    I figure at least half or two thirds of those would've died anyway regardless of what the president did

    Can someone explain to me whether a Trump coup means a coup against Trump, or a coup by Trump against his congressional adversaries - who are really committing treason. I mean I would certainly want Trump to help us get rid of such as Pelosi, Schumer, and this one here:

    But you all know that I'm insane,

    for simple reasoning proves me wrong.
    So shouldn't I be where I belong?

    You would want Trump to accept the election results, even if fraud was committed by the Democrats on a massive scale? Of course you would.

    Yeah, you keep pushing that deaths caused by a virus is Trumps fault while you ignore everything else. We'll see how it goes for ya. ;)

    Only Trump knows to what extent his crimes might lead to jail.
    But you can imagine how bad it is, if he is forced to hide from the law in the Presidency.

    But this is an old story. From day one, tweet after tweet, Trump kept calling the 2020 election rigged and this he will use as an excuse not to leave.

    What else can you expect from a criminal?

    No, we can not do that. Yet.

    But the mere fact that Trump already hesitates to accept a possible election defeat tells us enough.
    Who would vote for a President who, before a vote, suggests he might not respect the outcome of that vote?

    To do so would be supporting a coup d'etat.

    Banana Republic territory.

    Any deaths over about 3000 are Trump's fault as much as any virus. Anyone saying different is totally ignoring the facts in favor of a totality of lies and delusions.

    Anyone saying that he is responsible for deaths because of a virus does not understand science period.

    Blaming Trump is the lie we are denouncing.

    I am not worried about the President. He is fine enough and doing a good job. The craziness, the threats, underhandedness, violence and all out assault on our society, on Democracy, our way of life and America itself is coming from the Democrat party, their state media, and their shock troops rioting in the streets. They have gone from shock and disbelief at losing the 2016 election to fanatical lawless rage because they cannot win at anything. They have pulled out the stops and blotted out reason. And all the while, Republicans are behaved. So it is ludicrous for Democrats or anybody to suggest that President Trump and Republicans are crazy, dangerous and threatening.

    It is fine for an opinion, but not enough for a fact.

    The only place this rhetoric belongs is on Trump's Twitter page.
    He has taught you well.

    Will you follow him to the dark side when he refuses to concede his election defeat?

    He won't be bothered with that this year. The real question is are Democrats going to try to evict him after another close EC victory?

    I couldn't have said it better myself. Its like watching children throw a temper tantrum because they couldn't eat cookies for dinner and stay up past their bedtimes. When spying didn't work they tried a hoax and investigations, when investigations didn't work they tried impeachment, when impeachment didnt work they really didn't have anything left except for social unrest and violence and that is where we currently are. The left is trying to dismantle law and order right in front of our eyes and they are using race as an excuse to do it. When Trump gets re-elected I wonder if they are going to start executing people in the streets because they are unhappy. The left has gone completely nuts.

    If Trump wins he no longer needs to be re-elected. A Trump that no longer needs to be re-elected is probably even more dangerous for democracy than an electable one.
    So, if he goes all totalitarian, he might well have to be removed.

    And yes, I think Trump might well be re-elected AND re take house and senate.

    A tragedy never happens in one act.

    I don't use twitter. I watch the major networks and cable channels. Then I make up my own mind.

    Really according to this it is since Regan. Same happened in the UK with Thatcher though we do still have a voice every 4 or 5 years. Of course some people have questioned whether the US ever was a Democracy but I do not think it can be said it is one any more. I think one obvious clue was that in your June elections where there were previously almost 4,000 Polling booths there were only 200. In one place apparently three quarters of a million people had to queue for over 8 hours in order to vote. Whether even then you could get 750,000 in in a day I do not know but it was impossible for many people who needed to work. There is more than one way to take away your vote and this video like others suggests the US is no longer a Democracy.



    I had thought with the polls it would be impossible for Trump to be re-elected but with all this going on...who knows.

    Virus's pop up, sicken some and kill some. Researchers study it and develop vaccines. The virus's go away and return. We are inoculated and fold the virus into our daily lives and march on. Whoever is the President is pretty much irrelevant as it is mostly a matter of science and medicine. Trump helped a great deal with his early quarantines and travel bans. As well as pushing and negotiating the mass production of PPE and Ventilators. And calling for the temporary shut down of the economy with stimulus payments for the populations to help offset the financial burden from the shutdown. He has also cut funding to the WHO because they helped China cover up the seriousness of the virus. So from my perspective, Trump has used the power of the Presidency to move the ball a great deal forward while at the same time balancing respect for states rights and individual rights. The left in America nowadays is more interested in injuring the President than keeping things in perspective. It is all they can see. They are obsessed.
