The only real case of voter fraud was committed by who? That's right, you guessed, republicans.
A basic manipulation tactic of Trump's and the GOP, is to accuse your opponent of the exact thing that you are doing, so when you get caught doing that thing yourself, it doesn’t seem that drastic. Republicans know that when everyone votes they lose. The Repub party may not have the numbers, but they most certainly have the money. A large majority of money from Big Business and billion dollar corporations is funneled to Repub candidates. This money is used to buy republican politicians for the purpose of giving corporations control over our government.
In 2019, the NC Republican operative at the center of an absentee ballot fraud scheme that led the state to order a rerun of a congressional election was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice. The operative, Leslie McCrae Dowless, was charged with three felony counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of conspiring to commit obstruction of justice and two counts of possession of absentee ballots.
Allegations that operatives working for Dowless illegally collected, and sometimes filled in, absentee ballots on behalf of Republican Mark Harris’ campaign emerged shortly after the Nov. 6 election. They caused the state to hold off certifying Harris’ apparent narrow victory over Democrat Dan McCready.
During 4 days hearings, the state Board of Elections heard evidence of a well-funded and well-organized campaign to tip the election for the state’s 9th District in the U.S. House of Representatives, which stretches southeast from Charlotte.
Ballot fraud is extremely rare. But when this case was uncovered in a congressional race in 2018, orchestrated by Republicans, Trump and other republicans looked the other way.
The election fraud committed in NC was the largest case in modern American history. Republican Mark Harris, hired a felon, Leslie McCrae Dowless, who promised to deliver unbelievable absentee ballot margins, as he had done in past elections. Dowless hired workers who went to voters’ doorsteps in poor, rural Bladen County, N.C., and “helped” them request, fill out and turn in their ballots. That help included forging signatures and filling in vote choices, and possibly even discarding ballots. The operation mostly targeted black voters. It also appeared the county elections board may have also leaked early vote totals to Republicans.
Altogether, it was an egregious attack on our democracy, in an election where the margin was only 905 votes. Voters on both sides of the aisle were horrified. But not the Republican Party. When evidence of fraud emerged in the party’s primary, it's state director, Dallas Woodhouse, turned a blind eye; later, when evidence emerged in the general-election race, he backed Mark Harris, in a lawsuit to be seated in Congress without an investigation 😲 while attacking the bipartisan state elections board and blaming Dems for the fraud. 😲
It turned out that even the local U.S. attorney, who was appointed by Trump, had failed to act on warnings by the state elections board that Dowless had stolen votes in a different race two years before. Instead, the attorney’s office went on a fishing expedition for fraud committed by immigrants, under the guidance of Jeff Sessions.
Trump and the GOP love to claim that voters commit fraud, even though it almost never happens, BUT, when one of their own was caught committing the worst case of voter fraud in modern history, they weren’t concerned at all. Just one more page from the Republican Party’s dirty elections playbook.

Twitter has shut down multiple accounts that it says were operated by a white supremacist group posing as liberal groups encouraging violence.
A white supremacist group created a fake Twitter account, posed as the Antifa movement and called for violence during the ongoing protests sweeping the nation, Twitter said.
“Tonight’s the night comrades," the group tweeted on Sunday. “Tonight we say ‘f--k the city’ and we move into residential areas... the white hoods... and we take what’s ours.”
Twitter said the white supremacist group Identity Evropa used one fake account, @Antifa_US, to call for violence in majority white suburbs, in the name of the Black Lives Matter movement.
"This account violated our platform manipulation and spam policy, specifically the creation of fake accounts. We took action after the account sent a Tweet inciting violence and broke the Twitter Rules" the company said.
Twitter said it has also targeted other fake accounts run by Identity Evropa. The company said the accounts posted hateful tweets targeting race, religion and sexual orientation.
Twitter has seen a wave of fake accounts spreading false information about the ongoing protests in recent days.
Trump and his supporters have claimed, without evidence, that Antifa is behind the violence seen in some of the protests nationwide.
In an internal FBI situation report, the FBI’s Washington Field Office found no intel evidence indicating Antifa involvement or presence in the violence that occurred on May 31 during the D.C.-area protests. That same day, Trump announced on Twitter that he would designate “Antifa” a terrorist organization, even though antifa is not an organized group.
But not surprisingly, the report did warn that individuals from a far-right social media group had called for far-right provocateurs to attack federal agents, and use automatic weapons against protesters. A Department of Homeland Security intelligence note warned law-enforcement officials that a white supremacist channel on the encrypted messaging app Telegram encouraged its followers to incite violence to start a race war during the protests.
Antifa, short for anti-facist, poses a threat to a devout fascist like Trump, so it only makes sense that Trump would want to go after them. Adolf did the same thing to opponents of his fascist regime. It's only natural that a fascist would view any anti-facist group has his enemy.

Trump is far more corrupt , and more dangerous to the country than Nixon ever was. Trump has displayed all the common traits and behavior of a sociopath. Unlike Nixon, there are no limits or boundaries that Trump won't cross, in order to achieve his self-serving goals.
Traits of a sociopath:
Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
Incapacity for Love
Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

DJT does not care about anyone or anything other than himself, and his own desires.
A Trump quote from 2004, in response to a Larry King Live caller asking him how he handles stress during a crisis.
Trump: “I try and tell myself it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. If you tell yourself it doesn’t matter, like you do shows, you do this, you do that and then you have earthquakes in India where 400,000 people get killed. Honestly, it doesn’t matter."
Spoken like the true sociopath that he is. And Trump meets pretty much every diagnostic criterion of a sociopath..
● Manipulative and Conning:
They never recognize the rights of others, and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
● Grandiose Sense of Self:

● Pathological Lying:

● Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt:
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, he has victims, and accomplices, who will also end up as victims. ( Cohen, Manafort, Stone, Flynn, Rudy) The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
● Shallow Emotions:
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced, and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would usually upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
● Callousness/Lack of Empathy:

When it comes to being a sociopath, Trump checks all the boxes.

Exactly who does Kellyanne think she's fooling?😄 She and Trump actually believe they can get away with lying during the age of the Internet. WRONG!!!! Fact checking Trump and Kellyanne's lies are too easy.
In Trump's book, The Art of the Deal, he brags about being an out of comtrol violent kid.
"Even in elementary school, I was a very assertive, aggressive kid. In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye — I punched my music teacher because I didn't think he knew anything about music and I almost got expelled. I'm not proud of that but it's clear evidence that even early on I had a tendency to stand up and make my opinions known in a very forceful way."
During his rally In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on the day of the Iowa caucuses, he told his crowd of cultists he would pay their legal fees if they engaged in violence against protesters.
"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell ... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise," he said on Feb. 1, 2016.
At a Las Vegas rally later that month, he said security guards were too gentle with a protester. "He's walking out with big high-fives, smiling, laughing," Trump said. "I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you."
A similar situation unfolded at a rally that month in Warren, Michigan.
"Get him out," he said of a protester. "Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court. Don't worry about it."

This is the same guy who created a fake charity foundation and a fake university for the purpose of fleecing Americans out of their money. A con-man till the end.
When it comes to Trump, I'll take the word of Trump's own sister, who has known him his entire life? She knows him better, and longer, than anyone alive today. And if she wouldn't support him as president, why on earth should anyone else?
In the released audio of Trump’s sister Maryanne Trump Barry, she describes Trump as being among other things, unprepared, a brat, and cruel.
“It’s the phoniness of it all. It’s the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel,” Barry told her niece.
“He has no principles, None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.”
Trump's sister was aghast at how he operated as president. “His god-d tweets and lying, oh my God,” she said. “I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy s***. What they’re doing with kids at the border."
Trump's sister also explained how ”She didn’t know of anything Donald had ever accomplished on his own, but noted that “he has five bankruptcies” which he achieved all by himself." “You CAN'T trust him,” she added.
She also made it clear that she was still upset by how Trump chose to celebrate himself at their father’s funeral in 1999.
"During that ceremony, Donald spoke more about his own accomplishments than his father’s life," Maryanne said..
“Donald was the only one who didn’t speak about Dad,” she said. She told Mary that “I don’t want any of my siblings to speak at my funeral. And that’s all about Donald and what he did at Dad’s funeral. I don’t know. It was all about him.”
