Trump also claimed his bombshell attempt to delay November's election was merely a way to get the media to talk about his allegations against mail-in voting and added that he expects to know election results the night of Nov. 3.

'Glad I was able to get the very dishonest LameStream Media to finally start talking about the RISKS to our Democracy from dangerous Universal Mail-In-Voting (not Absentee Voting, which I totally support!),' he tweeted before his news conference.

Presidents have no power to change the date of the election. That must be done through an act of Congress. And Republican senators, including several Trump allies, were quick to say it wasn't going happen.

Uh no, a question is not grounds for impeachment.

What’s with Calabresi? He goes running to the NYT over an off-the-cuff Tweet? Certainly he knows that POTUS is powerless to move an election.

“Uh no, a question is not grounds for impeachment.”

You do realize that doesn’t matter to the never Trumpers? LOL. If Trump broke wind during a press conference, I’m sure that would be enough for them to declare grounds for impeachment as well!

The headline is false and does not reflect what President Trump actually said. What he doubled down on was concerns about mail-in voting:
"We're asking for a lot of trouble," Trump said."'Do I want to see a date change? No."

"I don't want to delay," Trump added. "I want to have the election. But I also don't want to have to wait three months and then find out that the ballots are all missing and the election doesn't mean anything. That what's going to happen."

"Glad I was able to get the very dishonest LameStream Media to finally start talking about the RISKS to our Democracy from dangerous Universal Mail-In-Voting (not Absentee Voting, which I totally support!)," he tweeted before his news conference.

But how many people will not read beyond the headline and think that President Trump actually wants to delay the election?

Leftists have suddenly become huge fans of the Federalist Society. Once again POTUS does something that would have seemed impossible a few years ago.

Exposed another traitor is all. Trump did this on purpose. He admitted it.

This clown helps explain the weak Federalist Society judge lists that produced the mediocre Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.

Good old Emily Goodin from the Daily Mail and their sensational headlines. Rinse and Repeat.

I see it this way. They couldn’t bring Trump down with the nasty bimbos who came out of the woodwork after his election. Couldn’t with Pelosi’s crazy impeachment attempt. So they bring Fauci in to bring the country (and economy of course) to its knees. Pay off his nasty niece to write a “tell all” book that’s likely as true as Dr. Doolittle. Now their calling him mentally unstable. I tremble to think what they will try next, and if he does win (and I have concerns about this election), they will lose what is left of their ever, loving minds.....
