Trump wants to take power -- no matter the results of an election. Trump Said He “Shouldn’t Have Left” the White House After the 2020 Election At a rally in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump vented angrily about new polls that show him losing ground to Kamala Harris. He also joked about reporters being shot. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11/03/us/harris-trump-election Former President Donald J. Trump told supporters on Sunday that he “shouldn’t have left” the White House at the end of his term during an end-of-campaign rally where he vented angrily about a spate of new public polls showing him losing ground to Vice President Kamala Harris and joked about reporters being shot at. The former president also described Democrats as a “demonic” party at the rally, at an airport in Lititz, Pa., his first of three swing-state stops planned for his second to last day on the campaign trail. Mr. Trump’s voice was audibly hoarse and his speech sluggish as he made unfounded claims about election interference. He praised himself for ditching his prepared remarks, saying it meant the “truth” could come out. “We had the best border, the safest border,” Mr. Trump said of his time in the White House. He said that the economy had been in good shape, before mentioning the chart he had been pointing to featuring immigration statistics when he was shot at during a rally in Butler, Pa., in July. “It said we had the safest border in the history of our country the day that I left,” he said. “I shouldn’t have left, I mean, honestly,” Mr. Trump continued. He added, “We did so well, we had such a great—” and then cut himself off. He then immediately noted “so now, every polling booth has hundreds of lawyers standing there.” The remark echoed what Mr. Trump told some aides within days of his 2020 election loss: that he wasn’t going to leave the White House. “I’m just not going to leave,” Mr. Trump told one aide. He told another, “We’re never leaving,” and added: “How can you leave when you won an election?” Mr. Trump never conceded the race to Mr. Biden. And his denials that he had lost that election were issued by himself and a ring of mostly outside advisers and lawyers, who pushed every avenue possible to overturn President Biden’s victory. Those efforts culminated in an attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob on Jan. 6, 2021, as Mr. Biden’s electoral college victory was being certified. Hundreds of people have been charged in connection with that attack. Mr. Trump has been indicted in Georgia and by a federal special counsel in connection with his efforts to stay in power. Mr. Trump also complained about a series of recent polls. His campaign had sent out a memo suggesting a Des Moines Register poll of Iowa showing Mr. Trump losing the state by four points and a new batch of New York Times/Siena College polls of battleground states were incorrect. Mr. Trump, however, took the complaints to a different level. He spent nearly 20 minutes trying to instill doubts about the election, reviving a host of baseless claims of widespread fraud that he made in 2020. He claimed that voter machines would be hacked, that elections needed to be called by 11 p.m. on Tuesday night and that efforts to extended polling hours to allow more people to vote — something his own party has pushed for in Pennsylvania — were tantamount to fraud. Mr. Trump, while riffing, also pointed to the protective glass encasing him now at outdoor rallies since he survived the assassination attempt in Butler. “To get to me, somebody would have to shoot through fake news, and I don’t mind that much, ’cause, I don’t mind. I don’t mind,” he said, as some in the crowd laughed and howled. Donald Trump has never been especially disciplined. But at this rally in Lititz, Pa., he has largely abandoned the policy-focused pitch that his advisers had been urging him to make. Instead, he retreated to wild claims about voter fraud, referred to Democrats as a “demonic” party and portrayed himself as the focus of conspiratorial efforts to keep him from winning the election. Donald Trump, who tried to overturn the 2020 election results and reportedly told aides not long after it that he wasn’t going to leave the White House, just told his crowd in Pennsylvania that he “shouldn’t have left” as he was discussing his view that the situation at the border worsened after his administration.
