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:

Good luck with that side note. You sound as though you still underestimate the evilness of what we are up against.

You put all of you hopes on the Supreme Court. That is not a good thing. All of the government works at the behest of the people. THAT is where the answer lies.

You never heard of trolling? Have you forgotten how he managed to force the lamestreams to feature his policy statements by firing off a zinger like this now and then?

Well said! The knuckledraggers on here do not get it. They also think its ok for their candidate to wear a confederate uniform in a union state (when noone else in the ohoto wore CW garb)! The right can only win when we present intelligent, well thought out ideas at ALL TIMES! Trump says about 2 stupid things to every 3 intelligent rational statements and its getting worse. Its not healthy to have a presidential candidate running with axes to grind!

According to our constitution, once a President is sworn into office, the only way to remove him is via impeachment or the 25th amendment. And then once removed, the order of succession is very clear, and President Trump is not in it.

Our Constitution was designed for a moral and God-fearing populace. For the issue at hand, the Declaration of Independence is a better guide.

Trump hatred is so unbecoming, especially here on FR — where it’s like a fart in an elevator.

Trump believes that the law must be logically consistent. If, as we now know, the 2020 election process was a sham and did not follow the laws of several of the swing states, the determination of President must be done by other means.

This may take actions by the US Congress with the filing of SCOTUS cases or other means, but we never simply vest the power of the Presidency in someone who benefited from an illegal process. Otherwise, we don’t have a nation of laws, but only a nation of men like all the failed tyrannies of the past.

I do not. My greatest fear is that the 2020 voter fraud will become institutionalized, giving us disastrous one-party rule forever.

A free press was built into the First Amendment as a check against that. But as we all know, we no longer have a free press. Now they censor themselves to cover for Biden and the Democrats.

> All of the government works at the behest of the people. <

I agree. Someone else mentioned impeachment as an option to combat a fraudulent election. That’s true, and it’s something I neglected to think about. But what do you do when a good portion of the people (and their representatives) are okay with probable fraud? Then the only possible relief can come from the courts.

Well, there is another possible relief: some sort of civil war. But we are far, far from that.

Yes, President Trump should be sworn in or at the least the election should be immediately reeled with strict guidelines.

That is not something that can occur, and you know it. So why say it?

“Is he “batshit crazy” as the article suggests?”

No. He’s right.

Next question.

I think so too. Trump is fighting fire with fire. He is outcrazying the commie dems. Might as well have a little fun with the deliberate bat shite crazy followers of those anti Americans who stole the Trump election. Nothing being done about the treason that is determined to destroy this Republic.

The hatred is widespread. I loved Trump when he first ran but as time goes on, I see that his dumb statements do more harm than good and prove his opponents correct. They are unforced errors, and happen because he is a narcissist that cannot control himself! If he runs, Biden will get 100 million votes because people hate Trump that much! He’s good for ginning up enthusiam on the right, but that should be his role...with someone like DeSantis as the actual candidate!

No, and how dare you even make that statement.

Trump knows there will not be a special election. Trump knows he will not be installed now.

What he is doing, is keeping the issue of proven voter fraud fresh in people's minds.

“Batsh*t crazy” is finding a laptop proving Joe Biden’s corruption (and his son’s felony conduct and perversions), then the FBI suppressing the information just prior to an election.

Where did ignoring Hussien's fake birth certificate get us?

They won't stop, we shouldn't either.

Their agenda is working. And you go along with it.

No matter what Trump says or does, they have the same agenda.

Their goal is to silence Trump and you are helping them.

Problem is, maybe the majority are not for voter fraud. The media says they are. We already know 81 million people didn’t vote for that fool Biden. And if they did, maybe they were old style RATs who sure didn’t vote for this horror story they are starring in since Joey stole the election. The bastard even admitted they had the best cheat machine ever. Why that soundbyte isn’t played all day everyday is beyond me.

No...Trump is helping them by playing into it! They know his weakness and exploit it time and time again! Trump did best when he was not posting on social media at all (after his Twitter ban) and we were looking to have a red wave. The other side is energized now, and large part because Trump’s remarks remain a bigger story than the failed administration in office!

He also picked some seriously flawed candidates this time around. I support all of them even with $$$, but Collins or Loeffler would be 2-5 pts ahead of Warnock in GA at least and Walker will be lucky to get within 5 on election night!
