Summary

Shortly before polls closed on Election Day, Republican nominee Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that there was “cheating” in Philadelphia, adding “Law enforcement coming!!!”

The Philadelphia Police Department and District Attorney Larry Krasner responded, stating there was no evidence to support Trump’s allegations.

Krasner invited Trump to provide any factual basis for his claims but noted no such information had been provided.

Meanwhile, shares of Truth Social’s parent company saw volatile trading, leading to three halts in trading on Tuesday.

    This doesn’t even make sense to me. Trump has no clue what “working people do. Riding around in a garbage truck for 15 minutes isn’t fucking working. Shutting down a McDonald’s and forcing workers to take the day off, more than likely without pay, isn’t working. I can’t look at Trump and the people around him and say” yeah, this guy won’t screw me over".

      Because the American people have been conditioned to believe that they are not poor, but temporarily inconvenienced millionaires.

      I also like to throw in that unlike the movies, no one genuinely believes they’re the bad guys/villains. In fact, they all believe they’re the good guys and the other people are the bad guys. And thanks to Hollywood, the good guys always do the right thing and never make mistakes.
