Former President Donald Trump today does not rule out the possibility of political violence if the results of the United States elections scheduled for November 5 go against him.

Some media outlets maintain this issue in their main analysis and news spaces following the former president's (2017-2021) statements that everything will depend on the results of the presidential race, if they are not "honest."

With this he also hinted that he would not recognize the calculations if he were the loser of the contest.

The day before, in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Trump did not commit to accepting the results of the 2024 presidential election, echoing comments he made during the 2020 election campaign.

“If everything is honest, I will gladly accept the results. I won't change that,” he said, adding that “if not, we must fight for the rights of the country.”

The presumptive Republican Party presidential candidate repeated his false allegations that he defeated Democrat Joe Biden in Wisconsin in the elections almost four years ago.

"If you go back and look at all the things that were discovered, it shows that I won the election in Wisconsin. “I was also proven to have won elections in other places,” according to Trump.

At a CNN event in 2023, the former president also refused to commit to accepting the counts for the next elections and in a recent interview with Time magazine, he warned that he did not believe there would be political violence if he wins the November race against Biden. , "always depends on the fairness of an election."

The former occupant of the Oval Office assured that he is “far ahead” in the race and reiterated his unfounded opinions that the 2020 elections were stolen.

“I don't think they can do the things they did last time, which were horrible. Absolutely horrible. They did so, so many different things, it totally violated what was supposed to be happening. And you know that and everyone knows it,” he noted.

Then at a rally yesterday in Freehand, Michigan, he announced a joint effort with the Republican National Committee, called “Protect the Vote,” which he described as an effort to “ensure that what happened in 2020 never happens again.”

Trump insists on the same claims from the last election, when he tried to reverse the results and his efforts to remain in power led him to commit alleged crimes for which he faces serious charges in two of the four pending criminal trials. he. (Taken from Prensa Latina)
