Trump is Reportedly Telling People He Will Be Reinstated as President By August
By Colby HallJun 1st, 2021, 9:24 am

Former President Donald Trump is telling people that he expects to get reinstated in the White House by August, according to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

Haberman shared this rather stunning detail in response to a CNN segment from Donie O’Sullivan. The video features a number of QAnon followers lauding a Myanmar-style coup of the U.S. government to replace President Joe Biden with Trump.

Haberman wrote, “Trump has been telling a number of people he’s in contact with that he expects he will be reinstated by August” with an important parenthetical caveat that states “(no that isn’t how it works but simply sharing the information).”

Her comments do not come in a vacuum either. A number of Trump toadies have made similar comments before and during the QAnon conference that was held in Dallas, Texas over the weekend.

Former National Security Advisor to Trump Michael Flynn (who pled guilty to lying to federal investigations before being pardoned) appeared to argue on behalf of a Myanmar-style coup during the QAnon conference. A biker vest clad Sidney Powell also stated during the QAnon conference that Trump should be reinstated as president. Why? Because according to the former Trump attorney there was “abject fraud and obtaining a coup of the United States of America.” There was not.

And lest we forget Mike Lindell, founder of MyPillow and massive advertiser on Fox News prime time. He insisted during a podcast with Steve Bannon last week that “Donald Trump will be back in office in August,” vowing to file a lawsuit that will confirm evidence of voter fraud during the 2020 election.

So Flynn, Powell, and Lindell are all advocating some sort of reinsertion of Trump into office, though there is no Constitutional way for that to happen. And according to the reliably well-sourced Haberman, Trump himself is promoting the idea that he will be back in office by late summer.

The idea that Trump would be reinstated into the White House is so absurd that it abuts “impossible” to happen. But the reason to amplify this story is to illustrate just how far gone many QAnon followers and their leaders — including Trump — appear to be in their delusion. And the surprisingly large number of supporters who keep buying it.

Romney must have choked on his milk. He's got to do every evil thing there is to do before it happens.

If it's from CNN, not directly from Trump or a source close to him, I'm inclined to regard it as lies.

The Slow Joe Slow Train Wreck must not be exciting enough for the liars at CNN...

It's probably actually terrifying for them, particularly since they were running interference all along and are going to be left without a chair when the music stops.

Yes.

The first time I heard this was from Mike Lindell.

Now Mike is (always) a little over the top. Well intentioned certainly, but enthusiastic to a fault.

Mike is not a lawyer. He may be able to "buy" lawyers, but I'm sure he doesn't sit down with them and go through the minutia of election law. And even if he did, I seriously doubt he would follow the legal per-requisites to a re-installation of Trump.

For example - Lindell has claimed SEVERAL times that "when the Supreme Court hears this case it will turn the election on a 9-0 vote."

Firstly, the Supreme Court almost never hears legal challenge on its basis alone. More often they "decide legal concepts which become basis for other cases to be decided." As in decisions made on "principle" rather than gain or loss of any particular legal contest.

Secondly, the Supreme Court writes their own legal calendar. They alone get to decide cases - and can turn down any case for any reason they consider worthy. It is their decision.

So perhaps best Lindell can be described as "enthusiastic."

Trump knows better certainly. He has lived under a microscope even years before his Presidential run - and knows when to keep mum - and when and how to "turn a phrase."

Mostly...

I put this to "fake news."

Ok, if this isn't a huge disinformation operation, which opens up a full other series of questions on its own, either Trump has himself lost it or stuff is going to go down akin to Argentina in the 1920s and 30s or 1970s.

At this point, with the present data, I would say that this is a huge disinformation campaign.
I believe very little of what's on the general internet.

So the article quotes CNN, so it's just made up.
Can we add CNN and anything that references CNN on the proscribed list?
