Donald Trump Speech Transcript at North Carolina GOP Convention Dinner June 5
“As we gather tonight, our country is being destroyed before our very own eyes. “
January 6 ring a bell?
“Crime is exploding.”
True, remind me again who was president in 2020…
The US saw significant crime rise across major cities in 2020. And it’s not letting up
“Police departments are being ripped apart and defunded. Can you believe that? Is that good politics, defund our police?”
No, they are not.
7 myths about “defunding the police” debunked
“We’re going to have a tremendous 2022, just like we did frankly, 2020. Think of it. More votes than any sitting president in the history of the United States by far.”
I am a life-long Republican that hopes that Democrats crush Republicans in 2020 so the GOP realizes the error of its ways. Voter Turnout set records, and Biden WON the Election.
“Our freedom is being overtaken by left wing cancel culture, and the Biden administration is pushing toxic critical race theory and illegal discrimination into our children’s schools.”
“Critical Race Theory” is a new GOP buzz phrase, like “Socialism” because “Wall! and Drain the Swamp!” don’t work.
“Joe Biden and the Socialist Democrats are the most radical left-wing administration in history.”
Didn’t take long to go with “Socialist” buzzword. Socialism is the new @GOP Mantra because “Wall!” and “Repeal and Replace” and “Drain the Swamp” and “Coal Miners Back to Work” and “Lock Her Up!” and “Term Limits” and “Balanced Budget” won’t work.
Did Harry Truman Denounce the Use of ‘Socialism’ as a ‘Scare Word’?
“And before the pandemic came into our shores, we were doing numbers. In history, there’s never been anything like it. Unemployment for everybody, for every group, everybody was the best it’s ever been. We’re up to 160 million people. We were never even close to a number like that. And then we had this horrible thing come in from China.”
Obama created more jobs in his last 37 months than Trump did in his first 37 months, PRE-COVID, and had better unemployment numbers.
“We had the highest stock market ever, the best job numbers.”

“Our cupboards were bare. The federal cupboards were bare and the state cupboards were bare and we’ve done a tremendous job.“
Trump has repeated this lie several times.
Trump said the Obama admin left him a bare stockpile. Wrong
February 25th, 2020, will be a date in future history books
“we’ve done a tremendous job.“
NO!
Trump did a terrible job!
“We bought billions and billions of dollars worth of vaccine and all forms of getting that vaccine into your body. The needles, the bottles, the whole thing. We bought millions and billions actually of dollars worth of the vaccine.”
And like masks, your followers refuse to take the vaccine

“And if you like the environment, the pipeline is much better than railroad tracks and it’s much better than trucking.”
Wrong!
Why are oil pipelines bad?
The short version: What we found about the dangers of natural gas pipelines
A PROPER PICTURE OF THE COLONIAL PIPELINE’S PAST
“He rejected our pipeline, but he approved the Russian pipeline, which I had completely stopped going into Germany and all parts of Europe. So I stopped Russia and I have a very good relationship with President Putin, but there’s never been anybody as tough on Russia than I was.”
“Is there anything that you’ve ever seen, like what’s going on, on the southern border? And people are coming in from South America, Latin America, but they’re coming in from the Middle East.”
This Middle East?
South America? Latin America?
“And the fact that we built almost 500 miles of wall, and just a few months, it would have been completed, took two and a half years of litigation to get to build the wall and what an impact it had. But it would have been completed, totally completed in just a couple of months.”
Another often-repeated Trump lie
“However, only 80 miles of new barriers have been built where there were none before – that includes 47 miles of primary wall, and 33 miles of secondary wall built to reinforce the initial barrier.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46748492
Trump’s wall: How much has been built during his term?
“We instituted rapid removals on the border and that’s really rapid. I call it one day turnaround of criminals coming into our country, sending people home in record time. We have times that nobody ever heard of before. We ended catch and release.”
Most of those caught and released showed up for their court dates

“We have times that nobody ever heard of before.”
Thanks to Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions, we witnessed children separated from their parents via Sessions “Zero Tolerance” policy.

“That’s where you catch somebody, could be a horrible criminal. You catch somebody, a rapist, a murderer, could be a drug dealer.”
US Citizens commit far more crime per capita than immigrants
FACT CHECK: Trump, Illegal Immigration And Crime
Is Illegal Immigration Linked to More or Less Crime?
“A lot of them are here tonight. We cracked down on sanctuary cities, deported gang members by the thousands, and dealt a crippling blow to MS-13, that’s the most vicious gang of all. And we took them out of here by the thousands.”
Fact check: United States did not deport 16,000 MS-13 gang members
“After we instituted these policies, the number of illegal aliens coming across our border declined by an astounding 91%. But under Joe Biden, illegal crossings are up nearly 1000% compared to the same period last year.”
This is a made-up crisis to energize the base
Ask Alabama
“As you know, we handed the new administration the greatest economy in the history of the world.”
Trump repeats this lie a lot!
“We passed massive tax cuts.”
For corporations and the rich -The 2016 GOP platform promised to balance the budget.
2016 GOP Platform
In 2017 the GOP and Donald Trump gave Berkshire-Hathaway $29 Billion (with a B!)
“To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:
Berkshire’s gain in net worth during 2017 was $65.3 billion, which increased the per-share book value of
both our Class A and Class B stock by 23%. Over the last 53 years (that is, since present management took over), pershare book value has grown from $19 to $211,750, a rate of 19.1% compounded annually.*The format of that opening paragraph has been standard for 30 years. But 2017 was far from standard: A
large portion of our gain did not come from anything we accomplished at Berkshire.The $65 billion gain is nonetheless real – rest assured of that. But only $36 billion came from Berkshire’s
https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/2017ar/2017ar.pdf
operations. The remaining $29 billion was delivered to us in December when Congress rewrote the U.S. Tax Code.
Another one of Trump’s Great Hits of Lies:
“The largest ever.”
It Wasn’t
Donald Trump wrong again that recent tax bill is biggest ever
Trump’s tax cut won’t be the biggest in U.S. history
“Record regulation cuts”
Pro-Business, Anti-Environment
“historic pro-American trade deals”
What Trade Deals? Where?
“The New York Times, who I don’t often quote, just stated 1,000,000 jobs a month seemed within grasp not long ago. Think of it, 1,000,000 jobs a month seemed within grasp not long ago, but now it looks like wishful thinking. Isn’t that sad? Now, we would have done much better than that. But that’s the New York Times saying it. Monthly jobs numbers have missed expectations the last two months in a row and you saw what was released on Friday. They were devastating numbers, job numbers.”
Jobs? Obama created more. Biden has created more. Primary Source:
Employment, Hours, and Earnings from the Current Employment Statistics survey (National)
Obama created 8,276,000 new jobs in last 37 months compared to Trump’s 7,194,000 new jobs in his first 37 months (Pre-COVID) Joe Biden’s first February thru May went 536, 785, 278 and 559. Trump’s first February thru May went 183, 139, 220 and 141.
“Gas prices have increased almost 71% since one year ago. Think of it.”
OK, I will think about it. Gas Prices?
Weekly Retail Gasoline and Diesel Prices
May 2016? Obama was president then, wasn’t he? $2.199 May 2018 (Trump was president) $2.808 May 2020 (COVID?) $1.769 May 2021 $2.885 Supply and Demand?
“Democrats are now attempting to pass the largest tax hike in American history and it will affect everybody. They’re saying it’s against the rich. It’s against everybody. A lot of the rich will take off to go to other countries. A lot of the companies that I brought back are going to leave and go back to other countries where they can not have to pay all of their profits out in taxes. They’re talking about the biggest tax hike in history by far.”
Nothing in that paragraph has any basis in fact.
Biden’s Tax Plan: What’s Enacted, What’s Proposed
“Higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy, no increase under $400k”
“They’re also pushing a $2.25 trillion infrastructure bill that’s not infrastructure. It’s the kind of things that you don’t want. 9% looks like it might be infrastructure, but mostly it’s not infrastructure at all.”
Not True
“The Democrat legislation also includes an extreme plan to abolish single family home zoning, which would obliterate your home values, increase crime, and destroy the suburbs all to satisfy the far-left agenda of AOC, Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar, who is telling us how to run our country. It’s a great experience. She comes from a country that’s done a wonderful job running their country. Now, she’s telling us how to run our country. While Democrats push economic policies designed to punish American workers, Republicans must keep on fighting to protect, promote, and uplift the American worker who we cherish.”
This is the racist “There Goes The Neighborhood” Dog-Whistle from the 1960s combined with some nativism.
“That begins with standing up to Communist China. Last year, China inflicted an estimated $ 16 trillion of economic damage onto the United States with a virus that I call the China Virus because I want to be accurate, that claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens.”
I thought Donald Trump’s Travel Ban was the answer? It wasn’t. Even though he said it was.
Trump’s Incompetence caused people to die
“Had we not come up with a vaccine, you would have had a 1917 Spanish Flu number.”
Shame on you Ronna McDaniel! You have had plenty of times to tell Donald Trump it is 1918, not 1917.
Trump won’t stop saying the 1918 flu pandemic happened in 1917
“The media, the Democrats, and the so-called experts are now finally admitting what I first said 13 months ago. The evidence demonstrates that the virus originated in a Chinese government lab. Couldn’t say it. You couldn’t say it. Dr. Fauci, who I actually got along with, he’s a nice guy, he’s a great promoter. Not a great doctor, but he’s a hell of a promoter.”
This is the pot calling the kettle black! Dr. Fauci has been Director of NIAID in 1984. No one had every heard of him until YOU came into office and caused people to die. Dr. Fauci went from 1984 to 2016 without any promotion of himself.
Donald Trump destroyed the CDC and FDA!
“But generally speaking, I went the opposite way of Dr. Fauci, what he was saying. For instance, Fauci said, “Do not close our borders to China or Europe,” but I did it anyway. Months later, he said I made the right decision and saved thousands and thousands of lives”
The Travel Ban was NOT a Travel Ban and did not save lives.
Europe travel ban came too late to stop New York outbreak, CDC data confirms
“But generally speaking, I went the opposite way of Dr. Fauci, what he was saying.“
Dr. Fauci and others put peoples’ lives over money. Donald Trump put his economy and re-election over lives.
“Fauci said powerfully at the beginning no masks. You remember that? No, masks don’t work. Masks don’t. Then he went into masks and then he became a radical masker. I recall him… If you have three, if you have four. Get a pair of goggles also ideally. Let’s wear them for another five or six years.”
It is so sad how Donald Trump politicized mask wearing. Dr. Fauci originally discouraged mask wearing because of concern for medical personnel.
Fauci said US government held off promoting face masks because it knew shortages were so bad that even doctors couldn’t get enough
“But Fauci has, perhaps, never been more wrong than when he denied the virus and where it came from. The time has come for America and the world to demand reparations and accountability from the Communist Party of China. We should all declare within one unified voice that China must pay. They must pay. The United States should immediately take steps to phase in a firm 100% tariff on all goods made in China. You saw what was happening with our tariffs. In fact, the Democrats were fighting the tariffs, “Oh, we don’t…” Well, he hasn’t taken those tariffs off. He doesn’t want to. Billions and billions of dollars. 25% tariffs on China. Billions and billions of dollars is pouring in.”
The United States does NOT make money off of tariffs from China
Explainer: Trump’s China tariffs – Paid by U.S. importers, not by China
Tariffs do not work!
Trump’s Tariffs Were Much More Damaging Than Thought
“We made a tremendous deal for the farmers. Farmers are doing better than they’ve ever done because of us, because of me, because of what we’ve done with our administration. Better than they’ve ever done. Look at wheat prices and virtually all prices. The farmers are doing the best and one of the reasons is China is buying tremendous amounts. They want to keep us happy. They want to keep me happy. I don’t think they want to keep Biden happy. I don’t think they care too much about Biden to be honest. But they wanted to keep me happy and they were investing with our farmers. They were buying so much of our product and they continue to do so. We made a great deal.”

U.S. farmers still dependent on trade aid after China deal
“But after the virus came in, I just felt differently. A trade deal with China didn’t mean very much. To me, it was a whole different mindset. Does that make sense? I used to talk about the trade deal. I’d drive these guys crazy. That trade deal was great. Look at our farmers. They’re starting to do great. You look at beef, you look at cattle, you look at all of the different things. Corn, wheat. You look at it. What a great deal. When the virus came in, I don’t even talk about the trade. This is the first time in a long time I’ve even mentioned the trade deal. It’s really been very beneficial. But it’s so tiny compared to the devastation that’s been caused. We should reinvest 100% of all of that money that we collect from tariffs to help bring back jobs and factories from China and other places back to America and back to the great state of North Carolina where they belong.”

“Sadly, the current administration is very timid and frankly corrupt when you look at all of the money that they’ve been given as a family by China. That, instead of holding China accountable, the Biden Administration shut down the US government’s investigation into the origins of the virus shortly after taking office. What’s going on? Now, Hunter, who had no experience, walked out with $1.5 billion to manage. You know how much money you make on $1.5 billion to manage?”
Hunter Biden?
“We must never forget that Joe Biden and his family took millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party. They bought them off. They flagrantly lied about it to the American voters. If you remember, it was a big deal at the time and then all of a sudden, it was canceled.”
Trump’s Claims About Hunter Biden in China
“Biden’s attorney claims that Hunter Biden made no money off the deal while his father served as vice president, and has yet to see any return on his investment. We cannot verify either statement, and we can’t say how much Hunter Biden might ultimately make from his 10% stake in BHR. But while Trump has called on China to open an investigation, there has been no evidence presented to date that suggests either Biden did anything illegal.“

“Biden cravenly lifted sanctions on Iran. Oh, Iran. Oh. I would have had a deal in one week. One week. I even told them. I said, “You know what? Let’s get the election over with and we’ll make a deal.” It would have been a great deal.”

Remind me again what Donald Trump accomplished in dealing with North Korea?
“Biden’s also beholden to America’s enemies and so beholden, nobody’s ever seen anything, that he actually criticized Israel while the Jewish homeland was under attack by thousands and thousands of rockets and missiles launched by Iran. It was launched by Iran. It was a betrayal of Israel when you look at what happened in Congress. It used to be, 10 years ago, 12 years ago, 15 years ago, everybody was with Israel. Today, I guess it’s just not in vogue. But look at some of these radicals that they have in the House of Representatives, you have to deal with them all the time. Israel’s almost out. It’s almost out. It’s a very, very-“
Jared Kushner was supposed to bring peace between the Israelis and the Palestians.
“And I won in court. They said I didn’t win, and they were right. I lost at the lower court, I lost at the second court, and then I won at the Supreme Court, or we have a travel ban, and now they want to give it up. When the press talks about the travel ban, do you ever notice that, “He lost him court”? And they’re right. I lost here, I lost there. And then I won. We got the travel ban. They don’t mention the last one, but we have a travel ban, and they are ending the travel ban, as I understand it. So they don’t mind people coming in that like to blow things up and kill people.”

Biden White House reverses on its refugee cap reversal
“Weeks after abandoning the number, President Joe Biden once again set a 62,500 cap on refugees allowed into the United States for the rest of this fiscal year, the White House announced on Monday.”
The number delivers on an increase Biden initially promised in February, though still falls short of what he had pledged during the campaign. It marks a stunning and rapid turnaround after the White House said several weeks ago it would keep the number of refugees allowed into the United States at a historic low of 15,000 — a ceiling first implemented by President Donald Trump.

“International opinions of the United States have become markedly more positive since President Biden took over from former President Trump, according to a new survey released as Biden prepares for his debut on the global stage at a Group of Seven (G7) summit.
Of 12 nations surveyed by the Pew Research Center, a median 75 percent expressed confidence in Biden, more than four times the 17 percent who said the same of Trump in 2020. Twenty-two percent said they have no confidence in Biden, compared with 83 percent who said so of Trump at the end of his presidency.
And a median 62 percent of people in these 12 countries now have a positive view of the U.S. under Biden, according to the survey, whereas 34 percent had such a view under Trump last year.”

And on top of it, we were protecting them militarily. And how about Germany? They pay Putin, they pay Russia billions of dollars for energy. And then we protect Germany from Russia. How does that work?”

“We would have gotten at least $5 billion from them. We fully rebuilt the U.S. military and created the first new branch of the United States armed forces in 75 years, called the Space Force, so desperately needed. A lot of people, a lot of things happening right here on this Space Force too. We ended the forever wars in Iraq and Syria and Somalia and Afghanistan. We brought them back home, and this is just the finishing little. We brought them back home. We’re down to very few soldiers in any of those places.”
Afghanistan?
“So we cannot be doing what we’ve been doing for the last very long period of time. When we got into Iraq, I said, as a private individual, many years ago, “Don’t go. But if you’re going to go, keep the oil.” We didn’t keep the oil, and they make a lot of money with that oil. I know how much money they make. They make a lot of money. And we are looked upon as not very smart people and not a very smart country. So we’re doing things that nobody thought were possible. The radical Democrat Party has become consumed by the unquenchable thirst of power. You know that. I don’t know. It’s a term that I’ve heard for a long time. They want power, power, power. I don’t know. I think it’s power, it’s money. I think it’s a lot of things. I don’t think it’s just power. It’s too ridiculous. They want to take away freedom of speech. They want to take away religious liberty. And Biden has already introduced legislation in Congress to take away your guns. You know, your guns are under siege. You do know that. I told you all these things.”
We can’t keep the oil!
Trump claim to Syrian oil raises many questions

No, they don’t.
The Democratic Party Is Not Antithetical to Religion
“The GOP’s self-conscious association with Christianity has gone far at convincing Americans that voting Christian is voting Republican. But an intense focus on single issues such as abortion, gay rights, or the state of Israel, according to progressive Christians, misses the forest for the trees. These Democrats remind the faithful that love, tolerance, social justice, and fellowship form the core of Jesus’ ministry and should be broadly applied.
The Rev. William Barber, the vocal leader of the Moral Mondays movement and reviver of the Poor People’s Campaign, has challenged conservative Christians on these terms. Using one of his oft-repeated phrases, he told Jelani Cobb of The New Yorker that the so-called Moral Majority Christians “‘say so much about areas where the Bible says very little’—abortion, homosexuality—’and speak so little about the issues where the Bible says so much,’ like poverty, empathy, and justice.”
Sadly the GOP and Evangelists profess to love babies BEFORE they are born, but once they ARE born they could care less about their healthcare, nutrition, housing, safety or freedom.

“And Biden has already introduced legislation in Congress to take away your guns. You know, your guns are under siege. You do know that. I told you all these things.“
The NRA, GOP and Donald Trump repeat this lie ad nauseam. Here is what Joe Biden has introduced. No guns are being taken away.

“The Biden administration has also issued regulations to indoctrinate America’s school children with poisonous and divisive left-wing doctrines, such as critical race theory, and exact opposite of the American belief that we all are created equal in the holy image of God. We have a group of people, I don’t know where they come from, but it’s hell, I think. Just as the state house of representatives has done right here in North Carolina, Republicans at every level should move immediately to ban critical race theory in our schools. And we should ban it in workplaces. We should ban it in our states, and we should ban it in the federal government, that it should be done immediately. It should be done very quickly.”
“Critical Race Theory” is a new phrase being used by Trump and the GOP with no clue what it means.
“Washington Democrats are also pushing legislation to spend billions and billions of dollars on phony civic education, giving students academic credit to show up at protests. Can you believe that? And make themselves into left-wing activists. And how badly do they treat people that tend to be on the right compared to people that are on the radical left? Look at what happened in Portland. Nothing’s happening with these people, and they do kill people and they burn down buildings and they go after federal buildings and nothing happens. And people are damn angry about it.”
Civic Education? Donald Trump means Civic ENGAGEMENT. Trump can not pass the US Citizenship Test.
Some do not want people to practice Civic Engagement.

“If government-run schools are going to indoctrinate children with radical ideas, Republicans must immediately pass legislation to empower every parent in America to opt out of the insanity and send their child to the public private charter or religious school of their choice. The socialist Democrats quests for whatever it is they’re looking for, because nobody knows, I don’t even think they know, truly knows no bounds.”
This is the old, tired, reason to support vouchers, lie.
“The socialist Democrats” Socialism is when it helps you or me – when it helps Farmers or Big Oil it is a bailout or subsidy. The current Trade War is a great example of what used to be my GOP forgetting Adam Smith and the invisible hand because since Citizens United v FEC there is a visible hand – donors. Can we say Citizens United v FEC?
“The slander that they cause, they slander our country, disparage our founding, divide our children. And as we’ve seen time and time again in recent years, the left is willing to weaponize the law itself to persecute their political opponents. There are people in this room that have been persecuted. In New York, radical left prosecutors are right now spending vast amounts of time and money threatening families and trying to destroy the lives of innocent people, really, really good people, in their crusade to inflict pain on me, the radical left movement in New York.”
History is NOT slander. Primary sources are NOT slander. Sadly, the Dinesh D’Souzas and Candace Owenses are slandering history.
“In New York, radical left prosecutors are right now spending vast amounts of time and money threatening families and trying to destroy the lives of innocent people, really, really good people, in their crusade to inflict pain on me, the radical left movement in New York.”
Donald Trump’s Family? Donald Trump?
“There’s no place where it’s worse or more corrupt. And most importantly, to stop our movement, 75 million voters plus, plus, plus. That’s what I say. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of radical-left Democrat money had been paid to these prosecutors in the form of campaign contributions. Go get Trump. Go get him. And now, a new group of far-left Democrats are seeking the prosecutor’s office, all fighting for who will be the toughest on Trump.”
Yep! Donald Trump!
“They’re going to get elected, whoever’s the vicious the most tough. They don’t know anything about me. “We’re going to get Trump.” “What did he do?” “Well, we don’t know, but we’ll figure it out.” Washington Post reported the other day, they’ve gotten millions of pages of documents. Well, when did he do a deal? Did he do another deal? They’re going through every deal I’ve ever done, millions and millions of pages. If there’s a comma, mistake, if there’s a misspelling, it’s problems. You know what? It’s a disgrace to our country. It’s prosecutorial misconduct.”
No Donald Trump, breaking the law is a problem.
New York’s Probe Into Trump Organization Is Now A Criminal Inquiry
Trump fumes as New York inquiry now a criminal probe
“They’re in search of a crime. It’s a fishing expedition, and the Supreme Court of the United States should not have allowed it to happen. Shouldn’t have allowed it. And they mentioned, it can’t be a fishing expedition. This is the ultimate fishing expedition. It’s been a five-year long witch hunt, hoax after hoax, Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, the Mueller hoax. Look at the Mueller scam. How well did he do before Congress? It wasn’t too good, was it?”
It wasn’t a hoax.
“Lie after lie, corrupt investigation after corrupt investigation. Do you remember when they found out it was Hillary Clinton and the Democrats that paid for the dossier, the fake news dossier, the fake dossier? It was Hillary Clinton. And they got more than the great James Patterson. This guy, Christopher Steele, I don’t know who the hell he is, but he sure as hell hated me.”
Trump going with the same lies.
“It was a total phony deal paid for by the Democrats and crooked Hillary Clinton. And nothing happens to them. And by the way, where’s Durham? What happened to Durham? Where is he? Has anyone seen Durham? All of this for nothing. It’s a shame, it’s a shame. They do things a little bit differently. We’ll never let it happen.”

“There’s no better example of the Democrat and media corruption than the 2020 election hoax. As you know, the evidence is too voluminous to even mention. All you have to do is read the article in Time magazine, cover story in Time magazine. I’m not a big fan, I was on the cover a lot, perhaps a record, a lot. I got to a point if I was ever on the cover, I was on the cover of Time magazine before I did this political thing and I read every word. I said, I wonder what that means. It was actually a very good story, I used to actually get good press, can you believe it? I guess that’s how I got to be president when you think about it. But I used to get great press. But Time magazine did a story. They couldn’t help themselves. They had to brag about what they did in November. They had to brag and that story just goes 25% of the way.”

“You look at what happened on that evening when the election was won and all of a sudden vast amounts of votes were taken in just in certain states, swing states. Swing states that I was leading by a lot. Then all of a sudden, oh, something happened. It was a disgrace to our country and if you think people don’t see it, people see it. People have seen it. The 2020 presidential election, that election, the 2020 presidential election was by far the most corrupt election in the history of our country. There’s never been anything like this. They used COVID and they used the mail-in ballots to steal an election. It was the third world country election like we’ve never seen before. Look at what took place. I want to congratulate by the way, Republican state senators in Arizona and other places for their great work that they are doing in exposing this fraud.”
Easy answer. GOP voted in person. Dems voted by mail. In several of those swing states, they were not allowed to start counting the mail-in ballots until election day.

It’ll be very interesting, but I’ll tell you, and maybe they’ll find nothing. Maybe they’ll say, oh, it was a wonderful, perfect election, but maybe not. And now they’re looking at it in Pennsylvania and they’re looking at it in Georgia. And they’re looking at it in many other states because they’re saying the same things happened to us.”

“That election will go down as the crime of the century and our country is being destroyed by people who perhaps have no right to destroy it. Zuckerberg broke the law spending millions of dollars. Don’t you think he broke the law? Millions of dollars to get out the vote efforts in highly Democrat areas. He used to come to the White House. He would call, “Oh, could I have dinner with you, sir?” “Sure.” “Could I bring my wife?” “Oh, absolutely.” He actually walked into the office one day in front of numerous people, “Congratulations, sir.” “Why?” He said. “You’re number one on Facebook.” He said to me, “You’re number one on Facebook.” I said, “Thank you very much. I appreciate it.” We had a nice dinner. The day I was out he became a rather, well, I guess it’s human nature. But we can’t let our country be run by that kind of human nature can we? Zuckerberg, it’s another beauty.”
Donald Trump sounds bitter. The 2020 election will NOT go down as the Crime of the Century. New voting restrictions written by ALEC and passed by state legislators WILL be remember as the Crime of the Century.
Who is ALEC you ask?
“And I can tell you, and you’ll see it because more and more it’s coming out. The things that happened in the recent election, dead people voting, dead people. Worse is dead people voting who had to apply to vote. It’s true. You had people that are dead that applied to vote. And by the way, I’m talking about thousands of people, thousands and thousands of people, dead people. Illegal aliens voting. Indians getting paid to vote in certain states, including Arizona and Nevada, getting paid to vote. You’re not allowed to get paid to vote. It’s a terrible thing that’s going on. We have to clean up those rolls, we have to do so many things or we’re not going to have a country. If you don’t have election integrity and if you don’t have strong borders, our country can be run like a dictatorship and that’s what they’d like to do.”

Trump Campaign Takes Aim At Nevada Native Vote Project
“The campaign is accusing the project of buying votes by handing out food and T-shirts outside a polling site on Election Day. However, De Leon said the laws they’re basing that accusation on is from the Tammany Hall days when people were actually paid to vote. Because of that, the law is rarely enforced.
De Leon also said the second problem with the Trump campaign’s lawsuit is that it is common for stores like Starbucks and Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream to hand out free coffee or ice cream cones to people who have a ‘I Voted’ sticker.
And finally, the Nevada Native Vote Project’s events were open to everyone.
“Even if the advertisement seems to imply that you needed to have an ‘I Vote’ sticker, what really ultimately matters is whether or not the event was open to everybody,” she said, “If the event was open to everybody then it’s not illegal.” The lawsuit also accuses the Nevada Native Vote Project of displaying Biden campaign materials on social media, saying they encouraged people to vote for Biden – they didn’t.”
“We have to clean up those rolls, we have to do so many things or we’re not going to have a country.“

“We all know what happened with the election and we can never ever let that happen again. And we’re going to go forward and we’re going to continue to look, and things are being found that is not even believable. But we have to do that because without going back, you’re not going to go forward. The thing that I get most is, “Sir, we can’t let that happen again. If we’re going to work and work, and spend money, and make contributions. Sir, will the same thing happen in 2022 to Ted and to other people? Will the same thing happen has happened in ’20?” We have to be able to say absolutely not. That’s why I love what they’ve done in Texas. I love what they’re doing in Florida and done in Florida. I would like to see Georgia be much tougher, they don’t have signature verification, they don’t have things, that Georgia has to be tougher. But I love what’s going on in so many states, 41 different states. Because they saw what happened in this last disaster and they don’t want it to happen again.”
There is a concerted effort to suppress the vote AND control who COUNTS the votes.

How Georgia’s voting law works
What Georgia’s new voting law really does — 9 facts
6 is the key!
“6. State election board will have new powers and won’t be chaired by the secretary of state“
Georgia’s Republican secretary of state rejects call for resignation by two GOP senators
7 and 8 are important too. I will show you how in a few minutes
7. Results are to be reported faster
8. Voters may call a new hotline with complaints alleging voter intimidation or illegal activity
Georgia election law explained: Here’s what the law does, doesn’t do
“Allows the state to take control of what it calls “underperforming” local election systems
Disallows volunteers from giving away food and drink to voters waiting in lines”
We know which counties will have “underperforming” election commissions.
Joe Biden won in Georgia, flipping a state Donald Trump won in 2016.
Some Fulton Commissioners Launch Plan To Fight Georgia Voting Law
“One of the most controversial provisions outlines a method where the State Election Board — now with a majority of seats appointed by the legislature — can investigate and temporarily suspend failing local elections boards that have multiple repeated problems. The law was drafted with Fulton in mind, especially after the June 2020 primary that saw catastrophic wait times in majority-Black communities, problems with voting equipment and a meltdown of the absentee ballot process overwhelmed by record turnout.”
Create the long lines, have people complain about them, then take over the counting of the votes. Remember 8 above? A hotline to call in complaints? Remember
“One of the most controversial provisions outlines a method where the State Election Board — now with a majority of seats appointed by the legislature — can investigate and temporarily suspend failing local elections boards that have multiple repeated problems”
Remember 7 above?
“The new law codifies that change, meaning workers will be able to start processing, but not tabulating, absentee ballots 15 days before Election Day for future elections. County officials will be allowed to start tabulating absentee ballots after 7 a.m. on Election Day, but results can’t be reported until polls close. Counties must now report returns from absentee ballots by 5 p.m. the day after Election Day or else they could face an investigation.
The new law also requires election officials to post the total number of ballots cast, including Election Day, early voting and absentee ballots, by 10 p.m. on Election Day. The intent is to provide a clearer picture of how many votes were cast early in the counting process. Under the new law, election workers will not be able to stop counting ballots once they’ve started, so that they can produce faster results. With the new procedures comes a shorter timeline for counties to certify results: six days, rather than 10.”
If they would let them start COUNTING the early votes BEFORE election day?
When states can begin processing and counting absentee/mail-in ballots, 2020
So the GOP wants to target certain counties, and take over the counting of votes in those counties.
The plan for some time
“We can’t have illegal aliens allowed to vote. Strong protection of poll watchers, our poll watchers, our poor, poor poll watchers. What happened to them in Philadelphia, what happened to them in Detroit, where they were literally thrown out of election for days, and were actually afraid for their lives. And we can not have dropboxes paid for by Facebook and Zuckerberg. Where, by the way, massive numbers, 95, 96% of the vote is for Joe Biden, doesn’t happen. You ever see these dropboxes, some of them came back very late. They got lifted, taken. Where are they a day later? Where are they? Oh, they’re coming. Oh great, that’s wonderful. 96% for Joe Biden. We must eliminate the absurdity of mass mail-in voting and people should vote in person on Election Day. Not over weeks and months where all sorts of things can happen and they’re not good things for our country. And there should have to be a legitimate reason for someone to vote absentee. There are people that deserve it. They’re sick, they’re at a certain age, they can’t make it, and they love our country. There’s a certain group of people, military, but to do what you did, where you were sending out millions and millions…”

To send out millions of ballots, to allow that to happen to our country… We know the radical left will stop at nothing in their efforts to destroy the America we love, but with the help of righteous American Patriots like all of you in this room, they will fail.

Here in North Carolina, across the country ,the Republican party will continue to fight for strong families, safe communities, and secure and sovereign borders. We will fight for more jobs, lower taxes, and pro-American trade deals that result in more North Carolina workers, forging more products, stamped with beautiful, beautiful phrases, but in particular made in the USA, Mr. Furniture Manufacturer. We will shut down outsourcing, bring back our supply chains, crack down on trade cheaters and violators, and ensure that America, not China, dominates the future of the world. We will protect innocent life. We will defend our glorious constitution and we will uphold the Judeo-Christian values and principles of our nation’s founding.
Donald Trump did not accomplish any of this in his four years in office.
“We will defend our glorious constitution and we will uphold the Judeo-Christian values and principles of our nation’s founding.“
We will break up the big tech monopolies, reject left-wing cancel culture, restore free speech in America, and demand free, fair and honest transparent elections. We will strengthen our military, support our great police, and always take care of our amazing veterans. Do you know that we got a 92% approval rating with respect to the VA. They rated us 92% approval rating. It’s never been anywhere even near that number. Very proud of that. With the American pride that fills our souls, we will teach our children to love their country, honor our history, and always respect our great American flag.
The VA?
“Tomorrow marks the 77th anniversary of one of the most epic military trial in the history of the world, the allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day. As we remember this incredible achievement, let us summon the spirit of generations of Americans before us who gave their blood, sweat, and tears for our beloved country. All of us in this room inherit the legacy of the selfless patriots who won the battles, crossed the oceans, forged the steel, made the breakthroughs, climbed the summits, these great, beautiful summits, tamed the frontiers and seized the victories that built America into the single greatest nation in the history of the world. That’s where we want to keep it. That is our magnificent American inheritance, and there is nothing like it anywhere in the world, and there never will be. Let us go forward tonight, moved by their sacrifice, motivated by their example, inspired by their resolve, committed to their values and more determined than ever to make America prouder, freer, stronger, and greater than ever before. Thank you, North Carolina. God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you.”
Trump didn’t even mention our lost veterans in his now-defunct blog.
Whew! This was very therapeutic. By the way, I told you so,
We will defend our glorious constitution and we will uphold the Judeo-Christian values and principles of our nation’s founding.
