In reply to the discussion: Did I hear that Trump says his people won't allow [View all]ancianita
(35,950 posts)11. Vanity Fair excerpt from what he calls "The Continuing Political Persecution of
Donald Trump".
Trump's statement:
[This] is all Democrat-inspired in a totally Democrat location, New York City and State, completely controlled and dominated by a heavily reported enemy of mine, Governor Andrew Cuomo. These are attacks by Democrats willing to do anything to stop the almost 75 million people (the most votes, by far, ever gotten by a sitting president) who voted for me in the electionan election which many people, and experts, feel that I won. I agree!
The new phenomenon of headhunting prosecutors and AGswho try to take down their political opponents using the law as a weaponis a threat to the very foundation of our liberty. Thats what is done in third world countries. Even worse are those who run for prosecutorial or attorney general offices in far-left states and jurisdictions pledging to take out a political opponent. Thats fascism, not justiceand that is exactly what they are trying to do with respect to me, except that the people of our Country wont stand for it.
In the meantime, murders and violent crime are up in New York City by record numbers, and nothing is done about it. Our elected officials dont care. All they focus on is the persecution of President Donald J. Trump. I will fight on, just as I have, for the last five years (even before I was successfully elected), despite all of the election crimes that were committed against me. We will win!

Vanity Fair's take:
...Trumpa person who incited a violent riot in the hopes of overturning the electionbelieves that crimes have been committed against him, and, despite the fact that he literally tried to use the Justice Department to investigate enemies, that he is the victim of political persecution.

So now he is employing the word fascism to describe Democrats. He probably finally got his head on straight about what antifa means and wants to re-invent this boogeyman to deflect back onto the ruling party, posing as some revolutionary in exile. And of course, the sedition caucus wants to help him.

This is what rump does. He implies he has people that will physically harm courts by mob or mafia.

At this point Trump is, at best, a raving, old coot yelling at kids to get off the lawn.

Not only that, he's likely going to take this word & revolutionary scenario to CPAC.

Can't agree. He's got McCarthy & the sedition caucus on board & sees CPAC as his launch pad.

He's counting on the MSM to get his message out to the faithful.
