"The president has always said he'll see what happens and make a determination in the aftermath" -- Trump will not leave office willingly. They're not even trying to hide it at this point. pic.twitter.com/1ScFdzryBn— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 19, 2020
Using the word "aftermath" has strong implications. They fully expect the election to be a disaster. Normal events don't have "aftermath".— Charles Mangin (@option8) August 19, 2020
If he wants to stay, he can be dragged out by an angry mob. I'd actually prefer that.— Grayson Mendenhall (@GKMendenhall) August 19, 2020

Reporters need to stop framing that question as though Trump has any choice in the matter. More like, “If Mr. Trump loses the election, will he continue our tradition of peaceful transition, or will he need to be removed by force?”— Gordon Matthew (@gordonsky) August 19, 2020

Perhaps A Reporter Could Find The Time To Bring That Up.
"Sir, How Would You Describe Something That Is 6,667 Times Worse Than A 'Bad Outbreak'?"
"New Zealand, by the way, had a bad outbreak." New Zealand had 6 new Covid cases today. The US had nearly 40,000. Imagine comparing those two situations. pic.twitter.com/JkbOMGzQQ6— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 19, 2020

Trump is asked to shed light on his thoughts about about the lunatic QAnon conspiracy theory. Instead of denouncing it, he says, "I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate."— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 19, 2020
"I've heard these are people who love our country," he adds, coming close to an endorsement pic.twitter.com/gcvHvuqzIa
But He Also Wishes Them Well
REPORTER: QAnon believes you are secretly saving the world from this cult of pedophiles and cannibals. Are you behind that?— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 19, 2020
TRUMP: Is that supposed to be a bad thing? We are actually. We are saving the world. pic.twitter.com/rPYFU1B8WB
Trump adds that QAnon believers are people who "love our country" and he's heard they don't like what's going on in Portland.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) August 19, 2020
Trump's endorsement of a far-right Muslim-hating conspiracy theorist should be a much bigger story. It's time to stop with euphemisms like "Trump is stoking the culture wars." This is reactionary anti-immigrant hate and extreme radicalization. New piece:https://t.co/ahPltY1ChB— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) August 19, 2020
Trump Is (Again) No Longer Against "Cancel Culture"
Before he started railing against "cancel culture," Trump tried for years to get numerous people and entities fired, boycotted or canceled for doing things he didn't like. My partial list here: https://t.co/wLe1qsajnQ pic.twitter.com/P0zZAQQdIW— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) August 19, 2020

Trump Supports The Destruction Of Certain Federal Property
Did DeJoy pull a Trump & simply lie that he halted USPS changes?? Mail sorting equipment is STILL being dismantled & destroyed in Michigan.— Paula Chertok🗽 (@PaulaChertok) August 19, 2020
I’m old enough to remember Trump sending armed federal forces to Portland claiming federal property needed protection from destruction. https://t.co/2lpXxt9qQY
NEW — Pelosi spoke to DeJoy this morning— Sam Stein (@samstein) August 19, 2020
"The Postmaster General frankly admitted that he had no intention of replacing the sorting machines, blue mailboxes and other key mail infrastructure."
They didn’t just remove those sorting machines, they destroyed them. This was overt sabotage and it is a federal crime.— Midlife Crisis Actor (@ScottHome1066) August 19, 2020
Some Very Fine People ... On Our Side
Laura Loomer says that she's a "proud Islamophobe," said that she doesn't "care" about the 2019 anti-Muslim mass shooting in Christchurch, and has stated that she's in favor of "more" migrant deaths.— Eric Hananoki (@ehananoki) August 19, 2020
The Florida GOP is backing her congressional campaign: https://t.co/BG2L1Zv6f9 pic.twitter.com/lqRamS0Xu9
"Loomer has called Muslims 'savages' and referred to herself as a '# ProudIslamophobe.' On multiple occasions, she has proclaimed that she does not care about what happened to Muslims in the Christchurch shootings, where more than 50 people were murdered.”https://t.co/s0lKBHaTMF https://t.co/7IueAEmDBl— Brendan Karet 🚮 (@bad_takes) August 19, 2020
