Trump says he’ll leave if Electoral College seats Biden

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will leave the White House if the Electoral College formalizes President-Elect Joe Biden’s victory — even as he insisted such a decision would be a “mistake” — as he spent his Thanksgiving renewing baseless claims that “massive fraud” and crooked officials in battleground states caused his election defeat.

“Certainly I will. But you know that,” Trump said Thursday when asked whether he would vacate the building, allowing a peaceful transition of power in January. But Trump — taking questions for the first time since Election Day — insisted that “a lot of things” would happen between now and then that might alter the results.

“So contrary the the cuckolded defeated Freepers here who just got done washing the Thanksgiving dishes as their wives necked with their boyfriends in the parlor, Trump is absolutely NOT throwing in the towel.”

****

Oh yeah, there’s a lot of these pukes lately..and they sometimes stupidly post the same vanity that they’re too old , this is the end of America blah blah.

I saw the same posts in 2008 when obamatard won.

He might surprise us here. Because putting Biden & his gang in could mean packing the court. The “leftists” that control Biden are dead serious about doing that. If that would happen the USSC’s clout, position & prestige would greatly diminish. It would diminish the whole federal court system. USSC would be just the last rubber stamp to a run away legislature. They all know that ! I guarantee Roberts knows that. I can’t see Roberts doing something that would diminish the court’s prestige and his own.

I pray daily that all Patriots, true Americans and just freedom loving peoples will say: “Not only no, but HELL NO!!!” I pray daily for GOOD people to stand up and be counted and not let this theft of our election go on. We become no better than some Latin American, South American, Asian trial or African tribal clans running over the people and killing those in their way.

When has he ever said otherwise? The notion that Trump would refuse to leave the White House and have to be ejected by force was always a leftist fantasy.

I agree.

The trope of “ The President won’t leave” goes back as far as Clinton in my memory...and probably many times before that.

It’s really a dusty old piece of junk.

Yes, I’m getting irritated at the legacy media forcing “President-Elect” into every reference to Biden, and then acting like we are pedantic when we point out he hasn’t been elected to anything yet.

It goes along with the notion that a direct popular vote is the normal method of electing a President, when only a few countries choose their chief executives that way. France, Mexico, and Russia are the only that come to mind.

You forgot to put the word “impracticable” in bold.

If the courts are operating openly and freely then why would it be impractical for them to handle the matter?

The President has much leeway in deciding when to invoke the act and what measures he can take.

No he doesn't.

He has already sai he will fight to the Supreme Court. He has just said he will move out if there is no resolution in his favor on the appointed date.

Hi.
To the AP asshole...

baseless claims that “massive fraud” and crooked officials?

I’ve seen tons of evidence. Much having to be video, audio, sworn affidavits, statistical analysis and other evidence you assboles say doesn’t exist.

There will be a day of reckoning soon.

I’d say moving vans need to be contracted. Biden will be sworn in...was always the plan regardless of what happens.

is it Jan 20th 2021? no. so it’s not over. Trump may be a realist but you seem a defeatist. God is in control. God has final say on who will be elected president. Right now we have no final decision. You do no good to yourself or anyone by falling in line with the propaganda news.
...
Jan 20th means nothing. Who will extract PDJT from the Whitehouse if it is not decided by then? General Flynn and others who planned for like 10 yrs is not the only military who supports PDJT...who, who, who would force PDJT to leave the White House?

"President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will leave the White House if the Electoral College formalizes President-Elec Joe Biden's victory —"

I hope Trump has become politically astute enough --or has advisors that are -- to know that the election is not finalized until Jan 6th, one day after the new congress is seated.

The Electoral College meets in early December, I believe the 12th or 15th

At which time the electors, who are chosen by the 50 states' congresses, vote for the winner of the election.

Then the results are sent to the United States congress, and they are read Jan 6th.

It's my understanding that the winner will not be known until that time.

We must bear in mind that electors do not always vote the way that they indicate early on.

"...he [Trump] insisted such a decision would be a 'mistake' — as he spent his Thanksgiving renewing baseless claims that 'massive fraud' and crooked officials in battleground states caused his election defeat."

“... Trump — taking questions for the first time since Election Day — insisted that 'a lot of things' would happen between now and then that might alter the results."

AP had to put in 'baseless claims' in the article; they are so biased.

I would appreciate any members that can confirm or deny my opinion to weigh in with better information.

PS

I don't know if they release the results they get in December, if they do they could be fake news, depending who leaks the results.

“as we all do”

So you speak for everyone in the world?

Just because you gave up, doesn’t mean everyone did.

There are about 75M Patriots that believe in our President.

It is going to be a dramatic six weeks ahead, strong resistance is needed because the Democrats are basically a criminal organization as well as being entirely unpatriotic, Biden’s bluster about no red or blue states is meaningless drivel, and if we confront the stark facts of who voted for him ...

... about half are knowing co-conspirators, a huge number of traitors

... about a quarter are dupes, people who went along with some aspect of Biden’s policy set on some false premise that it would lead to a good outcome, and

... another quarter may not even exist, fraudulent made-up ballots, the voting by dead people or surrogates who somehow acquired the valid ballots of other voters ...

There is nothing in that mixture that says anything remotely good about a Biden administration. The Obama years were a chance to experiment with boundaries and probe the limits. The Biden-Harris years (mostly Harris after a few months, I suspect) would be all-out deconstruction of the American enterprise, a sort of time run backwards mirror image of the Revolution.

At the end wait jackals and hyenas ready to pick at the bones.

It has to be resisted — if not now, when? If not by this generation, by whom? (and disclaimer, I come to these conclusions from outside the country, wish it were not so, but it is, I’m in a position to know what happens when the globalists get hold of your country).
