Trump Is Already Telling Supporters That Next Year's Election Is Being Stolen - Ring of Fire

Donald Trump is doing everything possible to convince his followers that the 2024 election has already been "stolen" from him, setting them up to reject the results of the election when they come in. This is not just a talking point for the former president, either - he saw what his supporters did last time he claimed an election was stolen and he's banking on the same thing happened this time around. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Donald Trump has spent a good portion of this year trying to convince his supporters that he is going to lose in 2024. Now, that kind of seems counterintuitive, right? If you're the candidate, you want to go out there and convince people that, Hey, I'm gonna win in 2024. Nobody's gonna beat me. But Trump's out there telling his people like, yeah, I'm gonna lose. But he says he's not gonna lose, you know, because people don't like him. He's gonna lose because the whole thing is rigged against him. He said in March as speech in Waco, Texas, we have to stop them from cheating in elections because if we don't win this next election, 2024, I truly believe our country is doomed. August 30th in New Jersey, they rigged the 2020 election, and now they're trying to do the same thing all over again by rigging the most important election in the history of our country, the 2024 election.

He's also made multiple statements in court alleging that Democrats are using these prosecutions to rig the election against him. And then recently, two of his, uh, campaign advisors, Susie Wiles and Chris Las Cavita issued a joint statement that said this, the Republican National Committee should immediately cancel the upcoming debate in Miami and, and all future debates in order to refocus its manpower and money on preventing Democrats' efforts to steal the 2024 election. Now, I know y'all do this as a fundraising effort, right? I'm not that stupid. I know that y'all say this because there's plenty of idiot Republican voters out there who have a couple extra bucks, and you say these things and they're like, oh, let me give you some money, even though I can't pay my bills. Here's my money. But here's the thing. What you're actually admitting and kind of prepping the country for is, yeah, our guy's not gonna win, but when he loses, it's not because he's unpopular.

Even though the poll show he is very unpopular. Uh, no, it's because it was stolen. So Donald Trump is already trying to like soften his egos blow that he will get in 2024 by saying like, yeah, I'm gonna lose, but I'm not gonna lose because I'm unpopular. I'm not gonna lose because for four years when I was president, I drove this country straight into hell. No, no, no, no, no. That's never why. It's never my fault. It's always the fault of somebody else. It's always the system being against me. I'm the victim here. But it also does something else. We saw on January 6th, 2021, what Trump supporters will do when they hear that lie enough. And I do believe, maybe you believe differently, but I do believe that that is what they are trying to set up at this point. They being the entire Trump apparatus, they want another riot. If he loses, they want people to get angry. They want chaos and

Disruption, because if they can't have it, if they can't gain that power, then to them, the idea is screw it, burn it all down. And I do believe that that is what Trump is trying to set up for when he loses in 2024.
