President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, on November 11, 2020 for Veterans Day.President Donald Trump has been asking aides about a plan to remain in office by subverting the Electoral College,Under the scenario, GOP-controlled state legislatures would ignore the popular vote in swing states, appointing Trump loyalists to the Electoral College to secure the president a second term.
The sources who spoke to the Times stressed that though Trump asked about the plan, he did not seem to entertain it seriously. President Donald Trump asked top aides about a wild plan involving replacing electors in swing states with loyalists to secure himself a second term,
To the Trumpanzees trying to suggest that this has been made up after the event, this was published on 23 September, six weeks before the election. ElectoralFraud TrumpCoupAttempt LockHimUp
Absolutely NO!!!!!!!
That is literally a non-violent coup.
He's barking mad.
Here you have a rich entitled s*** who never got told No as a kid, was able to avoid the draft, and went bankrupt 6 times with no consequences for him...and bullies his way out of everything......this is why rich folks need to make sure their kids are well gounded
How Republicans ignore the warning signs fucking blows my mind

Wow, if this is true he really is a dictator and a real threat to democracy. I feel sorry also for those immigrants who voted for him only because they were brainwashed to believe that Democrats are socialist dictators. trumpsucks TrumpCollapse soreloser dictator
More DNC delusional fear mongering on a clear swerve to distract from voter fraud. How about an article about how Warren and Kobluchar investigated the big 3 voting systems companies in Nov 2019 to learn about vulnerabilities?
Keep making up stories
In just over a hundred and fifty years, the Republican Party went from freeing enslaved people to enslaving free people.....wild.
just like a communist dictator would do/have done... Xi Jinping, Kim Ong-un, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro claiming they speak 'for the people'
Disinformation campaign
I highly doubt he could pull this off. If he did though, America would burn down overnight and the economy would grind to a halt. I would like to believe there are some sane individuals in government who don't want this.
Losing after the 4th quarter ends. Let's keep playing!

Just FYI, loyalist electors to your vote's party are what you're voting for in the first place, and then those elected electors cast their votes for the president. In case anyone needed more symbolism that Trump is basically trying to say 'I want peoples' votes to not matter'
Dude, if he manages to weasel himself back in at this point, I’d literally give up my retirement to pay another country to take me in. I will NOT tolerate him in a second term.
Wow.....just...wow...
Oh really?

He is the perfect reflection of how white supremacy and white patriarchy adherents are willing to try anything to retain their “rightful place” in humanity.
I doubt that very much
Democrats talked about that when Hillary lost too. Do some homework. Trump is not going to do that.
I mean sure, go ahead and take away the electoral college. You would lose anyway but at least the people directly decide who the president is... Ps let’s make a don’t concede & no smooth transition, you will lose your presidential benefits law..
Hahaha. Who told him to ask?
And people still think he didn't collude with Russia
He should seriously consider it. I mean, Republicans have supported all his corruption cover ups. What difference does this teeny tiny one make? maga
What the fuck
I think it would be better if a presidential candidate MUST pass an examination about the Constitution before taking office of the President.
were there in the room when this was discussed?
Desperate Trump knows he is going to jail and losing his empire come Jan 20th. He is trying everything to make that outcome go away. I have no doubt that he will try to rule the center of the country that wants him from afar. Last-minute departure to a place without extradition?
Trump has some serious mentality issues
Every action has equal and opposite reaction sooner or later. Past President Donald Trump was also Commander of Armed Forces. Its a puzzle why he has sacked US Defence Minister. Donald Trump tried to slap North Korea and Iran but kept shaking hands with Putin President of Russia.
Government official trying to steal an election through corruption? This is not treason?!
My question is have Trump's aides, Republicans and Cabinet expedited a plan to do this very thing.
bullshit neverhappened
It can’t happen in America, right?
good luck
Thank God this con man will not be over the United States of America again so one term president pack your bags and get out of town
