Trump’s attacks seen undercutting confidence in 2020 vote
Trump's attacks seen undercutting confidence in 2020 vote
*WASHINGTON (AP) — It was a startling declaration about one of the pillars of American democracy, all the more so given its source.
The president of the United States last week publicly predicted without evidence that the 2020 presidential election would be “the most corrupt election in the history of our country.”
“We cannot let this happen,” Donald Trump told an audience of young supporters at a Phoenix megachurch. “They want it to happen so badly.”
Just over four months before Election Day, the president is escalating his efforts to cast doubt on the integrity of the vote.*

If you asked Vlad to make a wish list for things he'd like to see happen that would most undermine our democracy it would be this. For the prez to claim the results of our elections can not be trusted.
It's not the first time it's happened. Prior to the 2016 election, in anticipation of losing, Trump said the result was rigged. He also refused to say he would accept the result. It was the beginning of the shocking ways he would go on to subvert our bedrock institutional norms.
No wonder Vlad put so much effort in getting him elected as outlined in Mueller's report.
