2020 ELECTION/VOTING: “We’re not going to lose this [election], except if they cheat. That’s the way I look at it, but we can’t let them cheat. We can’t let them — it’s too much. Our country is at stake and it’s true. Our country is at stake because these people will destroy our country. We can’t let this happen and this is a scam. They know it, the media knows it, but the media doesn’t want to cover it…
You know millions of ballots, very hard to watch, and the only way we’re going to lose — that’s the only way we’re going to lose is if there’s mischief, mischief, and it’ll have to be on a big scale, so be careful.
And we do want a very friendly transition, but we don’t want to be cheated and be stupid and say, oh, let’s trans — we’ll go and we’ll do a transition and we know that there were thousands and thousands of ballots that made the difference through cheating. We’re not going to stand for it. We’re not going to stand for it. So just remember, keep your eyes open.”
