Former President Donald Trump weighed in on the upcoming gubernatorial recall election in California, reaching the conclusion that it is is “probably rigged,” as voters continue to cast their ballots.
It’s a familiar line from his playbook, delivered shamelessly on Tuesday to Right-Wing outlet Newsmax.
The election seeks to remove Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom. Mail-in voting expected to favor Newsom is well underway, and the former president continues to spread unproven claims of voter fraud.

“Well, it’s probably rigged,” Trump said. “They’re sending out all ballots. It’s all—the ballots are, you know, mail-out, mail-in ballots.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“In fact, I guess you even have a case where you can make your own ballot,” Trump said.
“When that happens, nobody’s gonna win except these Democrats,” he concluded. “The one thing they’re good at is rigging elections, so I predict it’s a rigged election.”

So Boringly predictable. Any time Trump knows he or Republicans will lose he starts screaming that the election might be rigged.
On the bright side, if Trump is already panicking it says that the Republicans internal polls are looking really bad for them.

Last I heard nearly 57% of likely voters were in favor of Newsom staying in office.
BoomerMyles
I thought that too. Numbers must be looking good for Newsom.

He claimed that the 2016 election would be rigged, but had zero questions when he won the electoral college vote.
But there is clearly no consequence for this man making destabilizing claims like this with no evidence. DOJ won’t do shit. Upper level bureaucrats are too chicken shit to make a “partisan move,” even though this is fundamentally damaging to our democracy.

Who cares what a loser says? He’s a criminal and complete waste of carbon.

Trump cheats at everything, so he assumes everyone else does too.
ShiningSex
EVERYTHING IS RIGGED THAT REPUBICANS LOSE? WOW. HOW DARE US BE FAIR.
TRUMP IS A MORON AND SO ARE HIS FOLLOWERS.
AxelDC
I never want to see TFG’s fat face again. Stop reporting on his lies.
Kangol2
Lying moron. Don the Con is also now lying about 9/11 again, claiming two firemen helped hustle him and others from a building near the WTC towers after he heard a “crack.” He had previously claimed he was watching the events unfold from Trump Tower, etc. Don the Con is a treasonous, racist psychopath who should be behind bars.

Make the orange monster go away. Have Sarah Huckabee Sanders sit on his face while Miss Pittypat blows him.
BoomerMyles
Sarah F*ckabee Sanders would flatten his skull if she sat on it.
G-Man
Funny I haven’t seen any home made ballots. I don’t know why they give that fool the time of day he only spews lies and mis-truths.
MISTERJETT
Queerty, please no more close-up photos of this lying asshole. he’s gruesome.
Mr-DJ
He just keeps proving how stupid he is – in this case about voting, and ballots. But he knows how many other stupid people will believe any garbage he spews from his tiny lying mouth.
barryaksarben
It is laughable that he says the dems have to cheat to win since the republicans are the ones so afraid of the voters that they are trying to stop as many voters as possible from ever getting to vote
petej
trumpism for “newsom will probably win”

Gavin Gruesome is a horrible governor (witness the amount of homeless in his state and the high taxes which begs the question “Who is getting all the money that is coming in?”. But I still wouldn’t vote for any of the clown-car Republicans to steal the election from him.
Republicans are fascists and Democrats are corrupt toadies to the corporations. What a choice!
barryaksarben
there have been homeless in california forever and Newsom is not to blame for that
Cam
Let’s see, when Republicans ran California there were homeless people and the state ran a huge deficit.
Since Democrats have taken over, California has homeless people and is running massive deficits, including a nearly $40 billion dollar surplus last year while red states like Kansas and Oklahoma went bankrupt.
But thank you for exposing your new troll screename so obviously.
Tombear
I have voted NO, in the recall election. My vote was tracked and counted. Where was the voting irregularities Trump is so fond of harping about? All of the Republicans who are running are ass kissing Trump supporters or nut cases. I looked into voting for Catlyn but she is a Trump nut. The right one.
Heywood Jablowme
As in Arizona, they will “audit” your ballot to look for imaginary bamboo fibers. 🙁

No one is a bigger loser than Trump if he and his party were and continue to be the victims of rigged elections. The Democrats control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, yet they can’t get hardly anything done, but nevertheless they’re outsmarting the Republicans and Trump at the election box whenever the Republicans don’t win. What a bunch of losers Trump and these Republicans are – sad!
macattack
I agree – who cares what the Orange One says. He lies etc. BUT his “BASE” will listen. It’s time we stop reporting what he has to say or anything else. We are giving him a platform. If we stop reporting him – maybe he’ll go AWAY
woodroad34
“Rigged “ as in the Arizona recount or the phony Stop the Steal scam that saw donations go directly into his pocket, or the 2016 election that propped him up as a wannabe dictator or the gerrymandering in Texas, or the attempted coup on 1/6/21….that kind of “rigged”?
butchqueen
Newsome is my HOT DADDY!
odowd4sure
Does anybody, more than myself, dislike the way he repeats himself sentence after sentence? And his sidekick Desantis speaks the exact same way….coincidence? Can’t he just go away?
BoomerMyles
Registered Dems outnumber repugs over 2 to 1, so how can it be rigged if Newsom wins.
But again, repugs never could do math.
And (white) repugs aren’t going to storm the Sacramento Capitol when Larry Elder loses. Most of the repugs in this state HATE him.
wikidBSTN
He said the same thing about the 2016 election – before he won.
Dumb as an f’ing stump.
Heywood Jablowme
If Democrats are supposedly so good at “rigging” elections, how come the House is only 220 D to 212 R? Obviously we should have “rigged” it to get a much bigger majority than that!

Dear Donald : Do the USA and the world a favor and DIE !!

Better men have been assinated yet this orange turd still walks the earth…doesn’t seem fair.
