Donald Trump: ‘Facts Are on Our Side’ in Election Fight, but ‘Time Isn’t’

Charlie Spiering 27 Nov 2020

President Donald Trump admitted to reporters Thursday that though facts are on his side in the legal fight over the results of the election, time is not.

“As to whether or not I can get this apparatus moving this quickly–because time isn’t on our side…,” Trump said. “Everything else is on our side. Facts are on our side.”

The president spoke to reporters  Thursday evening after speaking to members of the armed forces for Thanksgiving Day.

A reporter asked Trump if he would concede the presidential election if the electoral college voted for former Vice President Joe Biden on December 14.

“It’s going to be a very hard thing to concede because we know there was massive fraud,” he said.

Trump questioned the voting process and the vote-counting machines as well as the mail-in ballot process, which, he said, was open to fraud.

“This should never take place in this country. We’re like a third world country,” he said. “We have machines that nobody knows what the hell they’re looking at.”

Trump also questioned how Biden could beat Obama’s vote numbers in swing states but remain far below Obama’s records in other areas of the country.

“This is not a candidate that could get 80 million votes. This is just not a candidate,” he said. “This is not a candidate that beat Barack Hussein Obama with the black voter, okay?”

Trump said that conceding was a “possibility” and snapped at a reporter for pressing him on the issue.

“You’re just a lightweight. Don’t talk to me that way. I’m the President of the United States,” Trump replied. “Don’t ever talk to the president that way.”

It would be great if the lawyers present those facts in court soon.  Otherwise he isn't doing himself any favors for 2024

If he is allowed to present those facts in court soon 2024 will be of no concern to him.

I wish for that too.  We have a hardline of Dec 15 don't we?

But the legal system is a slow ponderous thing, isn't it?

BTW, welcome to TBR @Knox27

Well its tough to give a synopsis without writing an essay.  But its close to republican party platforms of the 50s and 60s.  Really through gerald ford. 

Its tough to summarize!  Today that means what people call northeast Republicans I guess.

I believe I have heard them referred to as Rockefeller Republicans.

Yes, that's probably the term id use more often.  Blame a turkey and wine hangover.

Eisenhower was the Supreme Commander of allied forces in WWII.  After the war he became President and many U.S.coins bear his image.  Eisenhower hated the corruption of politics, and defying them he went golfing and ignored them, to their outrage.

Lol no im actually 38 years old!  I just think very highly of him, and inasmuch as I can rate presidents, I have him on top of my list.

One reason I never was bothered by obama or trump golfing!  He is number 2 in rounds played as president

Time isn't on Trump's side ... realistically and in all practicality, Biden (or Harris) will be sworn in.

As for 2024 ... seriously?  Does anyone really think at 78 years old, Trump is going to want to run again and put up with the b.s. from the left? Secondly, IMHO if anyone really thinks that after 4 years of the leftists attack on shredding our Constitution, amnesty, packing the courts and changing the electoral process that we'll even see an election in 2024, I think they're dreaming.

Socialism will be implemented.  Welcome to the continued Bammy  transformation.

The GOP had plenty of time to change things when they held the majority in both Houses and they absolutely failed!!!

Exactly right although I don't blame Trump for it, it was that SOB Paul Ryan.

   Welcome to TBR @Knox27 You're gonna have some good company here, judging by your first few posts.  Quite a few 'hardcore' Conservatives occupy this Board and the Woman that owns it tolerates us with a zeal unmatched on the interwebz.

Definitely not blaming Trump.  Indeed the bulk of the blame likes on Paul Ryan and like a whimp he stepped down right as the GOPe seats in the House tanked BIGLY.  He had lots of time to make some accomplishments; he was nothing more than a hindrance to the party; along with McCain they both sunk the party. It's still sinking.

[Fishrrman]

bele wrote (of the Republican party):
"...It's still sinking."

Indeed. Going down fast right now.

I'll still vote for the Republicans in the years to come (hoping I have at least several more of them left), but I'll make a Fishrrman prediction about the future of the country:

If the USA is eventually reclaimed from the communists, IT'S NOT going to be "the Republican party" that saves it or leads the way.

It will be "something else".
Not sure who or what right now.
It could even be "an American Pinochet".

That part of the future is too nebulous to be seen.
What CAN be clearly "seen" is that there will be years... decades... of hard times until then...

No, it is always the same. Only ONCE in my life has the Congress been in control of Conservatives (94), and that was short lived.

This is THE product of those who believe in pragmatism and the big tent... It's a damnable lie.

The Democrats fight like dogs for their progressive base, and have succeeded beyond measure over the last thirty years.

Republicans do the exact opposite - Preaching moderation and counseling against their conservative base, always hedging toward globalism and toward liberalism... And have done NOTHING to forward Conservatism in the last thirty years.

It ain't the Democrats cutting your throat - It's your own damn party sneaking in from the back.

I mean this exactly: Liberalism is not winning by its merit - It has no merit.
Liberalism is winning because it has no opposition.

@Knox27

It would be if the judges were to allow it,but it SEEMS to me "the fix is in",and none of the judges hand-picked to hear these cases ain't gonna allow that to happen.

And let's face it,if the Feebs were ever forced to start arresting corrupt politicians who committed fel

The swamp is deep and the swamp is wide,and it is all interconnected. The flip side of  "You scratch my back and I will scratch your back" is "If you rat me out,I will make sure we end up being cellmates."

@mystery-ak

It's a Republican that likes to get paid for playing golf and socializing,and never EVER being tied to anything controversial. He is everybody's friend,and on both sides of any issue you might mention.

@Knox27

I think the term "RINO" is appropriate.  These are the same creatures that almost stroked-out when Goldwater won the nomination. They talk a "good game",but that's all they do.

If anything controversial comes up,they always side with the Dims because the Dims have been a majority for almost 100 years now.

@christian

THAT's an "interesting" way to put it.

Another is he had no balls,and never even really tried to be a President. Then again,he was nothing more than a politician in uniform to start with.
