Trump Viewed Election Results as Obstacle, New Filing Reveals

A court filing has revealed that, just days before the 2020 election, one of Donald Trump’s close advisers told supporters that the then-president would “declare victory” regardless of the actual outcome. The adviser, identified as Stephen Bannon, reportedly explained that Trump intended to claim victory, even if the vote count showed otherwise.

The filing provides new details about the broader efforts of Trump and his allies to remain in power despite losing the election. These revelations paint a troubling picture of a candidate who saw the election process not as a democratic outcome but as an obstacle to overcome, highlighting his refusal to accept defeat.

As Trump campaigns for the presidency once again, these details offer a concerning glimpse into how he views the electoral process.
