******* I haven't "visited" 45's Tweets in a few weeks. I copy them exactly the way they are sent. I'll post the "best" from the last few days.... If I have any comments, they are denoted by asterisks, like this one. Most of his recent Tweets, since 2 November, actually, have been labeled as "False" or "Misleading" or "Election Disinformation" by Twitter itself.
On his @realDonaldTrump Twitter account 33 Tweets were sent on Friday, 13 November, 42 on Saturday, 53 on Sunday, and 39 so far today, 16 November. A lot of the "sends" are re-Tweets of messages that massage his ego, which I generally exclude. *******
SOURCE: Twitter - Sent by @realDonaldTrump (which, remember, the US Department of Justice has declared "Official Announcements" from the White House and U.S. President):
- on 13 Nov. at 10:59 am EST: "For years the Dems have been preaching how unsafe and rigged our elections have been. Now they are saying what a wonderful job the Trump Administration did in making 2020 the most secure election ever. Actually this is true, except for what the Democrats did. Rigged Election!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 13 Nov. at 1:35 pm EST: "Heartwarming to see all of the tremendous support out there, especially the organic Rallies that are springing up all over the Country, including a big one on Saturday in D.C. I may even try to stop by and say hello. This Election was Rigged, from Dominion all the way up & down!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 13 Nov. at 3:38 pm EST: "Now it is learned that the horrendous Dominion Voting System was used in Arizona (and big in Nevada). No wonder the result was a very close loss!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 13 Nov. at 7:28 pm EST: "700,000 ballots were not allowed to be viewed in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh which means, based on our great Constitution, we win the state of Pennsylvania!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 13 Nov. at 7:50 pm EST: "Georgia Secretary of State, a so-called Republican (RINO), won't let the people checking the ballots see the signatures for fraud. Why? Without this the whole process is very unfair and close to meaningless. Everyone knows we won the state. Where is @BrianKempGA?" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 14 Nov. at 9:29 am EST (a 2-part): "The Consent Decree signed by the Georgia Secretary of State, with the approval of Governor @BrianKempGA, at the urging of @staceyabrams, makes it impossible to check & match signatures on ballots and envelopes, etc. They knew they were going to cheat. Must expose real signatures!"
"....What are they trying to hide. They know, and so does everyone else. EXPOSE THE CRIME!" ** Both posts were flagged by Twitter
- on 14 Nov. at 3:57 pm EST: "They wouldn't let our Poll Watchers and Observers into the Counting Rooms. We win on that alone!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 14 Nov. at 6:07 pm EST: "There is tremendous evidence of wide spread voter fraud in that there is irrefutable proof that our Republican poll watchers and observers were not allowed to be present in poll counting rooms. Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and others. Unconstitutional!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 14 Nov. at 11:03 and 11:17 pm EST: "ANTIFA SCUM ran for the hills today when they tried attacking the people at the Trump Rally, because those people aggressively fought back. Antifa waited until tonight, when 99% were gone, to attack innocent #MAGA People. DC Police, get going - do your job and don't hold back!!!"
- on 14 Nov. at 11:43 pm EST: "Radical Left ANTIFA SCUM was easily rebuffed today by the big D.C. MAGA Rally crowd, only to return at night, after 99% of the crowd had left, to assault elderly people and families. Police got there, but late. Mayor is not doing her job!" *Deleted*
- on 15 Nov. at 7:47 am EST: "He won because the Election was Rigged. NO VOTE WATCHERS OR OBSERVERS allowed, vote tabulated by a Radical Left privately owned company, Dominio, with a bad reputation & bum equipment that couldn't even qualify for Texas (which I won by a lot!), the Fake & Silent Media, & more!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 15 Nov. at 7:56 am EST: "All of the mechanical "glitches" that took place on Election Night were really THEM getting caught trying to steal votes. They succeeded plenty, however, without getting caught. Mail-in elections are a sick joke!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 15 Nov. at 9:16 am EST: "RIGGED ELECTION. WE WILL WIN!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 15 Nov. at 9:19 am EST: "He only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA. I concede NOTHING! We have a long way to go. This was a RIGGED ELECTION!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 15 Nov. at 5:21 pm EST: "Many of the court cases being filed all over the Country are not ours, but rather those of people that have seen horrible abuses. Our big cases showing the unconstitutionality of the 2020 Election, & the outrage of things that were done to change the outcome, will soon be filed!"
******* Note from BND: Of the 18 cases filed by Trump attorneys, 14 have been dismissed by Judges, 2 are being considered, 1 the Supreme Court has put on a back-burner without agreeing to hear it, and 1 is waiting to be heard. *******
- on 15 Nov. at 8:46 pm EST (a 3-part): "Why does the Fake News Media continuously assume that Joe Biden will ascend to the Presidency, not even allowing our side to show, which we are just getting ready to do, how badly shattered and violated our great Constitution has been in the 2020 Election. It was attacked,.."
"....perhaps like never before! From large numbers of Poll Watchers that were thrown out of vote counting rooms in many of our States, to millions of ballots that have been altered by Democrats, only for Democrats, to voting after the Election was over, to using Radical Left"
"....owned Dominion Voting Systems, turned down by Texas and many others because it was not good or secure, those responsible for the safeguarding of our Constitution cannot allow the Fake results of the 2020 Mail-In Election to stand. The World is watching!" ** All of these posts were flagged by Twitter
- on 15 Nov. at 11:55 pm EST (posted twice): "I WON THE ELECTION!" ** Both posts were flagged by Twitter
- on 16 Nov. at 8:51 am EST: "I won the Election!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 16 Nov. at 10:37 am EST: "The Radical Left Democrats, working with their partner, the Fake News Media, are trying to STEAL this Election. We won't let them!" ** Flagged by Twitter
- on 16 Nov. at 10:59 am EST: "They will PACK THE COURTS. We won't let that happen!"
- on 16 Nov. at 11:59 am EST: "Georgia won't let us look at the all important signature match. Without that the recount is MEANINGLESS. Open up unconstitutional Consent Decree, NOW! @BrianKempGA " ** Flagged by Twitter
******* When the ballots were first counted, each signature was matched. Taking the time to match the signatures a second time for a manual recount was deemed unnecessary by the Georgia Supreme Court, as it might double or triple the time needed for a recount. *******
******* Also, once Donald J. Trump is out of office, at 12:01 pm on 21 January 2021, he is no longer protected from the many lawsuits that are awaiting him. Within the next 4 years, before 2025, he has to repay bank loans, which, with interest, total almost $1 billion. And he faces lawsuits including (possibly) money laundering, insurance fraud, sexual assault, rape, campaign financial violations, lying under oath, bribery, conspiracy, and treason against the United States of America. *******
