No American President Has Ever Suggested Delaying A General Election | MTP Daily | MSNBC
So, it’s unsafe to hold elections, but it’s perfectly safe to send your children to school? WTF? 🤪
Thank God
Remember – CDC issued warning for Doctors to beware of *Multi System Inflammatory Syndrome in Children* a COVID19-related illness, like toxic shock!
Pls *YouTube Search* this video for info on symptoms. | Watch “Trump: Ousted Vaccine Chief A ‘Disgruntled Employee’ | NBC Nightly News”
He voted by mail himself, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander .
@Diana Strong are you talking about Kawasaki disease??
MY CHILDREN WILL NOT BE POLITICAL SACRIFICES FOR TRASH LIKE trump!!
NOR ANYTHING ELSE!!
DONT SEND YOUR KIDS TO SCHOOL…LISTEN TO THE DR. FAUCI N THE SCIENTISTS!!
So, he says its safe for kids to go back to school, but its not safe to go out and vote….WOW !
Ok
Ok ain’t this man head on backwards.
i’m all for moving the election forward. i’m free tomorrow.
Just make sure you send your bombs to republicans.
ted kaczynski – Me too
💛I MISS THE HONORABLE PRESIDENT OBAMA AND FIRST LADY MICHELLE!!💛
You and me both Annie Warbux! Always felt comfortable w/his
decisions, his manner, their class as a couple! This buffoon now is illogical, embarrassing, criminal,
etc., etc., etc.!
I too miss when Obama was in office while he was dropping bombs on Middle Eastern children.
Actually, it’s out of Trump’s hands. He cannot change election day.
Seems to be the case Karen Lee-Benjamin! It will be a pleasure
to see him gone forever!
I don’t think his actual intention was to try to delay the election, but rather to get his supporters riled up about how “fraudulent” mail-in voting is. That way, when November comes around and Biden (most likely) wins, he can argue that the election was rigged with a “I told you so” sort of approach. To put a cherry on top of it all, he specifically adds question mark to the end of the tweet so he can argue that it was a joke or something along those lines. Of course, there’s still a chance that he genuinely wants to delay the election, which of course is a corrupt and un-American move.
You’re probably right. He and his groupies can contest and hold results up until the Supreme Court once again jumps in….that’s what it looks like to me, a replay of Florida and the Bush Jr. election.
America needs to Reset….Starting with getting rid of Trump.
@joe Domjan No but 90% of Trump supporters are…And he knows they are idiots who believe him
@Lucius Kiirus With what appears to be a limited amt.
of neurons firing, best u keep to your illogical, exceedingly simple thinking Ludicrous Kiirus!
and gop.
Take All of the Trump Scum Out to the dumpster Please dispose this hazardous waste !
@Lucius Kiirus your a low minded human. Your stupid period. Stupid people don’t live long.
No other American President knew he had multiple felony charges waiting for him on the day he left the White House.
When is Michael Cohen’s tell-all book coming out. I hope by September so we can see what type of crimes did Trump commit.
Sanders himself took heat for saying that even the Boston Marathon bomber should be able to vote
Democrats, soft on crime
Let felons in jail vote
Let people destroy property and burn businesses to the ground
The Mainstream Media is just a political tool.
We won’t get 2 sides of Any story.
And we won’t get a story not filled with Propaganda
The Media was so upset on Memorial Day weekend at all the beach goers, pool parties, etc
That it would spread COVID-19
A few days later the Riots started,
Looting, vandalism,
And burning businesses just trying to get on their feet
Most Democrats and Media approved and encouraged the Riots
No need to worry about COVID-19 any more
No problem with large gatherings any more
America decided COVID-19 must be over.
2 weeks after riots started, COVID-19 cases started to increase.
We are paying for the media and Democrats disregard for COVID-19 and disregard for our businesses and neighborhoods and cities.
I won’t forget nor forgive the Democrats for the Riots nor COVID-19
Our area only had 4 deaths and about 300 cases before the Riots
Now we are having over 200 cases Daily and we have hit 50 Deaths today.
And so now most businesses are Closed again and many in our rural area aren’t likely to recover.
I was 100% Democrats before the Riots
Now I would rather have ANYONE as long as they are Not a Democrat
I’m not about politics
I’m about COMMUNITY and People
About what is Good for America
Democrats are Not good for America
Children have been Killed by these riots.
8 yr old in Georgia,
A child in a fire because Rioters wouldn’t let a FIRE TRUCK,
People shot,
Buildings and Businesses looted and burned
And COVID-19 allowed to run rampant because of all the riots
George Floyd’s brother called for Peace not violence
But the Media and the Democrats didn’t join him
Instead they Helped Escalate
I will not forget what the Democrats have done to America And in the midst of a pandemic
I love America
No American President has ever had an intelligence of a 5 year old.
@Confederate Nationalist Anything goes in order to divide people…as Trump says, divide then conquer.
@Gail Hitson No that’s your great leader Xi.Unbelievably it’s working.The US is going Communist.
@Confederate Nationalist
This is not an administration its a Putin installed criminal enterprise folks
Never forget the dead SOLDIERS for BOUNTY and HELSINKI
@Confederate Nationalist You may join any communist country or group you choose. As for me and my house, we are Christian, US loving, Capitalists all the way.
@Indi Pillai But you’re happy with CCP and by implication Russian asset Biden instead.
You know the same Biden who wanted USN forces out of SCS.
So Russia acts true to form as a CCP ally.
I don’t hear those like you calling for reinstatement of the Cold War and tearing up SALT.
More like the opposite.
Who are you trying to fool Commy 50C army POS.
Trump said he would drain the swamp mission accomplished.
President Obama gets standing ovations, while President Clown gets laughed at. Trump is so unfit for office it is a joke.
@Keith Williams You are the reason marijuana should be illegal. How much junk.😵
@Derrick Allen Obama a real President? He was a food stamps President & a fairly tale.😂
@Indi Pillai Call your countrymen and ask them how they like Houston ,Texas a Democratic run city .
@Edgardo Rosa
Deport the chain migrating no English speaking nude model gold digger melanoma too, limit 1 import ho per citizen
@Edgardo Rosa
The poorest uneducated GOP racists and traitors come from shithole redstates that collect half their budgets from blue donor states FACTS magat
Trump is talking like he’s expecting to lose the election.
No surprise there. He’s probably been the worst President that any democracy has ever had. His incompetence, idleness and general dimwittedness has cost 150,000 American lives. That makes him 50 times more dangerous to American people than Al-Qa’ida ever were. He has destroyed the American economy by starting lockdown far too late and finishing it far too early. He knows he’s going to lose so he’s whining and making excuses which is par for the course because he’s always been a snowflake. Just a few more months now…..
Thirty-seven states, plus the District of Columbia, allow early voting by mail or in-person. The drum roll will start much sooner that 11/3. I cannot recall an election I was nearly as worried about. But, Trump and the radical right will lose. I know that because the alternative is unthinkable.
@waqaa Absolutely waqaa…thank you!
@waqaa 4 years ago the unthinkable was Trump being elected, so… I wouldn’t be so sure
“starting lockdown *that’s far too loose* far too late and finishing it far too early”
“No American President Has Ever Suggested Delaying A General Election” until now just as “No American President Has Ever Been Impeached During Their First Term” and just as “No American President Has Ever Been Proven Incompetent By A Tiny Virus.” May fellow American voters accordingly tell #ImPOTUS45 “You’re fired” on Nov 3rd by voting, either by mail or in person, for the exact opposite instead of more “Mourning in America.”
All trump voters can wait until November 17 if they like, but all real Americans will be voting November 3.

Donald Trump is the number one cause of fake news and ridiculous conspiracy theories. When he attacks others, it’s usually an obvious attempt to draw attention away from himself and those working for him, by claiming others are doing that of which he himself is guilty.
@s Because I value my humanity and believe that when I see a person, like yourself, that is in pain, ignorantly incorrect, and in need of a helping hand I try to do my best by paying it forward and helping that person. If you’ll accept then I will be there for you regardless of misguided ideals, disagreements, and seeing you make a bad choice that harms your well being and quality of life. You did have one good thing in your comment. “Don’t care who is president”, and I insert, “as long as it’s not Trump.” Now if you decline help from me then seek it out. You need help, nothings wrong with that, and you deserve better. Please hang in there. Trump has all but fired his self. I mean you can’t deny he’s self destructing. I do not want to see you or anyone meltdown with Trump. Remember, “Jesus is King”.
@Gail Hitson Your right. I know he’s becoming terrified of losing in November. I mean Trump is self destructing in front of the world. You know if you dig into Trump you’ll find that his dad made bank and Trump screwed up time and time again. All the losing and loss of his daddy’s money has made Trump a bitter orange hull of what might have been a man at one time.
In one tweet, Trump confirms yet again, his cowardly character and helpless ignorance.
Agree New Libertarian….your description of the fallen one is
perfect!
So because he doesn’t want to fight the virus he thinks he can delay an election? If you stand with Trump you stand with tyranny and ignorance and are not a patriotic American…
He knows he is going down so just another escape goat for himself. REMOVE HIM ASAP.
Finally there’s a line the republican crooks won’t cross for trump
For now.
They know which way the wind is blowing.. Rats deserting a sinking ship!
He wants to delay the elections but he won’t delay schools.
John Pozucek Good one!
He scared to death to lose in November this is the worst President in America history
Nothing could be more inaccurate, fraudulent and corrupt than Mr Trump himself.
President Trump is absolutely correct when he tweets, “It will be a great embarrassment to the USA.” Except he made a small typo. He mistakenly added a “t” to the first word of that sentence.
