Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had canceled a press conference scheduled for next week to release a report into the 2020 election in Georgia, saying his attorneys would put his arguments in court filings instead.

            Also it failed to go off on enough of a random tangent. The Obama bit should be about three paragraphs.

      He filed them right next to his healthcare plan and the infrastructure plan, to be released “next week”.

        Yeah, but those are understandably delayed while he prepares his tax returns to be released “soon” (as of Jan 24, 2016).

    He just needed to feed the idea of it to his base. They won’t know or care that it was an imaginary report, and will never hear that the press conference was canceled.

    There seems to be a long established pattern where Trump daydreams about irrefutable and overwhelming exoneration and then decides it should be true and tells everyone about it. Narcissists have a tendency to create shitstorms and then daydream about escapist fantasies to evade the consequences they always create for themselves.

      It’s a proven pattern as well - the braindead followers see him tweet the words ‘REPORT’ and ‘EXONERATION’ and they assume it’s a a done deal and don’t bother to follow up to verify the actual evidence.

      If it was Putin I’d say it’s probably an intentional strategy, but with Trump it’s probably more lizard brain instinct gained from his years of grifting.

        I mean, it’s your classic real estate sales person. You’ll say and do anything to make the sale, and afterwards you try to weasel out of your fancy promises.

          Normally with a state agency it all comes tumbling down the moment you actually view the property.

          Oh I see, so when you said picturesque what you meant was microscopic and when you said a lively night life what you meant was it’s in the middle of a gang turf war.

            But when you’re selling a building that’s yet to be built, people hand you money without you having to show anything. It’s why developers are such scumbags.

    @tst123

    Ofc he did. His lawyers probably threatened to quit if held it.

    But it would have been funny as hell to watch multiple prosecutors use his lies against him in court.

      Oh that is still going to happen friend, don’t you worry. He may have canceled this press conference, but there is a never ending supply of other stupid things Trump has said on video (and/or) written down to choose from.

      “Rather than releasing the Report on the Rigged & Stolen Georgia 2020 Presidential Election on Monday, my lawyers would prefer putting this, I believe, Irrefutable & Overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings,” Trump said on Truth Social.

      His lawyers assured them they’re totally going to put it all in their formal report, and then promptly tossed it in the shredder when he left the room.

      They just said that they had no formal filings before the court until they have had a chance to review all of the evidence.

      Kind of one of the reasons why they want to push the trial to 2026. So, yeah, they are totally not going to do that any time soon, if ever.
