rule against him unless he could show, as George W. Bush did back in 2000, that there was some fraud or abuse that resulted in votes being denied him or votes unlawfully given to Biden," he said. Richard Johnson, a lecturer in U.S. politics and international relations at the U.K.'s Lancaster University, similarly suggested that the president take legal action and sue different state's secretaries of state should he disagree with the verification of results.

Yeah voters to vote him in...

It’ll be the Biggest Mistake of his Despicable, Lies-Filled life.

Look no further, the senate and good old Moscow Mitch

Trump does not have some magical plan to stay in power. He is spouting this nonsense because he knows he is LOSING, this is to all psych us out.

He had them last time. Poll workers reporting machine counting errors and supervisors dismissing them.

realDonaldTrump is NOT planning to LEAVE IRREGARDLESS of the Election Results. THIS is the part where America Should be Truly TERRIFIED The CORRUPT GOP Senators are 100% COMPLICIT with this DESTRUCTION of Our Democracy 40 Days / VOTE

He has them. Its over

Trump coughs,it's breaking everywhere in the mainstream media.Biden steals,the mainstream media looks the other way.Trump speaks,thousands and one bad interpretations come out of it. Biden sexually harass a woman,everybody goes low.Why this much abhorrence of Trump?Be wise folks!

Is there a hdden message you trying to convey? I’ve been monitoring you.

Stop with the bullshit narratives

Why are you all so filled with hate and intolerance? Why is it impossible for two people with differing ideas to have a civil discussion without empty insults or baseless assumptions being thrown around?

DNC Propaganda Machine...

What if Trump loses and won’t leave? As Trump has carefully planted the seed that he might not leave the office willingly if he loses. Whether it’s tweeting that election should be delayed will be the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history.

He has them. The Senate and the Supreme Court.

This is an inflammatory statement .Please consider taking it down quickly.U r ruining ur brand.U used to be good.

This means that’s what the Democrats are up to. That’s why the Communist wanted mail in ballots. Nobody is staying home, therefore voting at the ballot boxes would have been 99.9% the best option for honesty. Mail in ballots can take a month after elections if not longer to know

Really? I could also deny NASA and show up for training. SMH

He's got accomplices. Bill Barr hasn't turned the presidency into a monarchy for a Democrat to occupy the White House. John Roberts hasn't supported corporations for years just to see a Democrat in the White House.

newsweak Democrats could defy election defeat. 😲

Another CIA disinformation article...

Is this article a warning? Or is the intention to spook? 🤔

The Law Shouldn’t allow it.

Alas, ACCOMPLICES are up there with BRAVADO & BULLSHIT as the only surpluses Trump runs.

STOP POSTING THESE DISGUSTING IMAGES 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Census Could Look 'Manipulated' If Cut Short By Trump Officials, Bureau WarnedCurtailing the time for conducting the census in the middle of a pandemic will lead to 'fatal data quality flaws that are unacceptable,' Census Bureau career officials warned in an internal document. The MORON wants to manipulate it. Representation is based on the census, and he doesn't want American Citizens to vote either. The whole GOP works endlessly to find ways to cheat you out of your vote, and your representation in government. Honesty means nothing to them. Your Sec. of Commerce, ladies and gents: In the 1980s, Donald Trump's three casinos in Atlantic City were under threat of foreclosure from lenders. Ross convinced bondholders to strike a deal that allowed Trump to keep control of the casinos. Worse here: Ya think? 🤔
