"Demoralize the opponent": how Trump predicted his election success

Donald Trump announced that he will win a "grand" victory in the upcoming US presidential elections.

The American leader announced this at a press conference at the White House.

“I think we have a powerful movement (support -

).

A truly epic victory awaits us.

There will be no transfer of power; it makes no sense to declare it in the event of our victory.

Now they are asking the question: "Will power be transferred in a peaceful atmosphere?"

Of course.

But we are faced with a big problem, and you see it every day - what happens every day with the ballots, ”Trump said.

He specified that "the democrats encroach on the immunity of the electoral process."

“During the June Democratic primaries in Brooklyn, 25% of mailed ballots were invalidated.

You know about it.

In New Jersey's early elections, 20% of the mailed ballots were thrown away and four people are now being prosecuted for fraud.

This is all about voting by mail.

At the primaries in Florida, they refused to accept 35 thousand ballots sent by mail, and in California - 100 thousand. And this is just the beginning, "the head of the White House noted.

Trump also called mail-order voting "a direct path to chaos."

“They (representatives of the Democratic Party. -

) want to oblige all states to vote by mail, right?

I call such voting "imposed" ... They want to send out ballots by mail without coordinating the issue with voters.

In other words, they will be sent to everyone ... But when the ballots are rigged, the system is corrupt - and this is so, it is obvious that it is ... Only the Democrats know better than me.

Probably, on the sidelines, they are laughing until they drop, "said the American leader.

Change in rhetoric

It should be noted that earlier the head of the White House did not express such unambiguous predictions regarding the outcome of the electoral process.

In particular, in August, Trump talked about "almost equal" chances of candidates to take the presidency.

“Do not get sick, be vigilant, be extremely careful.

Go ahead and do your best.

Your every vote is important to us, as the election campaign is likely to be tough.

I always assume that the odds will be almost equal.

In the arsenal of fake media, there are underrating polls that cover significantly more Democrats than Republicans, ”the head of the White House said during a speech to his supporters in Arizona.

Trump also noted that if he does not win the election, Biden will be able to cross out all the achievements of the previous administration.

“As for our undertakings (and we have achieved very, very much, be it in relation to our military, our veterans or whatever), then it’s like with a tree: it needs some time to take root.

You plant a tree and it must take root.

If we have four more years, they will not be able to do anything - our country will confidently move forward, ”the American leader said then.

We will remind, September 29 in Cleveland will host the first debate between Trump and his rival in the election, Joe Biden.

Speaking with reporters about the upcoming event, the head of the White House said that Biden could use stimulant drugs to better speak in the upcoming debate.

“I'm ready to take the stimulant test.

I believe that this should be done by him, because he speaks in very different ways, "- said Trump.

In his opinion, at the beginning of the presidential race in the debate against Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris Biden performed much worse than in the debate against Bernie Sanders.

“In terms of debate, he is not Winston Churchill, but (against Sanders -

) he spoke normally.

They say he was on stimulants.

Much has been said and written about this, ”the US President added.

"Pre-election technology"

According to experts, the head of the White House changed his rhetoric and began to declare his victory in the elections, primarily because of the upcoming debate with Biden.

According to analysts, this is how the American leader hopes to "prepare the ground" for this event.

“Trump wants to show now that his enemy has been defeated.

At the same time, the head of the White House says a very simple thing: Biden has already lost the debate and elections, not even because he is worse or better than Trump, but because of his bet on falsifications and machinations, which the population will not forgive, "- this point of view in the conversation Corresponding member of the Academy of Military Sciences, Americanist Sergei Sudakov, spoke with RT.

As political scientist Alexander Asafov said for his part, speaking about a "grandiose victory" and at the same time about possible falsifications on the part of the Democrats, Trump "prepares for two scenarios at once" - for the fact that he will actually win and for a possible defeat.

“If Trump loses, then his current arguments about the machinations of representatives of the Democratic Party will come in handy more than ever.

They will be needed to get the results invalidated or challenged in court.

In addition to allegations of possible fraud in voting by mail, the head of the White House is betting on the theses of the inaction of the Democratic governors, who, in his opinion, are ruining the country by pandering to the protesters, ”the expert said in an interview with RT.

At the same time, Asafov believes that Trump sincerely believes in his victory and does not perceive Biden as a serious rival in the upcoming debates.

“Such a competition for Trump is an extremely simple story, which is why he is now declaring his election victory with such confidence.

In addition, with the help of such statements, the head of the White House is trying to demoralize his opponent even more, ”the analyst noted.

Announcing victory in the elections, Trump is also "practicing the classic electoral technology" and at the same time a kind of business trick, emphasizes Sudakov.

“Here he acts absolutely in his entrepreneurial tradition, when, before an important deal, a businessman tells potential partners that they need to invest in the project, since the deal will be guaranteed to be closed.

It should be noted that on charisma and trust Trump has already managed to make a miracle in 2016, perhaps he will succeed in 2020, ”the expert emphasized.

At the same time, the Americans have good reasons to vote for Trump, and not for Biden, Sudakov believes.

“In the conditions in which the United States now finds itself - the approach of a new wave of a pandemic, colossal problems with the economy - Trump's re-election will be the best scenario.

After all, then the continuation and continuity of the course without any cardinal shocks in the economy and social life will benefit the country.

And "sleeping Joe", who claims some kind of stability in his election, in fact, will not be able to guarantee it, "the analyst said.

Experts also agree that one should not rely entirely on opinion polls and ratings of candidates "who are jumping all the time."

Recall, according to the aggregator of sociological polls RealClearPolitics, now 49.9% of voters are ready to vote for Joe Biden, 43.1% for Trump.

“According to the current data, the voters are now divided approximately equally.

This is the whole intrigue of November 3.

However, a shift in one direction or another can be influenced by a number of factors, in particular, the continuation of street actions, a new surge in the spread of the coronavirus, various spy stories that, as we see, continue to occur.

Anything can now influence the outcome of the elections, ”Asafov concluded.
