The Donald Trump thread

[lardy]

Just using Trump's own words, this seems to be the plan to 'win' the presidency.

Claim victory on election night as he is probably going to be ahead on in person voting, before the postal votes are counted. And the quick snatch of a supreme court judge, in complete opposition to what numerous big cheese republicans have said on the matter in the past four years, is crucial to that. Trump's own words. He's not hiding the strategy.

The base case now is Trump loses popular vote, falsely challenges legitimacy of key votes and wins reelection via partisan Supreme Court. That is the most likely scenario now. Not a stretch. Probable, barring some extreme actions. https://t.co/nDeDMURlOk

The tweet didn't load well, but these are Trump's words:

“We're going to have a victory on November 3rd the likes of which you've never seen,” Trump told a rally in Fayetteville, N.C. “Now, we're counting on the federal court system to make it so that we can actually have an evening where we know who wins. Not where the votes are going to be counted a week later or two weeks later.”
