Trumps base will have swallowed that 'election fraud' monologue wholesale. With the midterms on the horizon it's going to be a scary time if you're in the US. For the rest of us it's going to be a car crash.

Trump has some sort of pathological ego issue, blaming others is always easier than accepting he's lost it. Now it's China's turn. The facts are that Trump's and Doge's incompetent meddling lost the data, leaving it open to hacking & exploitation by getting rid of key staff and safeguards, so the lying felon finds someone else to blame. Just like his stupidity over Iran plunging us all into fuel poverty (& wanting us to pay), him and Musk dodge responsibility. China are a spying risk true, but the door was left wide open. US now is a true Idiocracy with a madman & fellow inmates wrecking everything it once was.

All smoke and mirrors. You have to be pretty dumb to believe anything Trump says, or have your hand in the cookie jar!
@
Funny how Trump and GOP never question election they win.

It’s embarrassing.
@
Everyone knows it was putins Russia that got trump into power
@
The guest is right, if any country wanted to undermine and weaken the US then they will ensure Trump wins any election not the other way round surely! And we all know that “Russia Russia Russia” was actually true and not a hoax at all so
@
Trump is, quite obviously, preparing the ground for some Bob Mugabe-style election rigging. Such a loser.

Trump's explosive verbal diarrhea speech
@
The old saying used to be "Take information with a pinch of sault". Think that should be "Taken with a bucket of salt" where Dump is concerned. That is any time he opens his mouth. I still can't believe such a corrupt and inept leader cannot be removed, how much more damage is USA and the rest of the world put up with.

Desperate Donald flailing through a disastrous term that is feeling a lot like the Cyclosporiasis outbreak we are enduring in the US.

Trumpy is clearly delusional. If there was ever evidence to support 86 47 and NOW then it was his speech. Congress needs to do it's job and Uphold their OATH to Protect and Defend the Constitution and remove Trumpy with the 25th ammendment. He is clearly not menaly capable of leading the country.

How on EARTH have I missed the addition of the word "Spamoflage" to our lexicon?!? Great stuff!
@
It's funny, America doesn't just meddle in elections, they assassinate and replace world leaders
@
That's US politics in a nutshell: MUST have an enemy to fear, real or imagined. The only thing to fear is fear of the US government itself.
@
So did they interfere with the 2024 election allowing Trump to win ?

We all know that if there has been any interference in recent elections it's been on behalf of Trump - with Russia being the main culprit.
@
Trump is gearing up to enact a "state of Emergency" should the mid-terms go against him.

Laying the ground to discredit the result when he gets hammered in the mid-terms

Let's tighten up these headlines, shall we? "Trump Lied" - there, fixed it for you.

That line about doing China's work for them is a heavy hit. It feels like watching a player throw the game right before the final boss. Do you think this strategy actually works on the undecided crowd, or is he just burning through his own power-ups?
