The former president made multiple chilling warnings during an interview with Time magazine.

Donald Trump hasn’t quite let go of the possibility of utilizing mob violence if he loses the next election.

In a sprawling interview for Time magazine, Trump hinted that leveraging political violence to achieve his end goals was still on the table.

“If we don’t win, you know, it depends,” he told Time. “It always depends on the fairness of the election.”

And from Trump’s perspective, that’s winning rhetoric. According to him, his incendiary comments supporting a mob mentality, his early warnings of forthcoming abuses of power, and his threats to be a dictator on “day one” are only inching him closer to the White House. “I think a lot of people like it,” Trump told Time.

    Question is what exactly does he mean? That MAGA republicans from around USA will visit the capitol city and go to see congress, all completely peacefully. we just have to hope the LGTB people don’t make a mess of it.

    Because isn’t that what he claimed happened?

    Trump is such a malignant idiot, and so is everybody who supports him.

        I was referring to Trump’s rhetoric that nothing happened, it was mostly a garden party where everybody from MAGA were nice and didn’t do anything wrong. Despite all the evidence of violence and even policemen/security people dying and threats of executing politicians. But hey, that’s just another day of being American I guess.

          Nothing bad happened on Jan6… It was AntiFa and BLM… But the people in jail are patriot MAGA hostages?

          These people will say those three things together and not see a problem with it

        Can’t upset conservatives or they won’t vote for me. And my entire election strategy hinges on winning over as many moderate conservatives as possible.
