Arrogance Or Fear: Trump Appears To Tell People Not To Vote In Fox News Call-In Because He Doesn’t “Need The Votes”

Is that so?

We’re really not sure if this is arrogance, desperation, deep-seated fear, or a heady combination of all of the above — but Donald J. Trump now appears to be “instructing” his supporters not to even worry about voting for him, because he doesn’t “need” the votes, he already has “so many votes.”

For the record, no one has voted yet, election day is still 103 days away. But I digress…

The bizarre proclamation came during Trump’s recent call-in interview on the Fox & Friends show.

Trump began to talk about how they have “lawyers at every poll booth” before he appeared to switch his train of thought gears and began to rant, “In fact, my instruction — we don’t need the votes. I have so many votes,” appearing to actually tell people that he’s doing sooo well, they need not even bother with voting for him at all.

As he attempted to back up his own ridiculous claims, he began to brag over the phone, “I’m in Florida now and I drove to another location yesterday, and every house has a Trump/Vance sign on it. Every single house. There’s not a house that we passed that doesn’t. We are… We have the votes.”

The Trump tirade was so bizarre that even some of the Fox hosts began to shift around and offer up anxious giggles in response. But nevertheless, Donald kept going.

“Everybody, everybody has — It’s amazing, the spirit. And I’ll say this. We had two elections, the first election we did great, the second election we did much better than the first election. But this election has more spirit than I’ve ever seen ever before. And that’s because they’ve seen how bad these people are at government. They’re destroying our country.”

At this point, the Fox hosts begin to try to cut the ex-president off as he still continues to rant and rave over him until  one of the hosts eventually remarks about going “90 seconds over.”
