Citing the American revolution while misspelling “Britian”, Donald Trump’s campaign has filed an extraordinary complaint against the UK’s Labour party for what it claims is “interference” in the US presidential election.

      Yep, he’s creating yet another false equivalence (it’s what he does after all) comparing individuals personally going on their own time to publicly volunteer and whatever shadow-interference-and-misinformation campaign that Putin’s stood up for Trump. I just loved that Trump’s campaign couldn’t even be bothered to spell “Britain” correctly - the worst combination of venality and incompetence.

        can you imagine the judge being like, “there’s no such place as Britian… case dismissed!” ?

        I mean, I can’t either. but I wish I could.

      Projection is literally his thing. He thinks of something fucked up to do to the other side and then accuses them for doing the same. A recent example of this is his accusation of the Dems slowing hurricane relief where it was actually him saying this during the Woolsey fire since he was convinced that the locals didn’t vote for him. Psychopath behaviour.

    Trump already forgot Liz Truss flying in from the UK to be a featured speaker at the RNC convention just a few months ago.

        They are a British person traveling to America in order to engage in “election interference” if we believe Trump. It’s a fact which demonstrates that Trump is making a baseless and hypocritical allegation.

          That makes sense. I can’t even remember what I thought you meant, so I’ll blame my post on being at the end of a long day.

    Poisoning the well against credible accusations of Russian interference to help Trump.
