An obsession is defined as an idea or thought that constantly pervades or intrudes upon a person’s thinking, sometimes controlling their mind. By that description, Donald Trump is obsessed with his election loss in the State of Georgia. He simply cannot accept it. On Saturday Trump spoke with Brad Raffensperger and his lawyer, Ryan Germany. Washington Post:
Trump said he plans to talk about the fraud on Monday, when he is scheduled to lead an election eve rally in Dalton, Ga. — a message that could further muddle the efforts of Republicans to get their voters out.
“You have a big election coming up and because of what you’ve done to the president — you know, the people of Georgia know that this was a scam,” Trump said. “Because of what you’ve done to the president, a lot of people aren’t going out to vote, and a lot of Republicans are going to vote negative, because they hate what you did to the president. Okay? They hate it. And they’re going to vote. And you would be respected, really respected, if this can be straightened out before the election.”
“Because of what you’ve done to the president.” Nobody did anything to Trump, except in his mind, where conspiracy theories ride atop pink elephants across the barren landscape of his intellect. Trump listens all day to right-wing media tell him the lies that he must hear, apparently, to be able to face himself each day and then he vents about same on Twitter. After Trump’s call to Raffensperger on Saturday he tweeted Sunday,
I spoke to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger yesterday about Fulton County and voter fraud in Georgia. He was unwilling, or unable, to answer questions such as the “ballots under table” scam, ballot destruction, out of state “voters”, dead voters, and more. He has no clue!

The telephone call dealt with Fulton County and how either Dominion machines have been carried away or alternatively, the machines are still there but the insides have been carried away. Here’s his latest Twitter meltdown. The meltdowns are coming more intensely and closer together like the labor pains of a nervous breakdown.
Sorry, but the number of votes in the Swing States that we are talking about is VERY LARGE and totally OUTCOME DETERMINATIVE! Only the Democrats and some RINO’S would dare dispute this – even though they know it is true!

Trump’s conversation with Raffensperger put him in legally questionable territory, legal experts said. By exhorting the secretary of state to “find” votes and to deploy investigators who “want to find answers,” Trump appears to be encouraging him to doctor the election outcome in Georgia. […]
Throughout the call, Trump detailed an exhaustive list of disinformation and conspiracy theories to support his position. He claimed without evidence that he had won Georgia by at least a half-million votes. He floated a barrage of assertions that have been investigated and disproven: that thousands of dead people voted; that an Atlanta election worker scanned 18,000 forged ballots three times each and “100 percent” were for Biden; that thousands more voters living out of state came back to Georgia illegally just to vote in the election. […]
“So tell me, Brad, what are we going to do? We won the election, and it’s not fair to take it away from us like this,” Trump said. “And it’s going to be very costly in many ways. And I think you have to say that you’re going to reexamine it, and you can reexamine it, but reexamine it with people that want to find answers, not people who don’t want to find answers.”
Trump did most of the talking on the call. He was angry and impatient, calling Raffensperger a “child” and “either dishonest or incompetent” for not believing there was widespread ballot fraud in Atlanta — and twice calling himself a “schmuck” for endorsing Kemp, whom Trump holds in particular contempt for not embracing his claims of fraud. […]
Trump sounded at turns confused and meandering. At one point, he referred to Kemp as “George.” He tossed out several different figures for Biden’s margin of victory in Georgia and referred to the Senate runoff, which is Tuesday, as happening “tomorrow” and “Monday.”
His desperation was perhaps most pronounced during an exchange with Germany, Raffensperger’s general counsel, in which he openly begged for validation.
Trump: “Do you think it’s possible that they shredded ballots in Fulton County? Because is what the rumor is. And also that Dominion took out machines. That Dominion is really moving fast to get rid of their, uh, machinery. Do you know anything about that? Because that’s illegal.
Germany responded: “No, Dominion has not moved any machinery out of Fulton County.”
Trump: “But have they moved the inner parts of the machines and replaced them with other parts?”
Germany: “No.”
Trump: “Are you sure? Ryan?”
Germany: “I’m sure. I’m sure, Mr. President.”
The man is nuts and this is who is going to be traveling to Georgia on Monday to campaign for the two incumbent GOP senators.
Let him make a fool of himself. Let him continue to rant and rave and ramble. Let him froth at the mouth. And then photograph him.
The man is really a mental patient. Whatever issues I might have had with other GOP presidents in the past, I never thought that any of them belonged in five point restraint.
At the rate his mind seems to be disintegrating, it should just be a puddle when he leaves office.
Lordy, there are tapes.
More tapes! What kind of pretzel will the sedition crew turn themselves into, trying to spin this s h i t ?
I wonder if he’ll completely forget to mention Perdue and Loeffler tomorrow because he’s so obsessed with what he thinks was “done to” him.
From your lips to God’s ear. That is exactly what I was thinking. Please, God, let him get up there and just self obsess — and be sure to talk about fraud fraud fraud. That would certainly motivate me to go out and vote, if I thought why bother?
What I did to the President is NOT vote for his worthless, corrupt lying ass and instead vote FOR a highly qualified, decent person to once again occupy the Oval Office. It’s not nearly what I’d LIKE to do to this President. I can’t say what I’d like to do without getting into trouble but let’s just say his whining for me to stop, for pity and mercy would bounce off me like a raindrop from a mountain made of granite. There is no measure to the amount of humiliation I’d visit upon the flaming orange human shaped rectum.
What we have done to him is nothing compared to what is about to be done to him.
Trump has failed at everything he has attempted, but he always had daddy, or someone who to “kiss it and make it better”. He truly believes he’s the best, but this time no one can save him.
Utterly appalling.
My favourite sentence:
Nobody did anything to Trump, except in his mind, where conspiracy theories ride atop pink elephants across the barren landscape of his intellect.
What a fabulous image!
Pink elephants on parade! 🙂
That’s his mental landscape. The pink elephants and massive telescreens with right-wing media telling him batshit statistics. Go look in his Twitter feed. It’s all retweets of OAN and Epoch Times. Talk about a sewer.
He’s soliciting crimes. How many times has he done this before, and gotten away with it?
I’m sure the indictments will have a final tally on that.
think of all the unrecorded/unleaked phone calls. You know this isn’t the only one.
It still applies nicely.
‘The cunning leftist plot to undermine Trump, called ‘Just let him talk’, (and if you can, record it.) is proceeding splendidly.
When will the next impeachment trial start? Asking for a friend.
The first of Never. At this point, there is no point. Not even Vladimir Vladimirovitch can get him out of this one, what with his own COVID pandemic and him trying to keep the oligarchs behind him from putting him down for too many failures.
He deserves in spades another impeachment anyway.
He made 0 demands some dont know the difference between a conversation of concern and a demand …..WOW. SMH
