asbjørn: «Kanskje mer et forsøk på å distrahere oppmerksomheten fra økonomitallene som kom tidligere i dag. De er nokså katastrofale, og det er typisk Trump å hive ut noe «outrageous» for å begrave en sak som eller kan bli pinlig for ham. Så hvorfor ikke true med et lite statskupp istedet? Ingen som bryr seg om økonomitallene da.»
trumps tweet må ikke forståes som en avledningsmanøver. selv om slikt tilhører hans modus operandi, går en feil om alt forståes i en slik horisont. en ting vi vet om trump, det er at han ikke er villig til å gi seg. det er ikke noe som heter å kaste korta der i gården. og dess mer han innser at han ikke kan vinne et valg, dess mer desperat vil hans handlinger bli. han er genetisk programmert til aldri å kaste korta, og det gies ingen rasjonell begrunnelse for at han har noe å vinne på det.
jeg har vel linket til noe av det samme som et twitterinnlegg. her er det artikkelgjort
So what's behind this tweet? Does Trump really think it points to a winning strategy? Does he for some reason believe that—despite lacking the authority to postpone a presidential election—the balloting now scheduled for November will by dint of fate or magic nevertheless be postponed? Does he think his legal advocates in and out of government would win before the United States Supreme Court if they sought to litigate the issue for him, before or after election day?
The answer to all of these questions is almost certainly "no."
The nightmare scenario that Trump seems willing, if not yet fully ready, to plunge America into isn't about him winning the 2020 election, let alone some grand and exponentially less plausible scenario involving a violent coup or the intervention of the U.S. military—which has already publicly disavowed the prospect—to prevent a Biden presidency. In fact, the far more troubling scenario is one in which Trump perverts our democracy and ruins our 2020 general election by urging his supporters not to participate in it at all.

Yes, Trump Can Sabotage Election Day
He can't postpone the election. He can't ignore its results. But his historic tweet shows he can undermine it—in a staggeringly stupid-but-effective way.
