President Donald Trump made many spurious allegations in his Thursday night speech, with claims that there were serious attempts from China to interfere in the 2020 election.

However, on Face the Nation Sunday, Senate Intelligence Committee vice chairman Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said the real reason for Trump’s speech was to signal the president’s own intentions to interfere with November midterms.

“Why is he doing all these things? I believe it’s because Donald Trump intends to interfere in this year’s elections,” said Warner in an interview with Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan. “He knows if there is a free and fair election, his policies will be rejected at record levels.”

    This is what we get when it has happened multiple times in the past with no consequences. I, for one, am completely shocked. Nobody could have predicted he would do this.

        That’s never going to happen. There’s far too many idiots out there.

        If the majority of the american people want Donarhea Drumpf, the Drumpf family, the cronies, the regime and the ice Gestapo gone then they will protest until something happens.
        If they don’t do that then the majority don’t want that thing and his corrupt hangers on gone. Simple as that.

    I’ve said this before and I will say it again. This was the plan from the beginning, don’t act surprised now or when there are armed men at polling stations on Election Day. Stay safe and informed everyone.

    If he does it again, this time there will be consequences. People are done with him and all things surrounding him.

          It’s sad to see you to give up hope. This is reason he gets away with it. I truly see you though. Felt the same way. But if you feel this way, they have won. Are you going to let them do that?

        I hear you. But, from what I’ve been seeing, if he rigs it, we won’t accept the results. People want blood. If it’s not him, it’s going to be anyone who associates with him.

        I do find it strange that people are waiting to November to fight back, but it’s the last test. If the system fails, then there will be blood.

      Is this a sarcastic comment?

      After all he has done and gotten away with… you should know he will get away with it
