Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who faces federal and state charges for allegedly trying to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden, insists he had “every right” to interfere in the election.
“Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it?” Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired on Sunday.
A federal indictment accuses Trump of defrauding the United States by preventing Congress from certifying Biden’s victory and depriving voters of their right to a fair election. He faced a revised federal indictment last month accusing him of illegally trying to overturn his 2020 election loss.
Trump faces similar charges in Fulton County, Georgia, where he was also charged with racketeering, which is used to target members of organized crime groups and carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
Cool. Then Thomas Crooks had every right to try to blow Trump’s brains out.
And he has every right to rot in jail
So he’s just blatantly admitting it now, huh?
Why wouldn’t he after being told he was allowed to do it by Supreme Court?
It must be incredibly exhausting lying all the time. The truth is easier
It’s exhausting he never sees the consequences of it.
Well half the country either doesn’t give a shit that he’s doing it or are straight up happy about it. It’s literally like watching Hitler rise to power.
When Trump won in 2016, it was only with about 27% of the votes from eligible voters across the country.
A lot of people don’t vote
So they don’t give a shit that he’s doing it.
lol ok fine
It’s only exhausting if you’re trying to avoid getting caught in your lies. Trump doesn’t care who knows he’s lying.
Hey, FBI? Look! Over here. He’s doing it again.
Well, at least he’s learnt his lesson and been suitably punished so he’s definitely not going to do anything like that again.
Probably not really needed but /s…
Fuck Susan Collins
Ew.
Agreed. But even metaphorically, ew.
Confession before his next guilty conviction.
“Your honor, I’d like to introduce into evidence Prosecutions Exhibit A, where the Defendant willfully admitted his crimes live on stage in front of hundreds of people.”
“Russia, if you’re listening…” he can say whatever he wants, no one cares. They’d rather complain about Kamala flip-flopping, which makes sense that she would change her stances to gather more support… or that she’s just a continuation of the current administration.
Is it not interference just by announcing my candidacy? Is it not interference to just exist? There are only two states of being. Black and white. On and off. Ones and zeros. We either accept all things are interference or nothing is. I mean unless it’s democrats and then it’s definitely interference and must be stopped at all cost because socialism. ;)
Infallible logic. Have you considered becoming president?
…and if I did, it wasn’t wrong.
No, he’s not that smooth. It’s “and when I did” from the very beginning
When you’re a dictator, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the polls. You can do anything.

Actually, “they” don’t. Unless you have a really firm grip of the country, “they” will kill and replace you faster than Trump takes a dump.
Doesn’t the SCOTUS agree with him? Or did I misunderstand those clowns?
It seems he is claiming he interfered with the election as an official action, so it checks out…
Except… the executive branch has no role in elections. It cannot be an official action.
Sure it can, you just need to buy yourself a few Supreme Court Justices. They go cheap these days!
Anything you say can, and will, be used against you.
if only 😐
Well there you go, bake him away toys!
Jack Smith:
Maybe we shouldn’t let him get away with everything he does.
He’s trying to frame this as an official presidential Act. Basically he’s trying to go through the door of the Supreme Court opened for him.
