Donald Trump claimed he could barely hear the “vote for him chant” on the Supreme Court when he visited the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Thursday, a scene the White House called “appalling.”
The president previously told Fox News Radio that only a court ruling that Joe Biden won the November election will convince him of his defeat, predicting once again that electoral fraud will result in “a horror show.”
He would especially accept Supreme Court rulings if Republicans crowd the court, which he threatened to do if they retain power in November in response to Democratic threats to pack up the court. “I guess we could do that too, right?” Trump said.
This followed his refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power during a press conference at the White House on Wednesday, saying: “We will have to see what happens… There will be no transfer frankly. There will be a continuation. ”
Bernie Sanders said the president’s refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power was a “threat to democracy,” and said the election was not a choice of Trump against Biden but of Trump against democracy.
Sanders was campaigning while Biden called the day “cover” around 9 am, meaning he would make no more public campaign appearances. The president did not hesitate to poke fun at Biden’s early end of the day, saying at a Florida campaign rally that the Democratic candidate was the “least energetic individual” ever seen.
At an earlier event in North Carolina to announce his “America First” health care plan, Trump said he was signing executive orders to include pre-existing medical conditions and end surprise medical bills, while calling Republicans the “party of health”.
Meanwhile, Mary Trump filed a lawsuit claiming her uncle cheated on her out of tens of millions of dollars while kicking her out of the family’s real estate business.

‘Trump’s rally interrupted by protests’
Trump’s Florida rally was briefly halted after what Trump said was a girl whose lungs were ‘very small’ tried to protest the president.
“They have no voice, they are screaming at the top of their lungs, but their lungs are very small and I did not listen,” Trump said.
“Now, tomorrow, the headline is … ‘Trump’s rally interrupted by protests’, a very young girl, I can say girl, looks like she is about 16 years old. How the hell does that happen?

Trump mocks Biden as low-energy after calling an early ‘cover’
Jeb Bush may breathe a sigh of relief now that he is not the lowest energy individual Donald Trump has ever seen.
Joe Biden was promoted to that spot after calling a “cap” on his day around 9 a.m., meaning he wouldn’t be out for any more public campaigns.
“We cannot have a low energy individual as our president, we cannot, and he is the lowest energy individual I have ever seen. What I’ve seen, ”Trump said.

Coronavirus sounds like a ‘beautiful place in Italy’, says Trump
“Some people call it coronavirus, it sounds like a beautiful place in Italy, right? No, it didn’t come from Italy, it came from CHINA! “Trump said at a campaign rally in Florida.
Our prediction: This is a veiled dig that will eventually evolve into a direct attack on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who persists in calling Covid-19 the “European virus.”
New York has indicated that they would do their own due diligence on any possible coronavirus vaccines.

What does a “peaceful transfer of power” look like?
After much talk about the peaceful “continuation” of Trump’s power, it’s worth looking at this AP timeline on what a post-Election Day transfer of power would look like:
- Late November / Early December: Each state has its own deadline to certify the election.
- December 8 – Safe Harbor Deadline, which means Congress cannot challenge electors named for this date.
- December 14 – Voters must meet in their states and cast their votes for the presidency.
- December 23: States are supposed to transmit their votes to Congress by this date.
- January 3: Inauguration of the new Congress.
- January 6: Congress counts the electoral votes, which formally certifies the winner.
- January 20: At noon on this day, the Constitution says that a new presidential term begins.
But what if Congress hasn’t certified a winner yet? Say, due to a delay in counting mail ballots?
Trump addressed that question a few weeks ago when he repeated the “crazy theory” that Nancy Pelosi would become president.
Donald Trump warns of ‘theory’ that Nancy Pelosi will become president if the results of the 2020 elections are not known before the end of the year
We checked the facts in August and found that technically it is possible. But there are a lot of ducks that should line up before that happens. Below is the gist of it, with receipts at the links:
The 20th Amendment to the United States Constitution says that the president and vice president must leave office if no successor has been chosen by the end of their term on January 20.
While the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 determined that the next in line for presidential succession is the Speaker of the House, the Constitution also sets an end date for Pelosi’s term at noon on January 3.
If Pelosi is not re-elected due to a delayed vote, the next in line to assume the office of president would be the “President Pro Tempore” of the Senate, who is currently Republican Chuck Grassley of Iowa.
However, if no elections are held, the 22 Republican Senate seats up for re-election will remain vacant, giving Democrats a majority and allowing them to elect a new president pro tempore, who would later become president. .
But that line of presidential succession is based on the premise that the election would be delayed beyond January 20, rather than on Trump’s suggestion that if the election continues with a widespread vote-by-mail, the results will not be known until after the deadline.
If the elections continue and Pelosi is reelected with certified results before the January 3 deadline, while the results of the presidential elections are not certified until after Trump’s January 20 deadline, the “crazy theory” is that it could be placed on target. House.

Republicans are the ‘health party’, says Trump
Speaking at an event to announce his “America First” health plan, Donald Trump said Republicans were the “health party” before pulling a list of accomplishments out of his jacket pocket to read aloud.
“We have really become the health party, the republican party and nobody knows it. The news doesn’t talk about it, ”he said.
The first two on that list: “Individual mandate repealed, Obamacare removed …”
