Trump moves to overthrow the government
Oh god, Trump is giving a speech, a coup-preparing lying violence-inciting nation-undermining speech.
Trump begins by lying that "if you count the legal votes, I easily win." Absolute garbage.

There is no basis for Trump's regular claims that polls were deliberately inaccurate "suppression polls" designed to deflate his supporters. The wrong polls are just wrong.

There is no basis for Trump's suggestion there's something nefarious or "miraculous" about him losing his lead in various states.
The votes are being counted, the end.

Trump lies that mail-in voting is corrupt.

Trump lies that his opponents wait to see how many votes they need and then just "find" that number.
This is all anti-democratic trash.

Trump lies that he "won" Georgia by a lot on election night.
The votes have not been fully counted.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November 5, 2020
Trump lies that he "won the state" of Michigan and "did likewise" in Wisconsin.
This is just an absolutely appalling and anti-democratic series of lies.

Trump lies that unnamed people are trying to "steal" and "rig" the election.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November 5, 2020
Trump lies, "We can't have an election stolen like this."
What is there to say? This is just horrific.

"As you know, I've claimed certain states," Trump says, though his claims are entirely irrelevant.

He's desperate and flailing, yes, but these lies do incalculable damage. https://t.co/qNf9x0fbm4
