Donald Trump has suggested that if it were not for his former Vice President, Mike Pence, he’d still be President today.
On January 6, Pence famously declined Trump’s request that he block Congress’s certification of Biden’s election as the 46th U.S. president.
Trump said Pence had the power to discard the electoral college votes, but Pence, in a three-page letter to congress members, said he did not have unilateral power to do so.
Trump, who has consistently – without credible evidence – alleged voter fraud during last November’s election, did a call-in interview with Real America’s Voice yesterday. He was asked to comment on his relationship with Mike Pence.

“I’ve always liked Mike and I’m very disappointed that he didn’t send it back to the legislature. When you have more votes than you have voters in some cases, and when you have the kind of things that were known then, I was disappointed that he didn’t send it back,” said Trump. “I felt that he had the right to send it back and he should have sent it back. That’s my opinion.”
“I think you would have found that you might very well have a different president right now if he sent it back.”

This is not the first time Trump had suggested Pence lost him the Presidency. On the morning of January 6, as he spoke to a rally of supporters in Washington ahead of the congressional declaration of Biden’s win, Trump said, “If Mike Pence does the right thing we win the election … All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify and we become president and you are the happiest people.”
Following the rally, some of those then took part in the storming of the Capitol building.
Pence has not issued any response to Trump’s latest comments.

Since leaving the White House, Trump has retreated to his Mar-A-Lago mansion in Florida. He’s unlikely to be impressed by the news that Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, yesterday beat him in a straw poll of conservatives when asked who they wanted to see become President in 2024.
The poll took place at the Western Conservative Summit in Colorado – the biggest annual gathering of conservatives outside of DC. Delegates present and also online were asked to pick favorites from a list of 31 possibilities.
DeSantis led the poll on 75%, against Trump on 72%, followed by Ted Cruz on 42%, and Mike Pompeo on 40%.

Of course, his epic mismanagement of the worst pandemic in 800 years had NOTHING to do with it! (Not to mention all of his other missteps as President). No, it’s all because Mike Pence followed the law. How dare he!

How long did it take Trump’s lawyers to train him to say “that’s my opinion” after every pack of election lies?
He blames Mike Pence. I thank him.

It’s all about the Donald.
The rest of us just exist in his work.
Mr. Stadnick
It couldn’t have been that you are a liar, a cheat and a complete idiot that lost the election for you. No it was the milquetoast you brought on to be your yes man.

I wish the medical community could by pass thier ethics and tell everyone how crazy Donald Trump really is.

I’d like to think he loses a few supporters with every crazy statement.
I’d like to think that.

Why do we have to hear about this Russian asset garbage person Don the Con??? Why even repeat his treasonous nonsense on this site? His goons were calling to “hang” Pence, a loyal, diehard, devout Christian soldier for Don the Con. This is what he gets in return. It’s disgusting even to have to think about the criminal filth that defiled that White House during the Con years, and the less we hear from and about this psychopath Drumpf, unless it’s about him being tried and convicted for his innumerable crimes, the better!

Pence deserves what he gets. That’s what happens when you get into bed with the devil

Ahhhh, the teenie weenie (literally) little wannbe dictator had his ooooowie-doooowie feelings hurt. Good riddance to be rid of him and his inferiority complex and stupidity…and his crime family.

One thing all these problem people that Trump loves to trash have in common:
Trump hired them.
He must be one crappy manager to hire so many problems.

I’m grateful each time Trump trashes another Republican. Whenever Trump denigrates a member of the GOP, he diminishes their chances of continuing a career in public office. Eventually, all the Trump supporters may conclude that no one except their divine cult leader is worthy, and they’ll stop bothering to vote at all. That outcome – though it’s probably too good to come true – would certainly please me.

And it’s funny that the Republicans wants Joe to pass a cognitive test. Hell Trump needs to be locked in a looney bin.
My2CentsWorth
With the people who support him.
ShiningSex
Maybe he should blame his racism, sexism, anti-LGBT views as the reason.
He’s a joke and so are his supporters.
spunkfunker
It’s much better is you just filter anything he says through the voice of grandpa Simpson nowadays!
Itsonlythetruth
Boo hoo Trump crying again that he didn’t lose. It’s all Mike Pences fault.
Metro135
Can’t he please just DIE ALREADY?
BaltoSteve
I wouldn’t want to wish that. After all, then he becomes a martyr. Perhaps live out the rest of his life in a non-responsive state. Might do the gold digging whore some good to change her husband’s diapers.

So says Don the CRIMINAL.. He’s a disastrous manager ( 300,000 Covid DEATHS and counting ) / he crashed the world economy, he tried to install a one party /one person FASCIST DICTATORSHIP in the USA.. He’s a psychopathic /sociopathic INSANE horrible person. And that’s the tip of the iceberg.. Hopefully he’ll be DEAD DEAD DEAD before Nov 2022 ..And God willing ALL people VOTE against ANY republican in ANY county,city,state,federal election. They republithugs NEED to be thrown out of power all across America. They’re EVIL pigs…
