Trump Puts Himself in Legal Jeopardy By Admitting He Lost the 2020 Election.

“We got the most votes of anybody — of any sitting president in history, and he beat us by a whisker,” Trump said Aug 30. He has made similar comments in other appearances in the past few days.

“It was probably politically smart for Trump to admit he lost the election, but legally, that sure could have consequences,” said Tom Dupree, who was a deputy assistant attorney general in the George W. Bush administration.

“The whole thrust of (Special Counsel) Jack Smith’s indictment is Trump was trying to defraud and to cheat and to steal an election he didn’t win. If he’s now admitting (that) maybe he actually knew all along that he lost, well, he’s not really defending the accuracy of the vote. He really was trying to steal something.”

Certainly at this point, he's a dope. The problem is everyone keeps "gifting him" the respect that he's sane, sensible, and coherent. It's literally watching a mentally impaired person trying to navigate his way through the real-world and he just doesn't have that capability because he's none of those things. It's really sad in the way that it's seeing how the human mind can deteriorate to the point of no return. And, he's only getting progressively worse. He is fading fast and that's not intended to be a throw-away insult at him. His mind is shot.

@MarkPaul

Yes, which makes the chance of him being elected even more dangerous. And there's no comfort in that JD Vance would be Vice President and potentially succeeding Trump mid-term instead of someone with at least somewhat of moral compass in Mike Pence.

@beckyromero Yes, agreed. This is scripted for him to lose. There just can't be any improvisation or adlibbing. Everyone needs to stay with the lines as scripted.
