I am seeing more of this sort of headline;
Hysteria Over Trump Not Accepting Election Results
My mind immediately goes back to the 2016 presidential debates when the same question was in vogue. At the time it had not occurred to ask Hillary Clinton if she was American enough to accept the outcome of the election because no one envisioned Donald Trump winning.
Thinking about this in a satirical manner coupled with facts became interesting. I propose this story for entertainment but it's closer to reality than you may think.
The players :
President Donald J. Trump
President-Elect Joe Biden
A Commissioned Officer
An enlisted Marine guard
The scenario :
On November 3, 2020, Joe Biden becomes president-elect as a result of the Electoral College vote.
On January 20, 2021 President-Elect Joe Biden takes the oath mandated by the Constitution.
"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, to protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
President Joe Biden enters is new home at the White House and encounters an entrenched Ex-President Trump ordering the Officer to have the Marine guard remove Joe Biden.
A statute also requires Commissioned military personnel to take an oath.
"I solemnly swear, that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion: So help me God."
The oath for enlisted military personnel repeats the preceding affirmation,
"I solemnly swear, that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same,
(with this addition to the oath)
I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
The subtle distinction between the officer’s oath and the enlisted man’s oath is that officers are bound to disobey any order that violates our Constitution, while enlisted personnel are bound to obey only lawful orders and do not have to distinguish between constitutional and unconstitutional orders. The constitutionality of the order is the job of the Officer, not the enlisted man.
In this scenario, the Officer tells the president that his order is unconstitutional because he is no longer Commander-in-Chief. The Officer then orders the Marine guard to remove Donald Trump and the guard will because he has received a lawful order.
Of course he is going to leave. On January 20, 2025 after shaking his son’s hand, the 46th President of the United States.
Hillary never accepted the results.
That gap toothed idiot thinks she’s the governor of Georgia.
They are setting this up to pressure Trump out when THEY don’t accept the result.
Of course he is going to leave..in 2025 when his term is up, he will leave..and Tucker Carlson will run for President and win by a landslide
If they go with mail he won’t have to leave, it will take 4 years to determine the results so he will stay during that period.
The left is already playing the “Trump won but he really didnt win” BS, just like they did in 2016..proves the polls are total BS..they know they wont win..they know people are LYING to pollsters..I know many who deliberately lie and say they are voting for Biden out of fear of being killed but in reality are voting for Trump..I would say the same thing
Silliness and projection brought to you by the party of Democrats who attempted a coup bc Hillary wasn’t elected, looted the White House when Al Gore lost, etc.
The party that has demonstrated it does not believe in the transition of power are the Democrats
“If they go with mail he won’t have to leave, it will take 4 years to determine the results so he will stay during that period.”
That’s not the way the situation is outlined in the Constitution.
Lol
Whatever the Electoral College decides, end of subject. Any disagreement with that result needs a lethal response, no matter who.
If there is significant evidence of systemic or widespread election election rigging and vote harvesting, and if the electoral swing is close enough, then he has a responsibility to the voters who will be disenfranchised of their legal and proper votes to fight the corrupt election results.
This BS was first floated during the debate with Hillary after the Access Hollywood tape was released when Trump was asked if he would abide by the results of the 2016 election. Instead of it being Trump who would not abide, it was Hillary and the rest of the leftards who could not accept her loss.
True that !
As a matter of fact, I have heard that the Democrats have never acknowledged their presidential loss
going all the way back to Richard Milhouse Nixon.
This is a case of projection by the party of "Resist".
The real question, that I wish the President has asked Wallace is: When he wins re-election, will his opponents finally accept defeat?
People are so worried about Trump not abiding by the results of the election when the Left are actually not abiding by the results of the election and are doing just about everything in their power to usurp him.
Obvious to me he waffles when asked that question for one reason and one reason alone. If it was known that the Rats beat him by cheating, that is reason for him to stay until the cheating issue is resolved. And it is quite clear to me the Rats have invested quite a lot in preparation to cheat and steal the election. The difference in Trump and the Rats is respect for the Constitution. Trump respects it enough to derail the theft of an election. The Rats disrespect the Constitution so much they think nothing of pulling out all the stops to win by cheating . . . moral codes that are the polar opposite.
My sources tell me Trump intends to serve 3 terms then hand over control to Don. Jr.
Democrats like the Clintons never wanted to leave but the Trumps have a life.
This is to get out in front of their fraud, they did the same thing in 2016. It’s to preemptively discredit anyone pointing out that 110% of voters in certain Florida districts ALL vote democrat.
And at the end of Don Jr.’s 30 year term he’ll hand control over to Baron.
