IMHO Trump posted it as a way to rope-a-dope the Dims into becoming loud free speech advocates...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I highly suspect that PDJT listened to the crickets of the LSM after the Twitter ‘Hunter Bye-Done messages’ became public and said, “hmmmm.....I’m going to drag you out into the open to force you to talk about this.”
I think his statement was brilliant actually....
I agree. Now where’s this evidence of where the cheating changed the outcome.
Sam, you are so right! I believe Trump should get on twitter just like in the beginning. That is how I discovered the power of social media. In one tweet, he can correct the record, immediately, to correct the fake news. Truth Social is only read by his own followers. And among them, many do not read there.
Trump had nothing to do with it.
A HOLES TELLING PEOPLE WHAT THEY DIDNT READ
What Trump still fails to understand is that the Jan 6-7 process by Congress is the final review of the Election for the top 2 offices of Article 2 for the 4 year period that starts January 20th and ends 4 years later. If this Jan 6-7 process takes longer than January 20th in both Houses then its the Speaker who functions as Acting President until one of the Houses makes a decision and if no Speaker has yet been elected then its the President Pro Tem of the Senate and if this office is vacant then the agencies all continue to function as the laws governing their existence specify, which means oversight by Congress. What will most likely cause the vacancy to be filled quickly will be the tensions for power between the Houses of Congress. The desire of the House to not just let some powerful network of Senators walk all over them in getting some Cabinet installed will encourage the House to at least pick a Speaker if not the President from their 3 options and end the Jan 6 process. AAnd the same sort of inertia will be on the Senate to get a President Pro Tem or to finalize the VP selection process with the 2 options they have & to break their tie. So, in 1 week we could have 2 different Presidents, a time of no President, and 3 different Acting Presidents. But overall continuity of the federal agencies still running would continue as long as they still have appropriations unspent and the Debt Ceiling not breached. Running out of fiscal authority could also be solved too by the States being able to function without Big Brother and people starting to realize that the federal level has a lot of waste in it. On that latter it would be a motivator for the House to act and break their deadlock and at least to elect a Speaker to function as Acting President.
Trump’s ideas on redo are anti-Constitutional and they ignore the reality that there are numerous offices and that winning the Presidency involves also winning enough offices in Congress and at the State/Local levels to ensure that the Elections have integrity. If you don’t like the final decision then you have to look forward to the next Elections and get those offices filled by good honest people.
The January 6th process is not a permanent decision. Its just for a 4 year time period. And then the next 4 year period will begin. That’s how the Rule of Law works with the Constitutional system of checks and balances. Imo its much better than what Germany had in the early 1930s or Russia had in the early 2000s and what many countries have today. The US Constitution makes it very hard for a Dictator to come to power and then to keep that power for long.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t preclude that risk from happening. For example, JRBJ has done many things by decree that should make everyone shudder. But at best for his vision due to his old age he will only be able to establish an Oligarchy that could last a while that could conceivably become like the CCP. They could actually succeed on this early next month with a very small handful of Liz Cheney types by getting Hakeem Jeffries elected as Speaker. That would buy them another 21 months time to shore up 270 EVs, 218 House seats, and 50 Senate seats to further cement their hold on power.
The best way now to stop this group from setting up their CCP style of endless rule will be to make sure their total control doesn’t continue so long. It starts by making the House be a body of real oversight that ensures fairness, instead of being the puppet of the Oligarchs on their March towards absolute power.
As of today, 4.7 million followers on Truth.
Nearly 88 million followers on Twitter.
Not even close.

This reminds me of the false claim about Trump wanting to inject bleach into Covid patients.
When I read it and if anyone takes the time to read what Trump said, it was obvious he was referring to the fact that since the election was stolen and corrupt, that it didn’t follow the Constitutional processes for certifying a legitimate election and thus should be disallowed. Unfortunately, Trump tweets crap and he still hasn’t learned that after 8 years they are still looking for every reason to de-legitimize him. This time though his party is also brazenly looking to cast him aside. I don’t know why he continues to make it easy for them.
Lets all remember that Trump never does anything without a reason.
The solution cannot come within the system, because there is no longer a "system". Just ruling class institutions (not just in government) run on the principles of power politics. By degenerates.
I’m going to go against the grain of Trump-veneration, and ask how many actually read his posts?
After readng one of Trump’s posts three times, I concluded that he was trying to say that Biden and the Democrats had “terminated the Constitution” by cheating, using the FBI and DHS to destroy push very false narratives and crush free speech in a wy that changed the outcome of the 2020 election. Trump wasn’t saying that HE wanted to terminate the Constitution. But he certainly seems to imply that since the Dems already wrecked the Constitution, then unconstitutional measures to redress the harm were appropriate. That might be “fair” enough, but is a slippery slope that a political system cannot survive.
Yes, the media will twist anything Trump says into a stick to beat him with. But why does he make it so easy with such ambiguous statements? It would have been great for Trump to make a clear statement that Musk’s revelations prove 100% that Biden and the Dems stole the election by grossly violating the Constitution, and should be held accountable for that. Instead he put himself in a hole and has to dig his way out. He gave the Dems a perfect distraction from the Twitter/Tech scandal. Not smart.
