Trump’s first words: “There’s no way we lost Georgia, no way.” Says he’s looking at “eight different states” and “I think we’re going to win them all.” (They have all been certified." Insists he'd be fine with losing if election wasn't rigged. (No evidence presented).
Trump putting the screws to Mike Pence onstage; says Pence will have "a lot to say about it," meaning Wednesday's certification. Again Trump emphasizes he won 75 million votes (not quite true) but ignores Biden's 81 million. Pretty standard post-election speech so far.
Trump moves to the bashing-your-own part of the program: "Your governor, your secretary of state are scared to death of Stacey Abrams. What's that all about...They say they are Republicans. I don't think they are." Says he'll be back to campaign against Brian Kemp.
"We won in numbers like nobody's seen before," Trump says of the November election he lost by scores of electoral votes and 7 million-plus in popular vote.
"Now we're being laughed at all over the world about this last election," Trump says about November. Well.
Hannity pulls away from the Trump rally to interview Newt Gingrich.
Trump now dumping on the Supreme Court for its election decisions. He appointed three of the Justices who sided against him in those decisions.
Trump so far has not mentioned the coronavirus in a litany of woes that he claims would befall the country if Democrats win. Twice, however, he has mentioned that he doesn't do rallies for other people.
Trump goes through number of states where he was initially leading and then the results flipped. The reverse happened in Ohio (where mail-in ballots were counted first) -- which is never mentioned.
Trump now going through categories of allegedly fraudulent votes in Georgia. Republican officials in Georgia today knocked down those allegations as false before the president's arrival.
Revealing note from Trump: that if he had actually lost, as opposed to having the election stolen from him, the people at his rally wouldn't have wanted him.
There's not a lot of logic going on tonight, but Trump has repeatedly told rally attendees to vote tomorrow on the same machines he spent a prodigious amount of time dumping on as fraudulent. And now, after chants of "four more years" and "lock her up," up comes YMCA.
