Donald Trump suggested canceling the election Thursday and granting himself the presidency.

“What a difference. You know, what a difference this is,” Trump said during a rally in Toledo, Ohio, after comparing his tax plan with Hillary Clinton’s.

“And just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump, right? What are we even having it for? What are we having it for?” he asked. “Her policies are so bad. Boy, do we have a big difference.”

Twelve days from Election Day, Trump’s indication that he should be given the White House also comes as he trails Clinton nationally and in a number of key battleground states. Polls also show Clinton is challenging the GOP nominee in Republican strongholds like Arizona, Utah and Texas.

Trump, who has propagated unsubstantiated claims that the election is rigged against him, has also suggested that if he were to lose, he may not concede the election, bucking the tradition of a concession by the loser and a peaceful transfer of power.

Just a sign of things to expect IF Orange Glorious wins the election. But why not? Dear Leader has been acting on Ex Priv alone for the last eight years. Why should Trump act any different?

Adding... And if Nobama hasn't unilaterally decreed all these many illegal actions - then he had the gutless Repukes in Congress that failed again and again to overturn his laws.

Pride goeth before the fall... And it's dang near winter.

I really think this was his attempt at making a joke.

Although there are probably some of his supporters who would love to cancel the election and just install him a Supreme Leader.

But I do find Trump referring to himself in the 3rd person a bit creepy.

Yea, I know Bob Dole.  But Dole did have a great sense of humor.

“And just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump, right? What are we even having it for? What are we having it for?” he asked. “Her policies are so bad. Boy, do we have a big difference.”

Are we speaking in 3rd person now? OK. I'm in.

AllThatJazzZ disagrees. AllThatJazzZ thinks Trump is unqualified in every respect to be POTUS. AllThatJazzZ would NEVER vote for Hildebeast, but AllThatJazzZ couldn't bring herself to vote for Trump either.

AllThatJazzZ has begged Republicans (and Democrats who have played mischief with our primary process) not to allow Trump to be our nominee, but AllThatJazzZ received the left hand of fellowship from a large number of people she thought were fellow travelers. Therefore, AllThatJazzZ strongly takes issue with Trump's suggestion that it should be decreed that he wins the presidency. Oh, and, Donald. Stop trying to be cutesy. Your stupidity is a reflection on all of us.

He refers to the third person all the time.

This is another Fascism warning.  When I hear Trump I think Tyrant and dictator.  When I hear Hillary I think corrupt and liar.

Just when you think he couldn't get worse, he defies expectations

[Cripplecreek]

Its not the first time Mr "man of the people" has suggested crapping on the people and giving him an election.

I remember that, I remembering mocking it at FR too

Except for the honey words part.....

I'm sure it was. It's nothing to joke about.


More poor judgement from Trump.

[INVAR]

All the red flags regarding Trump are hiding in plain sight.

Ignore them at your peril.

New York doesn't even like Trump.  It is solid Clinton.

Again, let's not take words out of context, the full statement is:

“And just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump, right? What are we even having it for? What are we having it for?” he asked. “Her policies are so bad. Boy, do we have a big difference.”

That's obvious, his policies would be better, the Democrats, have entangled us in war, is racist against most all people.  Is the party of the genocide of abortion in this country.

Even he should be able to kid around.

You are not alone. Yes we've lost many that we thought were "fellow travelers" but at least the mask has been lifted and they've been exposed. One day at a time...

He has a history of Mussolini-esque self-aggrandizing statements about how he will rule.

So all 'joking' aside - this is just more of the same red flags Trump has shot up the flagpoles.

Hildabeast is less a threat and more are clear as to what she is.

We stand a better chance of surviving Hillary's tyranny than Trump's.

Trump: 'We should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump'

I for one like this idea. It will save me the indignity of voting for any of these losers this year.

Idaho Cowboy would never take his words out of context. It was meant to be humorous, but there's a great line from Open Range that comes to Idaho Cowboy's mind.
"Most time, a man will tell you his bad intentions if you listen, let yourself hear."
