Why trump suggested he may delay the election

[duforsure]

Maybe his dementia is getting worse, and he couldn't remember the Constitution prevents that from being allowed, or Putin suggested he try that. Either way he exposed himself as not fit for office. His saying one thing one day then saying the opposite sometimes the same day, sometimes claiming he never said it is examples of his delusions, and he's getting worse.

1. Nah, it was a distraction as usual.

With an economic collapse twice the size of the Great Depression, his continued idiocy on the pandemic and President Obama stealing the spotlight, he had to make it about himself.

2. Also 'a call' to the base, to be ready 'for anything'?

3. He's dumb as a fence post to start with...

So it's hard to tell what's dementia and what's his life long disdain for anything intellectual or complex. Putin could have planted that seed simply to cause trouble or Russian experts on the US may not fully grasp how our system actually works.

4. He is distracting everyone from his failures

5. He knows that once the seed of doubt is planted

It will be easy for him to declare the election as flawed. He will probably call for all mail in votes to be disqualified and throw the nation into a real panic. 2000 in Florida is a small window into what could be coming.
