Fox News Silence Over Trump’s Bizarre Claim to be Immediately Installed as President Speaks Volumes
MediaIte ^ | Aug 30th, 2022 | Colby Hall

Posted on 08/30/2022 9:00:30 AM PDT by rod5591

Former President Donald Trump has insisted that he immediately be re-installed as president or that a new election be called. His reasoning? A Mark Zuckerberg interview in which the Facebook founder reiterated his previous claim that the FBI warned him of a potential dump of Russian misinformation weeks before the 2020 general election that Trump lost to President Joe Biden.

Yes, the former president really did demand he be reinstated as president 664 days after losing the election. By any objective measure, it’s nuts. Batshit crazy.

Trump first made the bizarre demand on his fledgling social media platform Monday at midday, then “re-truthed” his comments at roughly 2 a.m. Tuesday:

Basically he put out a lot of executive orders that were blocked or reversed by Biden! Anything he got passed in congress?

He did achieve the following:

A 33-16 edge for republicans in governorships in Jan 2017, down to 27-23 Jan 2021

A 52-46 edge in Senate seats in Jan 2017 to 48-51 deficit in Jan 2021

A 241-194 edge in the House in Jan 2017 to a 213-222 deficit Jan 2021

A 41% and 37% turnout in 2010 and 2014 respectively for the midterms (with mostly conservative turnout) to 50.3% in 2018 (with increased Dem turnout leading to us getting beat bad)!

Honestly, frankly, the time draweth nigh, this country is being taken down by that insane demented bastard whose name I need not mention, and others.

Trump’s suggestion sounds reasonable to me. Support figuring out a way for the rightful POTUS to be placed in office - IF it isn’t already too late - or face the future with Brandon. Your choice.

Part of why I’m not all that impressed.

He had Congress when he started. Only half of it part way thru - but that means 3/4 of the time he had Congress going for him.

(Incidentally, this is compared to Reagan - whom we’re told was nothing next to Trump - who had to work some 3/4 against Congress. We didn’t lose anything and gained some until Bush screwed it up.)

Lots of people feel "uncomfortable" facing the fact that our US Government has been overthrown by massive election fraud.

Lots of people feel "uncomfortable" that an insane, bizarre menagerie of putrid evil freaks now inhabit the halls of our White House and Congress.

Yet here we are.

I didn’t expect the clowns to like that kind of link..

Maybe this will be a better perspective of what he had/has to deal with.

Donald J Trump
May 18,2021

I have just learned, through leaks in the mainstream media, that after being under investigation from the time I came down the escalator 5 ½ years ago, including the fake Russia Russia Russia Hoax, the 2 year, $48M, No Collusion Mueller Witch Hunt, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and others, that the Democrat New York Attorney General has “informed” my organization that their “investigation” is no longer just a civil matter but also potentially a “criminal” investigation working with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. There is nothing more corrupt than an investigation that is in desperate search of a crime. But, make no mistake, that is exactly what is happening here. The Attorney General of New York literally campaigned on prosecuting Donald Trump even before she knew anything about me. She said that if elected, she would use her office to look into “every aspect” of my real estate dealings. She swore that she would “definitely sue” me. She boasted on video that she would be, and I quote, “a real pain in the ass.” She declared, “just wait until I’m in the Attorney General’s office,” and, ”I’ve got my eyes on Trump Tower.” She also promised that, if elected, she would “join with law enforcement and other Attorney Generals across this nation in removing this President from office,” and, “It’s important that everyone understand that the days of Donald Trump are coming to an end.” The Attorney General made each of these statements, not after having had an opportunity to actually look at the facts, but BEFORE she was even elected, BEFORE she had seen even a shred of evidence. This is something that happens in failed third world countries, not the United States. If you can run for a prosecutor’s office pledging to take out your enemies, and be elected to that job by partisan voters who wish to enact political retribution, then we are no longer a free constitutional democracy. Likewise, the District Attorney’s office has been going after me for years based on a lying, discredited low life, who was not listened to or given credibility by other prosecutorial offices, and sentenced to 3 years in prison for lying and other events unrelated to me. These investigations have also been going on for years with members and associates of the Trump Organization being viciously attacked, harassed, and threatened, in order to say anything bad about the 45th President of the United States. This would include having to make up false stories. Numerous documents, all prepared by large and prestigious law and accounting firms, have been examined, and many hours of testimony have been taken from many people, some of whom I have not seen in years. These Democrat offices are consumed with this political and partisan Witch Hunt at a time when crime is up big in New York City, shootings are up 97%, murders are up 45%, a rate not seen in 40 years, drugs and criminals are pouring into our Country in record numbers from our now unprotected Southern Border, and people are fleeing New York for other much safer locations to live. But the District Attorney and Attorney General are possessed, at an unprecedented level, with destroying the political fortunes of President Donald J. Trump and the almost 75 million people who voted for him, by far the highest number ever received by a sitting President. That is what these investigations are all about—a continuation of the greatest political Witch Hunt in the history of the United States. Working in conjunction with Washington, these Democrats want to silence and cancel millions of voters because they don’t want “Trump” to run again. As people are being killed on the sidewalks of New York at an unprecedented rate, as drugs and crime of all kinds are flowing through New York City at record levels, with absolutely nothing being done about it, all they care about is taking down Trump. Our movement, which started with the Great Election Win of 2016, is perhaps the biggest and most powerful in the history of our Country. But the Democrats want to cancel the Make America Great Again movement, not by Making America First, but by Making America Last. No President has been treated the way I have. With all of the crime and corruption you read about with others, nothing happens, they only go after Donald Trump. After prosecutorial efforts the likes of which nobody has ever seen before, they failed to stop me in Washington, so they turned it over to New York to do their dirty work. This is what I have been going through for years. It’s a very sad and dangerous tale for our Country, but it is what it is, and we will overcome together. I have built a great company, employed thousands of people, and all I do is get unfairly attacked and abused by a corrupt political system. It would be so wonderful if the effort used against President Donald J. Trump, who lowered taxes and regulations, rebuilt our military, took care of our Veterans, created Space Force, fixed our border, produced our vaccine in record-setting time (years ahead of what was anticipated), and made our Country great and respected again, and so much more, would be focused on the ever more dangerous sidewalks and streets of New York. If these prosecutors focused on real issues, crime would be obliterated, and New York would be great and free again!

Not sure what all that is. I am conservative and Trump was useful at one point but is becoming a liability now. All I can remember is us getting our a$$es handed to us all throughout his presidency such as the VA and NJ gubernatorial races in 2017, the AL special election, the 2018 midterms, the 2019 LA and and KY gubernatorial elections...it never ended! We were losing in red states!

Clutch those pearls!!!!

MAGA is the most Conservative moment in my lifetime..

And those 4 years of MAGA was a breath of fresh air after Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama

And these 4 years of MAGA would have put an end to the deep state Rs and D’s..

And these two years of coup is exactly the look and feel of the SOP years of the Deep State shell game of R vs D..but now we can compare them to MAGA.

Amazing the power of MAGA.
Put the Bushes, Clinton’s and Cheney’s out to pasture..two of those families once claimed to be ‘conservative’ too

Bless your deep state heart.

Have fun watching Trump Make America Great Again!

You must love losing elections, getting impeached (yes i know it was bs), seeing conservatives get arrested for petty process crimes, seeing a pandemic rip through the country. Not all of the was trumps fault but objectively, it was a horrible 4 years for pretty much everyone!

I’m literally debating twelve people at one time and holding my own.

Sure you are. You are losing badly, the fact you don't see it is a testament to your skills.

So every single one of these judges now side with the left?

They did so there is that. It is not gibberish that no court would allow proof to even be entered into a court record should tell you something but apparently it doesn't.

We need to move on from Trump. He is not a smart man (anymore) and he has zero understanding of politics. He did well by us when he was in office but he is way too old now! DeSantis will take the baton and he is liked by way more people. He will win the popular vote as well as the electoral vote in 2024 i predict!

So you want the guy that polls at 70% to step aside for the guy that polls 30% (that’s generous)? Now that’s the definition of stupid!

You can’t seriously think the Left is going to let DeSantis run unscathed? They will treat him just as y as they do Trump.

I think DeSantis holds his own against these jackaals just fine. He knows what to say, how to sayit and when to say it. Trump does not quite frankly.

You never heard of trolling

And now all the idiot mainstreams are having to talk about the stolen election and a nod to the corruption of the Biden’s (by bringing up the fired FBI agent and why he got walked out).

It’s a twofer! Way to go Trump!
