The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged. An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!

>>Must go with Election Night!
This tweet actually confuses me. If a commentator said it, I’d go, “Of course.” But when a president says it, it has a different import. We’ve all considered elections sacrosanct (unless, of course, you’re a Democrat, and then they’re opportunities), but Trump seems to be saying something massively significant and earthshaking. Yet it’s hard to believe that the courts or congress would actually allow anything earthshaking to happen. So does that make Trump merely to be talking into a strong wind? That WOULD be sad.
