Almost a week after Democrats swept the midterms with historic gains in Congress and downballot races, Donald Trump denied the legitimacy of election results across the country and resurrected old conspiracy theories about voting machines.
“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest,” Trump posted on social media Monday morning. “How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote. It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”
Democrats saw historic, sweeping gains across the country last week. They won the largest majority in decades in the U.S. House of Representatives, flipped party control of the U.S. Senate and clinched control of local governments in numerous states.
What polls? Show me any polls that didn’t predict a blue wave.
I bet this means nobody dared to tell him how bad the poll data actually was.
That’s one thing I haven’t been able to figure out. I know he’s surrounded by yes-men, but is he really that sheltered? He has to have directly been told he’s a piece of shit by hundreds, if not thousands. What goes on in his head? He’s consistently up there with Musk as one of the most hated people in the U.S.
More than you might think. They’re not just sycophants, but people who have now gotten jobs in or near the Oval Office itself, working for a highly volatile, unstable man-baby who screams at and fires people on the regular just because he needs someone to blame. I’m sure some of them, especially the younger ones, are traumatized.
So it’s everything you said, but add some terror and the threat of losing everything you ever worked for, and that’s the level of information filtering he is surrounded with. Nobody’s going to tell him what he doesn’t want to hear, especially if someone else can do it, and in the end he just doesn’t get told a lot of things.
This is the one shiny thing about Stephen Miller getting the Chief of Staff job: he’s no Susie Wiles, and he’s now going to be the personal target of all that demented presidential ire. Whatever happens from this point forward, at some point it’s all going to be Miller’s fault even to Trump, and the ketchup will fly, and he too will be thrown under the bus.
(Note that Miller was also left on the decoy plane when Trump and Natalie Harp left via food truck to get on the real Air Force One in Turkey: to Trump, Miller wasn’t worth saving. None of them were, except Harp.)
Remember the hurricane prediction map that they drew on so he could be right when he said it was going to hit Alabama (or some other gulf state).
All the polls he didn’t agree with were obviously fake.
I’ve got just one question… Are you a robot?
Clearly the answer is 0
He means the polls that told him what he wanted to see
He asked Grok
You mean the ones miller showed hlm
