Trump tells us how it goes
There will be “bedlam” in the US if criminal cases deny Donald Trump a White House return, said the former president who incited the deadly January 6 attack on Congress but who is the clear frontrunner for the Republican nomination this year.
Why will there be bedlam? Because Donald Dictator will foment it.
“I think they feel this is the way they’re going to try and win, and that’s not the way it goes,” Trump told reporters, referring to Joe Biden and Democrats, after a court hearing in Washington DC on Tuesday.
Hey, you know what’s not the way it goes? A guy who loses an election sending an armed mob to attack the government, that’s what.
A reporter asked: “You just used the word ‘bedlam’. Will you tell your supporters now, ‘No matter what, no violence’?”
Trump walked away.
Of course he did.
His prediction of “bedlam” stoked widespread alarm.
Maya Wiley, chief executive of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, alluded to Republican endorsements of Trump when she said his “warnings” were “heard by too many as calls to action. Every Republican should come forward and repeat these simple and unequivocal words: ‘Political violence is never acceptable … it has no place in the democracy. None.’ This isn’t a game.”
Tim O’Brien of Bloomberg News, a longtime Trump-watcher, recapped [the] remarks in court and added just one word: “Fascism”.
Fascism and bedlam.
Today’s episode of the Daily featured two farmers in Iowa arguing over who to support in the upcoming 2024 republican caucus. One of them voted for Trump the first time because he seemed to understand how trade with China was hurting Iowa farmers, but realized that Trump didn’t understand it either because tariffs can go both ways. Who could have figured that one out? Now he’s for DeSantis because DeSantis didn’t pretend he knows it all when it comes to farming and asked questions rather then rattle on about his own policies. That makes good sense. But his buddy kept on insisting that Trump is not a politician, that he’s a man of the people yada yada yada and his proof was that the politicians were prosecuting him and trying to keep him off the ballot because they hate him.
Not a politician. Even when the reporters pointed out how Trump is the one pulling all of the strings of the GOP he wouldn’t budge. The first guy says he thinks Trump is wrong, divisive and bad for the country, but he’s NOT BIDEN!
