Trump will at some point suggest pushing back election due to coronavirus (Louisiana vote postponed)

[mastermind]

This administration doesn't seem to care about that

I’m aware they don’t, but he can’t change it.

What I do see happening is Trump telling people not to vote because “we can’t vote at such a perilous time,” losing the election and then saying it’s illegitimate.

It’s literally in the constitution. It can’t be changed.

What constitution?

Yeah cuz if he loses he will say his favorite word "unfair". It was unfair so many of my supporters couldn't vote lmao

depends if trump drops in polls and the writing is on the wall

His poll numbers vs Biden have always been relatively weak. Granted we're still relatively early but it's obvious he'd rather face Bernie. As the economic picture starts getting worse he'll really get scared.

trump ignores laws, customs/norms etc all the time. look at how openly he ignores the emoluments clause. he refuses to enact/implement laws that were passed by Congress.

I don't see him telling ppl not to vote. It would obviously weaken any argument he has post election. his downplaying the virus may in fact be a strategy to ensure that his ppl aren't discouraged from rallies and then voting. he'll take a win anyway he can get it.

The difference here is that it isn’t an investigation into Only Trump, but instead upheaving the electoral process, which affects many others. He could push it, but this won’t go thru.

If it doesn’t look like he will win, why would he want his people to vote? It’s easier to say the process is bent or that Dems don’t care about public health and safety and voted despite his wishes. It’s “unfair,” as he would say and it punishes his voters. All of that is to create an me vs them narrative, which he enjoys more than anything.

wreh, trump doesn't do anything with finesse. He's literally going to suggest it openly. First on twitter just to get ppl all worked up. There's going to be an entire week of people's heads exploding at the thought. Right wing will pick up their cue and respond "we don't think that will be necessary...i think we're getting ahead of ourselves." He will continue to hamstring a proper response until eventually you'll see cities/states moving on their own (using tests that everyone knows are reliable without CDC/Fed approval). Then there will be huge federal effort at testing etc which will show that literally everyone has been exposed. While all of this is happening eventually the lemming media, especially those who like to consider themselves "above the fray" will start asking if delaying the election doesn't make sense..."just bc trump is suggesting it, it doesnt mean its a bad idea.......the election will not be legitimate if millions are unable/unwilling to vote!!'

fukk this was too spot on...

This crossed my mind but I never wanted to type it out. Some things are better left unsaid.

The media and other influential people thinking like this is one of the reasons we're in this mess. No one establishes any red lines. As crazy as he is, he DOES respond at times when criticism is widespread and sustained. Remember when he wanted to bring the G7 Meetings to his Doral Club. He eventually relented bc that was just too much for ppl to stomach.

I think he'll float the idea but won't get enough support and he'll look scared af.
The virus would have to get way worse of course. Maybe a prominent official dies from it. Can change the whole ball game.

Where u get that info from that it's a pandemic? The WHO last said that it was likely that it'll become a pandemic. But lets not get ahead of ourselves yet

Only if it looks like he will be losing. If it’s up in the air he won’t do anything.
