Trump Says He May Not Accept Election Results If He Loses; Chris Wallace, Fox TV Interview

'Trump says he may Not Accept the Election Result after this fall's election If He Loses,' July 19, 2020. Daily Kos.

Donald Trump is a dictator wannabe. Trump made that fact is abundantly clear during his interview with Chris Wallace, ('Fox News Sunday,' Show, July 19, 2020). Trump indicated he may reject the election result, if he loses, for the first time in American history.

- President Trump defends response to COVID crisis in exclusive interview with Chris Wallace:

WALLACE: Two final -- two final questions.

In general, not talking about November, are you a good loser?

TRUMP: I'm not a good loser. I don't like to lose. I don't lose too often . I don't like to lose.

WALLACE: But are you gracious?

TRUMP: You don't know until you see. It depends. I think mail-in voting is -- is going to rig the election. I really do.

WALLACE: Are you suggesting that you might not accept the results of the election?

TRUMP: No, I have to see. Look, Hillary Clinton asked me the same thing.

WALLACE: No, I asked you the same thing at the debate.

Wallace then played a clip of Trump from a 2016 debate where he answers “I'll keep you in suspense, OK?”

WALLACE: But can you give a -- can you give a direct answer, you will accept the election?

TRUMP: I have to see. Look, you - I have to see.

No, I'm not going to just say yes. I'm not going to say no. And I didn't last time either...

Never will. It goes against his very being. "We'll see"
Is a favorite.

Doesn't really matter if he accepts the results. If Biden wins, he is out the door when the time comes, happy about it or not.
