    I hate to say this but the media is taking the whole "Trump won't accept defeat peacefully" way out of proportion.

    What the journalist asked was "Will you transfer power peacefully after the election?" To which Trump responded "We'll see what happens"

    The phrasing of that question assumes that Trump will lose, "we'll see what happens" is a perfectly fine answer in that case since it depends on the outcome.

    Sure, it can be assumes that the journalist meant "If you lose," but that's not what he asked. Is it really surprising that Trump doesn't understand the subtext?

    maybe if you view that single line in a vacuum ignoring the preceding "win, lose, or draw" AND completely disregarding the context of him already doing everything in his power to cast doubt on the election process, AND ignore that he's previously made similar statements, AND ignore the lines right after were he essentially says that any result in him losing is illegitimate then sure

    You don't know many narcissists, do you?

    Also you are conveniently omitting the dozens of other remarks he's made about this.

    Man did you just erase any and all context, or did you not actually read any reporting on it? Lol

    And this is how in 7 years time people will remember Trump fondly and i'll laugh looking at how liberals embrace him once he does a semi decent thing once.

    The only people that are going to remember Trump fondly are zoomers who don't grasp the lasting implications to electing a meme of the most powerful office in the world

    We've done this song and dance but a la Bush he was absolutely hated by the end of his second term and now people are fondly remembering him and wanting to go back to a time when he was president. Give it 5 to 10 years between Trump and the next terrible figurehead and the rose colored glasses will come out or they'll empathize or humanize him like so

    Those discarded ballots Trump keeps bringing up were early military ballots that were tossed out by a temp working the PA elections. The FBI is investigating. There is also an investigation in how Trump learned about it so quickly.

    It also seems to be said that they were discarded because of a law that was passed or something that made them invalid due to being improperly filled out, not to mention it's highly unusual that someone would tell what candidate's names were on the ballot.

    Will the semi decent thing be dying? Just because some people warmed up to Bush Jr, doesn't mean Trump is anywhere near him as a person.

    I'd say we thought we hated Bush as much at the time, but with trump we've discovered new levels of hate so we hate trump more but not cause we actually hate Bush less, if that makes sense.

    Bush was more - "fuck, this guy sucked and we regressed worse than normal GOP administrations"

    Trump is more - "oh my fuck"
