The Big Truth: Turns Out Trump Actually Did Fuck The Election (Or Try To)
……..
Trump Did It: Breaking Down the Special Counsel Report on Election Interference
Let’s cut the bullshit and get straight to it: the Special Counsel’s report is damning as hell. Trump interfered with the 2020 election. Period. This isn’t some half-assed conspiracy theory—it’s laid out in black and white by Jack Smith and his team. The dude didn’t just skirt the line; he blew past it like a drunk driver barreling through a stop sign…
This report is packed with receipts, and we’re going to break them down one by one. But first, let’s acknowledge the elephant in the room: Trump’s got more excuses than a kid who forgot their homework. “Election fraud,” “presidential immunity,” “executive privilege”—all of it’s bullshit. Let’s dive into the juicy details and unpack how this guy tried to strong-arm democracy.

Election Interference: Lies, Fraud, and Bullshit
Pressuring State Officials
The report makes it crystal clear: Trump went full mob boss on state officials, demanding they overturn the election results. He peddled debunked claims of voter fraud like he was selling snake oil. Remember that infamous call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger? You know, the one where Trump said, "I just want to find 11,780 votes." That’s not just shady; it’s a goddamn crime. It’s a glaring example of abuse of power, and it wasn’t just a one-off. Trump tried this shit in multiple states, applying pressure wherever he thought he could squeeze out a win. It’s like watching a bad mob movie, except this was real life, and democracy was on the line.
The Fraudulent Elector Scheme
This part reads like a plot from a bad political drama. Trump and his cronies cooked up a plan to submit fake electoral votes in seven states. Let’s be clear: these weren’t "alternate electors" or some legit legal strategy. These were fabricated votes designed to hijack the Electoral College. It’s straight-up election fraud. And the audacity of it all? They were so bold, they even held public meetings to declare these fake electors. It’s not just laughable; it’s terrifying. They were willing to rewrite the rules of democracy to keep Trump in power, and they almost got away with it.
The Capitol Attack: Inciting a Shitshow
Rhetoric That Lit the Fuse
The report doesn’t mince words about Trump’s role in the January 6th Capitol riot. His "stop the steal" rally wasn’t just a pep talk; it was a call to arms. He whipped his followers into a frenzy, then pointed them at the Capitol like a loaded gun. And let’s not forget his tweet: "Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done." That’s not leadership; that’s incitement. Trump knew exactly what he was doing. His words weren’t just reckless; they were deliberate. He knew his base would take his rhetoric as marching orders, and they did.
Delaying Certification
While the mob stormed the Capitol, Trump sat back and watched like it was his favorite reality show. Meanwhile, Congress was trying to certify the damn election. Trump’s inaction wasn’t just negligent; it was part of the plan. He wanted chaos to delay the process and keep himself in power. The report even highlights how Trump resisted calls from advisors and family members to intervene. This wasn’t a failure of leadership; it was a calculated decision to exploit the chaos for his own gain.
Misuse of Official Power: Twisting the DOJ
Weaponizing the Justice Department
Trump treated the Department of Justice like his personal PR firm. He pressured officials to announce investigations into baseless voter fraud claims. When they wouldn’t play ball, he tried to replace them with loyalists who would. This isn’t normal. This is dictator-level bullshit. Imagine the chaos if he had succeeded. The DOJ would have been reduced to a propaganda machine, rubber-stamping his lies and undermining public trust in the election process. It’s horrifying to think how close we came to that reality.
Targeting Pence
Mike Pence isn’t exactly a hero in this story, but even he had his limits. Trump leaned on Pence to reject legitimate electoral votes, something the Vice President has zero authority to do. When Pence refused, Trump threw him under the bus, fueling the mob’s anger. And let’s not forget: the mob was chanting "Hang Mike Pence." Trump’s response? Indifference. He didn’t care that his actions put his own VP’s life in danger. All he cared about was clinging to power.
Classified Documents: Mishandling National Security
The Mar-a-Lago Stash
Classified documents at a golf resort? Seriously? Trump’s decision to hoard sensitive materials at Mar-a-Lago wasn’t just reckless; it was dangerous. These weren’t old memos or meeting notes. We’re talking about top-secret intelligence that could compromise national security. The report outlines how these documents were casually stored in unsecured locations, accessible to club employees and potentially foreign agents. It’s like he didn’t give a damn about the risks—or maybe he just thought he was above it all.
Obstructing Recovery Efforts
When the government tried to retrieve these documents, Trump played dumb, delayed, and obstructed. He even suggested his lawyers lie about it. This isn’t the behavior of an innocent man. It’s the behavior of someone with something to hide. The report even mentions how Trump reportedly asked if the documents could be "destroyed." That’s not just obstruction; that’s intent to cover up a crime. And let’s be real: if anyone else had done this, they’d already be in jail.
Legal Charges: Why This Shit Matters
Conspiracy to Defraud the United States
This charge alone should send chills down your spine. Trump’s actions weren’t just unethical; they were illegal. He conspired to undermine the very foundation of democracy. This isn’t some technicality; it’s a direct attack on the integrity of our electoral system. The report highlights how his actions were deliberate and calculated, leaving no doubt about his intent.
Obstruction of an Official Proceeding
Obstructing Congress during the certification of electoral votes is a big deal. It’s not just a slap on the wrist; it’s a direct attack on the democratic process. This isn’t just about breaking the rules; it’s about undermining the very process that ensures a peaceful transfer of power. The report underscores how Trump’s actions were aimed at derailing this process, putting personal ambition above the country.
Conspiracy Against Rights
By attempting to disenfranchise millions of voters, Trump violated their constitutional rights. This isn’t just about the presidency; it’s about every citizen’s right to vote. The report makes it clear that Trump’s actions were an attack on the very principles of democracy. It’s not just illegal; it’s un-American.
Excuses and Challenges: The Bullshit Defense
Executive Privilege
Trump’s favorite excuse. But here’s the thing: executive privilege doesn’t cover election interference or hoarding classified documents. Nice try, though. The report highlights how Trump’s legal team tried to stretch this privilege beyond its limits, using it as a shield to block investigations and subpoenas. It’s a flimsy defense that doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.
Presidential Immunity
Another favorite. But immunity isn’t a get-out-of-jail-free card. The law applies to everyone, even ex-presidents. The report details how Trump’s team tried to argue that his actions were within the scope of his presidential duties. But let’s be real: pressuring state officials and inciting a riot aren’t exactly part of the job description.
Harassment of Witnesses
Witnesses faced threats and harassment from Trump’s supporters. This isn’t just unethical; it’s illegal. Witness tampering is a crime for a reason. The report documents how some witnesses were reluctant to come forward, fearing retaliation. This isn’t just an obstacle for investigators; it’s a direct attack on the justice system.
Prosecution Decisions: Why This Matters
Severity of Offenses
The report makes it clear: Trump’s crimes weren’t minor infractions. They were severe, systemic, and damaging to the nation. These weren’t just mistakes or lapses in judgment; they were deliberate actions that undermined democracy. The severity of these offenses can’t be overstated.
Conclusion: The Trainwreck Continues
The report ends on a frustrating note: the DOJ dismissed the cases after Trump’s reelection in 2024. Let that sink in. A man who actively undermined democracy is back in the Oval Office. But here’s the thing: the truth doesn’t go away. This report is a testament to the rule of law and a warning for the future.
Trump interfered in the 2020 election. The evidence is overwhelming, the consequences are dire, and the fight isn’t over. We can’t let this shit slide. Democracy is on the line, and it’s up to us to hold the powerful accountable.

I am, quite frankly, extremely disappointed that Biden -- with the "Presidential Immunity" granted by the Extreme Court (even though they twisted themselves into knots to justify it for their guy, Trump...Biden was still president and could have utilized it -- didn't take that report and promptly arrest Trump as a "clear and present danger to the United States of America." And then send him off to Guantanamo or some CIA black site for "extended questioning".
I mean...the Court basically said having Seal Team 6 taking him out on Presidential orders was a-okay, so why something wasn't done is, to this American, quite baffling and disappointing...as the Orange Anus is quite clearly a hazard to the nation (and the world), has repeatedly violated his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and Biden had carte blanche to do whatever the hell he thought best to keep him from assuming power and wrecking this great nation. But nope...he wimped out.
And how does this surprise you? He literally said, “ I don’t need your votes “!
