"I think it's better if you go before the election, because I think this scam that the Democrats are pulling — it's a scam — the scam will be before the United States Supreme Court," Trump said, alluding to his unsubstantiated arguments about fraudulent mail-in ballots. Asked for comment on the indictment of a police officer for wanton endangerment for shooting into neighboring apartments during the fatal shooting of, Trump instead referenced his record on issues important to Black Americans and said he didn't know enough about the decision to comment.
No, he wants to make love to his mirror image
We know. That's his plan. Lose contest the election stacked court fascism forever
Looking forward to having a conservative woman on the Supreme Court!
What premeditated dramatics...
Stacking the deck
gut these fish Send a message to repressive and elitists leaders by charging Trump and his ilk with CrimesAgainstHumanity
NPR WHYY rePortz in 2013
How many lawsuits has Don Trump, failed *businessman*, been involved in? It Is What He Does.
The only a**hole that’s going to contest the election results is realDonaldTrump. 🤷🏻♂️ moron
I can’t decide if he’s just an unethical slimeball, or is he’s also stupid.
No words....
I can't believe people support him. He is ruining our nation. It scares me to think what he will do if he is re-elected. He preys on the ignorant, radical, and elitist mentalities in our society.
A desperate man!
We been knew. Fascism to trigger the libs.
No, he expects them show loyalty to the man who put them their. He's transactional, now they can pay him and ignore the Constitution.
He will contest them.
I guess he doesn't believe he will win. Hope he is right and loses by an unquestionable margin. We can't take another 4 years.
If realDonaldTrump wasn’t worried about there being only 8 SCOTUS justices in 2016 when he was spouting off about the election being rigged, he can deal with only 8 justices as the incumbent.
Oh, you make it sound SO rational........ He’s threatening to use a packed SCOTUS to decide th election in his favor! Do better
I hope he knows Republicans expect him to lose, and will drop him as hot coal...if need be!
Because he’s going to sue if he loses to throw out every ballot he can.
So he wants to appoint a 9th SC justice in time to invalidate and reverse the Nov election results if he loses. What country is this?
Trump is a mobster.
Awesome
SimmonsGmarlins Nope. We should begin the impeachment process and stop all this. ImpeachTrumpAgain
That’s what he’s hoping.
I find myself increasingly frustrated with and their misleading half-adoring headlines trying to paint Donald trump as a thinking individual.
See what started in 2000...had they not brought the court into it, they would have won on the recount. The court should never had agreed to hear the appeal....in a way, the Supreme Court brought this on themselves....
He’s going to lose. Then we’re going to have to be brave enough to drag him out of there when he refuses to leave.
realDonaldTrump already creating hysteria, what a great leader for the American people
Because he’ll whine if he doesn’t win outright...
It worked for Bush vs. Gore. Another train wreck is on the rails.
also ending the usa holocaust wouldn't hurt people tell me about choice what about the person who gets killed blm 1000 blacks are aborted everyday do you need helen keller to draw you a picture
if you go 13 you can have 9 republicans and 4 democrats during your reelection then good bye lgbtqdf.. no more gay marriage you can win all evangelicals the vatican is getting too liberal
He cheats and stacks the court to steal an election. No matter what he will claim the results to be in error.
It would be hard to argue this logic, but I'm sure the media will come up with some psychosis to do so.
Y'all are *really* bad at this reporting thing.
I have never loathed anyone so much.
The only way Trump will win this election is to rig it by saying that the election results are rigged. He is masterfully sowing the ground for doubt, paranoia and chaos. Trump thinks he can manipulate the country to remain in power. VoteTrumpOut2020
Maybe I am naive, but I have to believe that any supreme court, even this one, would not allow the stealing of an election.
Seriously fuck that noise
This is normal, right? This is fine?😬
Well duh...that's a no brainer. Any reasonable person would want that.
He just says his plans out loud and we are pondering 'what he meant?'. He-is-counting-on-a-close-election-to-use-this-as-his-nuclear-option. It cannot be more clear. Please VoteEarly VOTE
In other words he's planning to cheat and install himself as dictator for life. How come I am better at telling the truth than NPR is?
They are announcing what they are planning, to claim the vote was rigged and force the Supreme Court to crown him as dictator, and still the Dems hmm and ha and do nothing to stop it
Well that's a good reason for Republicans to hypocritically tap dance back their rationalization for screwing Merrick Garland, because IMPOTUS doesn't think he can win the vote (again, popularly)
No matter what it is, It is ALWAYS about him.
I guess that today another 5 plane loads of people died of covid 19 is not important enough to get under control! WTF does the US need this incompetent idiot for.
Agreed
Of course, that is what he is planning, in addition to trying to buy loyal electors in key states. He is a criminal and a thug...not only do we need to vote him out, IMHO, we need to dissolve the electoral college. One person....one vote!
It's almost like he knows the justices on the Supreme Court will do his bidding 🤔 ...whatever it is.
Surprise, it’s a power grab
He has committed to contesting it in advance. That is not how democracy works.
And this isn't planning to cheat by using what is supposed to the highest level of justice?
DEMOCRATS, let’s make sure there is nothing to contest. Vote in person n a landslide!
Lies, lies, and more lies. Excuses, rationalizations, and justifications
All it seems that we are doing is saying 'aha' every time he blatantly does something to upend democracy. I think at this point I will be happy with just one actual politician calling him an asshole on television
This person is straight up TRIPPN. He bout to lose so bad they gonna have to get a mental health eval on his ass cause he gonna act the fool 🤣
So, he expects to lose without help from SCOTUS. Interesting.
Planning on cheating again?
Yes, there should be and will be!!!!
He’s already “PreParing” his Phase II dictator play: Chapter 23: “Tell them it’s ALL a lie. Play up the poor abused president that has tried but it didn’t happen bc THEY are SO mean. (Hell, whine if you have to), but WORK that paranoia to the MAX!” 🙌🏼
If they rule against him. Bio haz on cam.
Fixed it for you: President Trump says he plans to contest the presidential election results and force it end up before what he intends to be a rigged high court.
Because there is no chance the Left won't contest the coming landslide.
It’s time to call these statements what they are. Tell the truth about his actions. What are my donation dollars doing if not supporting your work to report the truth and not just facts?
He’s telling everyone his plan
'Trump says...' should very rarely--if ever--start a headline, unless it's followed by 'but.'
Bullshit. If that's true then put Merrick Garland in that empty seat.
Guess we just have to make it overwhelmingly obvious we hate him and want our country back.
And he’s right.
I hate him. 🤬 seriously I’ve never felt this way before about anyone. He’s so despicable.
I loathe this man
The past and present times have been painful, dangerous, divisive, and scary under Trump. The future does not look better under his rule, so it’s up to the people to make the change for leadership they need. He can fight the people’s democratic rights all he wants - and lose.
The democrats have said the won’t concede either
In 2016 we had 8 justices + there is a strong possibility that Trump didn’t really win - but that wasn’t investigated. So having 8 justices didn’t stop Trump from stealing the election in 2016. Guess cheating must be harder this year.
I expect that the military will be forced to remove tbis Tyrant
I HATE HIM SO MUCH
I course he does. It doesn’t matter if Dems win hands down, tRump will make it fake! Damn it. Is there anyone that has some control!!!
'wants the US SC to have all 9 justices for when Trump definitely tries to contest his loss.'
You are liable for this autocracy when you do not label it for what it is. Trump is threatening our democracy, which is already hanging on by a thread. Call. It. Out.
famousandyhall
“In the event”.... Even if he wins, he’ll claim fraud and conspiracy. Just like last time.
We’re witnessing history here folks, the POS is going to contest the results and use his pawns to back him up.
USA = 🍌 Republic
Terrifying
Lies! For the truth you need to listen to WeeklyWorldNews
Funny how nobody in the Republican party cared about having all 9 justices in 2016, isn't it? Maybe you could mention that right in your headline?
Election's already underway, and Trump's declared his corrupt intent. ➡️ New Justice will have to recuse.
Or we could just kick Thomas off the court to have a nice odd number....
This isn't what was said. Why the pretense that it is neutral when it isn't? Misrepresentation and disinformation.
when are you going to call this out for what it is?
sounds like a playground bully who knows he's been beat
He deserves the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, he has converted everything he’s ever touched into shit!
Hypocrite from 2016
By January Trump will be on a flight to Moscow to avoid arrest for treason
Radical Left , Marxists wld love nothing more than to watch the US collapse w contested election results unable to be resolved due to a 4-4 SCOTUS decision paving the road for chaos, lawlessness & revolution.
Oh, no..,.
well he is just telling you flat out that he intends to crowbar the election. it's right there.
Are you just gonna keep repeating what he says without questioning him
Your headline isn’t what he said and does not capture the spirit with which he said it and instead makes it seem like a sensible statement.
Good!
Jumping the Shark w/SCOTUS.
Excellent
Color me shocked
Some brave secret service member could solve our problems way before that
He wants to rig it and have the justices on his side😂😂
2016 election had 8 justices. SCOTUSnominee DoubleStandards
