Trump officially suggests delaying the election
Twitter ^ | 07/30/20 | Donald Trump

Posted on 07/30/2020 6:14:30 AM PDT by maxtheripper

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

There is no constitutional requirement on a date for election day. There is a requirement for inauguration day.

He just soaked up another news cycle. Wonder what they wanted to originally do.

If we can stand in line to see a dead guy’s casket then we can stand in line to vote...

See where he’s going?

That’ll keep the media busy for a couple days. I call these quips their “Daily Bone”.

You headline reads just like out of the leftist media. Trump did NOT "officially suggest". It is not official. It is not a policy statement. It is a tweet. It is in the form of a question, not a suggestion. A suggestion begins with a statement, followed by "what do you think about that?"

You've been trolled if you believe your headline. Trump is playing 4-D chess. I wrote earlier this morning that the media will pick this up and turn it into a declaratory statement in 3 ... 2 ... 1

You do realize this is a distraction for something else that Trump is doing for the good of the country, right? Every time he posts something like this, it spins the Dums to new heights of stupid commentary that will go on ALL weekend.

Something else is happening while this stays in the headlines for the next few days.

> Under no circumstances and for no reason. <

My head is spinning on this one. Had Obama asked that same question, we’d be angry beyond belief. But since Trump asked it, many here praise it as a clever move.

This is example number 1000 that the Donald needs to run his tweets past someone first.

Another trollworthy tweet by Orange Man Bad. This ought to keep them going until at least next Friday. What a bunch of lemmings.

This is an awesome Twitter post.

Ridicule is one of the most powerful weapons in the public sphere, and I like to see sane, rational leaders hammering points like this to expose the idiocy of all this irrational fear-mongering about COVID-19.

If it's not safe to open businesses and get people back to work, then it's not safe to open schools. Let every Karen whimpering at home behind her stupid mask figure out what to do with her kids.

If it's not safe to vote, then it's not safe to have anyone count ballots, either. Let's postpone all elections until everyone feels safe again.

Keep it up, Mr. President.

“””Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???”””


NOVEMBER 2024 sounds like a safe date to me.

Bullcrap. He ought to keep his rambling mouth shut in this regard. This is provocative stuff and is eroding our nation’s position overseas. Plus the libs are going to use this in all manner of ad and scare people and own it, guaranteed. He gives them just enough to screw him back with his own careless words and provocations. Individual states of the Union run presidential elections but the federal government so unless he is ready to send in federal troops to enforce it upon the individual states and stamp on states rights and prevent it, he better zip it. Enough of this man’s “just joking” and trolling. Even to suggest such a serious matter is an abuse of his entrusted power.

I don’t think he is just trolling the MSM ... I like to believe he has something up his sleave to ensure the full integrity of the upcoming elections ... knowing that the Dems are going to engage in absolutely massive voter fraud.

I would have bet you $100 that you were wrong. But I just looked it up. By golly, you are right.
