'We won every state': Trump ramps up his 2020 US election lies against Biden ahead of New York court appearance
“ I don’t get it. They say I lost but I won the most states. All the states, 53 in all. The greatest victory ever and they stole it from me, from you. The greatest victory by the greatest president!”
ChatGPT hallucinates less than Trump.
Neurosyphilis is wild
I wonder if that might sound better if he said it as, "I don't get it. They say I won, but I lost the most states. All the states, 53 in all. The greatest loss ever and they haven't stole it from me, from you. The greatest loss by the lousiest president!"
Whenever Trump utters a new completely bogus lie, I don’t think about him at all. Instead I think about his voters and wonder if there is any falsehood he could utter that would cause them to change their minds about him. It’s still hard for me to accept the idea that so many people think this is acceptable behavior in the final analysis. I know many Trump voters say that they don’t like Trump or approve of his lies, but they still claim he’s better than any Democrat due to his policies and strident action to support them. It really is a strong man appeal, and none of them seem to be able to see how letting this become the new precedent for their party will damage not just the Republican platform in the long run but the entire American political system.
I can see a future in which Gen Z or their children elect a similarly unhinged president who tries to ban organized religion or selectively deny federal funding to red states or some other nonsense. When the shoe is on the other foot, oh the cries of injustice these same Trumpers will make.
We are all so fucked. Glad my life is already 50% over. Future generations have my condolences.

Exactly: the point of this kind of blatantly outrageous lie isn't actually to try to convince anybody of anything; it's to act as a fascist purity test. The goal is to force everyone either to sink deeper into the cult of personality by knowingly accepting and thus sharing in the lie, which introduces even more cognitive dissonance and makes it that much harder for them to break free in the future, or to out themselves as an enemy so that they can be purged.
...president who tries to ban organized religion or selectively deny federal funding to red states...
Now this is a platform I can support!

“Hillary Clinton is actually a good person.”
LOL, fair point.
Somehow there are people who don't feel like Trump is insulting their intelligence with the whoppers he tells.
In your dreams, Donnie.
Like…it’s been fuckin YEARS you pathetic sad sack. No one gives a fuck anymore. Even his own supporters aren’t as gung ho because…it’s been fuckin years. It’s hard to get people excited to vote for you when you won’t shut the fuck up about the election four goddamn years ago.
Truth doesn’t matter. Truth is their enemy.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA from a state that Republicans never win
Considering he knew exactly how many votes he needed to win Georgia, couldn't this be used against him in court?
I wonder at which point of his ridiculous lies Republican voters will (secretly?) clue in.
no need to waste brain cycles wondering.
they won't.
If they're not using their brains, why would I waste mine?
Rejecting reality in favor of their leader's claims, no matter how ridiculous, is how fascist prove their loyalty.
I'd like to point out that even Ronald Fucking Reagan didn't win all 50 against Mondale. He lost Minnesota.
"Reagan won a landslide re-election victory, carrying 525 electoral votes, 49 states, and 58.8 percent of the popular vote. Mondale won 13 electoral votes from the District of Columbia, which has always voted overwhelming for the Democratic candidate, and his home state of Minnesota by a 0.18% margin."
He won every state as long as you don't count all of the states he lost.
Obviously those aren't real Americans.
Interesting how politicians can say absolutely whatever they want even if that undermines the integrity of the country they want to rule over
could someone [in the court process] request a mental evaluation to determine if he is even competent to be found guilty? hes clearly off his rocker, and a potential danger to himself and others!
i was really just thinking it would be funny if the prosecutors called for this at every one of his trials, just to make him lose his mind.
I'm pretty sure that the most we can hope for is house arrest. The courts won't want a former president getting stabbed in the showers, being bullied into giving up national secrets or the bureaucratic mess of him having a security detail inside, as fitting as any of that would be.
They already did that and he passed it with flying colors! "Person, woman, man, camera, TV."
This will happen if sentencing involves jail time.
Fucking delusional.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump has claimed that he won all 50 states in the 2020 US election at a Florida event where two of his rivals for the Republican presidential primaries were booed for suggesting the party should dump the former president before his legal woes catch up with him.
He is set to testify on Monday at his New York civil fraud trial, related to his business dealings in the state, after two of his children took to the witness stand last week.
Earlier in the evening, former state governors Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie urged the party to move past Mr Trump — ahead of the latter's criminal and civil trials — to boost its chances of winning the 2024 election.
Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a one-time friend and advisor who has become Mr Trump's most vocal Republican critic, having broken with the ex-TV reality star after the 2020 election, was also booed by the audience and heckled as a "loser" and a "traitor".
Florida will also be the venue for the third presidential debate in Miami on Wednesday, which Mr Trump is again expected to skip, holding his own, alternative event.
The state's governor, Ron DeSantis, who is considered Mr Trump's closest challenger but with a meagre 14 per cent support, failed to land a punch on the man who once endorsed him but has since become a political enemy.
The original article contains 802 words, the summary contains 226 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Disclaimer: I am not a Trumper but I also don't like out of context propaganda. Let him lose on his own merits because he will.
Where is the rest of the context on this? To me it sounds like he's saying "we won all 50 states, then we did well in the election". It sounds to me like he might be talking about winning all 50 states in the primaries. Which he did.
Now, the idea that he won the election by 12 million votes is obviously a load of shit. Maybe he's rambling in circles as always and meant to say that he won the primaries by a total of 12 million votes?
He's said this before. He literally thinks that he won in every state (even solid blue ones like New York and California), but that the Democrats rigged the election to make him lose.
That’s the thing about trump, nobody knows what the fuck he’s talking about including trump
Trump did not win all 50 states in the GOP primaries. In 2016. Cruz won Texas and a handful of other Midwestern and non-coastal western states; Kasich won his home state of Ohio, and Marco Rubio won in Minnesota.
In 2020, in some states, the GOP didn't even bother holding primaries or caucuses. States like Kansas, Nevada, SC, cancelled public voting in primaries and caucuses after the RNC pledged its undivided support to Trump in back February of that year. So Trump didn't really "win" primaries in "all 50 states" in 2020 either, because primaries were not held in all 50 states.
Maybe he meant that or maybe his big lie is getting so big that he's jumped the shark. Either way, Trump should learn how to share a coherent thought if he's going to run his fucking mouth 24/7. It's not our job to figure out how to decode his demented ramblings.
Is this literally the first thing you've ever heard Trump say or something?
Have you read the article?
Every time Trump opens his gob and lets out a brain fart, someone has to come out and say it actually wasn't a fart at all but instead the seat leather.
The guy's a fucking narcissistic moron who wants to convince himself by convincing everyone else that he didn't lose to Joe fucking Biden in 2020. Which he did. Bigly, in fact.
It is insane to think that someone won in a 100%, simple as that, that is the context.
Just to get a feeling of how fucking dumb I think you are if you actually stand behind this dumbass.
You think that’s a great choice to lead anything? It’s not even funny to make fun of you, because you are literally mentally handicapped.
I would bet my actual life that asshole didn’t win Massachusetts.
Lol, yeah. Safe bet.

Same here in NY - although the rural areas of NY are extremely Trumpy and red.
I assume Trump has zero grasp of metric distances, so he might think 1000km is close.
