Speaking at a campaign event in Iowa, Trump said it was important to scrutinize the vote in the battleground states likely to determine the general election. He singled out the biggest cities in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

"So the most important part of what's coming up is to guard the vote. And you should go into Detroit and you should go into Philadelphia and you should go into some of these places, Atlanta," Trump said in Ankeny, a suburb of Des Moines.

Trump's comments foreshadow what is likely to be a contentious election in November 2024. Despite the failure of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies challenging the outcome in 2020, Trump continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost to U.S. President Joe Biden due to fraud.

Facing 91 charges, he will, without a doubt, be in jail. There will be enough confusion to split the Republican vote, or the MAGA crowd may stay home entirely. Don’t fall for the hopium he is peddling, it’s his only way to cope with losing everything he owns.

Don't assume he can't win. Vote like democracy depends on it because if he wins our country loses.

[–] twisted28@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I will be, everyone I know votes. I’m not saying don’t vote

Trump can't possibly win

Hang on, I think I've heard this one before...

Trump will never see the inside of a jail cell. FFS, he was immune to prosecution while he was president. I'm sure somehow he's immune to incarceration as an ex-president.

Goodwill spent

Not by election day, 0% chance. The only Federal case expected to wrap and sentence by that time is the Jan 6 case, and he'll appeal that to federal appeals court and again to Supreme Court. Documents case doesn't even start until August. State cases are yielding to the federal case schedules.

From your lips to God's ear but until we get there I'm not stopping.. This fucking monster will absolutely destroy the country like every business he's ever touched.
