'American Dictator': Trump Co-Author On His 'Serious Threat To Democracy' With Illegal Election Plot

89 comments

  1. Trump’s campaign so far:

    “Only I can save America from the fear mongering, hate, racism, lies, deaths, violence, destroyed economy and ignorance, that I caused…”

    1. William H Music 2020 if you honestly think it is going to be a landslide? You my friend are smoking something. I am for neither party but i know it is going to be close. Are you paying attention to what is happening in our Country? Everytime something happens in these cities Your buddy Trump gets on Twitter and says moronic things that makes people more angry. All those people are going to vote Biden and Trump keeps on making the same mistake. Trump will be lucky if he wins. He is his own worst enemy

    2. @Indi Pillai your lefty “peaceful protesters” have caused $2 billion worth of damage, looted, murdered, attacked, committed arson, terrorised, while your Democrats have stood back and applauded them.

    3. @Indi Pillai also presumably you understand that the state governors manage the pandemic in their area, not the Trump Administration. How many have the Democrats killed so far?

  2. Trump: “If there is democracy, I will lose this election. And, if there is the rule of law, I will go to prison. Therefore, I must destroy them both.”

    1. @Dawn Santi
      RELEASE THE MOSCOW HOOKERS PEE PEE TAPES COMRADES 😁👍 Americans prefer presidents who don’t get peed on

    1. All commies have a lot in common they love communsm money control and human trafficting and sniffing like joe and want taxes to go way up .

    2. @vote red Trump 2020 wake up boy. Have you forgot to take your medication. China is now a very peaceful country, if you’ve money go and see for yourself. But buy your medication first.

  3. *IMPORTANT:* *_If you are a Biden voter, you MUST vote in person._* Trump’s campaign WILL use republican state legislators to disenfranchise every mail in ballot. *_AGAIN, if you are a Biden voter, you MUST vote in person._*

  4. So disposing of a dictator is wrong? This country never has had and never will have a dictator, be it Trump in his delusional mind or anyone else for that matter. However, another 4 years of Trump and this nation we call home, will cease to exist.

    1. Trump isn’t a dictator and will never be a dictator.
      Trump said he will accept the results of the election, IF HE WINS. Which is basically what the democrats did in 2016. Hillary lost so democrats PROTESTED, RIOTED, HARRASED (which they continue to do) and IMPEACHED the President.
      The democrats didn’t accept the election results, so why should the republicans?

  5. Trump has been compromised by Russian intelligence for over 20 years. He’s a Trojan horse and the best money Russia has ever spent.

    1. In a recent open letter 275 generals and admirals endorsed Trump and say democrats and msm are acting like domestic enemies using fascist tactics. Navy seals Eli Crane says msm is FOS and brainwashing people is what they are good at. Time to wake up.

    2. @Matt Thompson Little hands, little batch of generals…
      TODAY: Joe Biden endorsed, Trump excoriated by nearly 500 retired top military, national security officials

      The current president will ALWAYS have some top brass that support them, they are the CiC ffs.
      230 old retired duffs endorse Trump –
      “They are retired officers, many of whom left active duty decades ago,” he said. “Their views retain about as much salience as silent film actors bemoaning the discovery of sound. Accusing Democrats of being Marxists gives away the game. Comedy worthy of Charlie Chaplin!”

      Rank and file have been going soft on Trump since he pulled the bully move on peaceful protestors in front of the church. He is highly despised

  6. THERE IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY. DR. MARY TRUMP SAID: “MY UNCLE IS A VERY DANGEROUS MAN.” WE ARE ALL IN DEEP DANGER IN THE USA. VOTE.

    1. Whether he loses by one vote or 100 million votes he will contest the results. In his feeble mind he can’t lose.

  7. He and his minions have turned this country into a mutated freakshow. Putin has gotten more bang for the buck in reaping chaos through this clown than any other Russian leader in history.

    1. All of Europe sits waiting & watching Nov 3rd .
      They know how stupid illinformed & confused the overall American Voter really is , So they have planed for the worst .
      To go it alone in the world
      But they PRAY
      we come to our sences & again join them in the REALITY WORLD 😂 .
      Let’s us hope thier & OUR Prayers are all answered .
      VOTE PATRIOT
      VOTE BIDEN !!!

    1. Trump was impeached. But russian moscow mitch and traitors grassley and Johnson and the rest of the cowardly repubs who wouldnt convict even tho he was guilty.

  8. The truth and the cat are out of the bag now! Trump is desperate and doesn’t give a $hit 💩!! 😕😠😡

    1. @Patriot Bassist J
      Yall ignorant GOP racists and traitors need education and mental health care not guns and walls
      ANYONE BUT THE PUSS GRABBER 2K20

    2. @UC6pdkOd3SzHbw323H_gi-9w
      The poorest uneducated GOP racists and traitors come from shithole redstates that collect half their budgets from blue donor states FACTS magat

    1. @Tom Nicholson You mean like what Biden is about to face for his dealings with Russia? Yall keep spewing the same garbage!

    2. “Trying to sow doubt “ uhhh I believe the Democrats did that themselves when they rigged their own primaries, TWICE! Also, it’s been proven that mail in voting in local elections are full of fraudulent ballots and yet we’re supposed to believe that this national election won’t be? Get bent.

    3. @Dallas Bridgwater Most of the free world wants to see Trump gone there isn’t a decent bone(spur) in his entire body. LOCK HIM UP.
