Preface

This book reproduces tweets and retweets by Donald J. Trump from the beginning of November 2020 to January 8, 2021, the day Trump was permanently banned from Twitter. With that ban, this book will serve as a record of his final two months plus of tweets.

This book also covers a controversial phone call by Trump and the major speeches Trump gave in January 2021. That phone call and those speeches expand upon his tweets.

The tweets and retweets in this book are presented in chronological order. Most of the tweets are about the 2020 election. But some are about other topics. Those have also been included.

Many of the election-related tweets were marked by Twitter with the disclaimer, This claim about election fraud is disputed. I have not always included this declaimer, but it is important to remember. Many of Trump’s claims in his tweets about fraud or irregularities in the 2020 election are indeed disputed. The same goes for Trump’s claims in his Georgia phone call and speeches.

This does not necessarily mean they are false. But evidence needs to be provided to support them, and that is lacking in many cases. In my comments, I will mention which grievances are valid, which are not, and which are difficult to determine their validity. I also provide background information for the tweets or other comments as needed.

But whether valid or not, Trump’s claims of election fraud were said to have led to an insurrection in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021. I call that event the Capitol Building Uprising, for reasons that will be explained later.       But here, reading this book will help the reader to decide if in fact Trump’s tweets and speeches led to that tragic event.

Related Books by the Author

This book is a follow up to a three-volume set by the author of this book (Gary F. Zeolla) titled Dems Cannot Beat Trump, so They Impeach Trump. That trilogy chronicles the Ukraine impeachment fiasco, that was not really about a July 25, 2019 phone call and related events but about beating Trump in the 2020 election. It also mentions the many other unjustified attacks that have been leveled against Donald J. Trump since the day he announced his candidacy for President in June 2015.

Such unjustified attacks are also discussed in the author’s earlier books God’s Sex Plan (a two-volume set) and Tearing the USA Apart: From Kavanaugh, to Incivility, to Caravans, to Violence, to the 2018 Midterm Elections, and Beyond.

Those unjustified attacks continued on to and through the 2020 election. This book picks up that story. It is a prequel to the following forthcoming books by the author of this book:

Alleged Corruption, Bias, and Fraud: Allegations of the Corruption of Joe Biden, Bias of the Media and Big Tech, and Fraud in the 2020 Election

Tragic Ending to Donald J. Trump’s Great Presidency: Capitol Building Uprising Leads to Impeachment 2.0, as Media and Big Tech Bias and Claims of Election Fraud Continue

Trump Fights Back with Statements: Against the Lies of Joe Biden, Attacks from Dems, and the Bias of the Media, of Big Tech, and of the J6 Commission

The Biased J6 Select Committee: The Public Hearings Were Half a Trial; This Book Gives You the Other Half

The tweets, phone call, and speeches reprinted in this book preview what will be presented in more detail the above four books.

Formatting Notes

Original tweets by Trump are prefaced by the name line, Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump. Retweets are indicated by the name line of the original tweeter, with the person’s name and Twitter handle.

Tweets always end with the date of the tweet (e.g., Nov 2, 2020).

Some of Trump’s tweets were blocked completely, with the label, Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process. You then had to click on the View link to actually see the tweet. I did that and reproduced the tweet itself, usually without the disclaimer.

I have replaced webpage links with [URL] and the name of the website if it is not already indicted in the tweet. I then reproduce the full URL in the Bibliography in Appendix One. In digital versions of this book, those are clickable links. In that way, the reader can finish reading this book then check out the linked to articles and videos.

I have not included tweets that were purely videos, as it was not possible to reproduce videos in book format. But when there was text accompanying the video, that I have included.

I have added subtitles to the longer speeches to aid in reading.

I will preface my comments with To comment, so the reader can distinguish between my comments and the tweet, call, or speech.

I will replace curse words with [expletive], except in one case.

Definitions

This Introductory Page will define some terms that are important to understand in reading this book.

First, the name of this writer’s politics website is Biblical and Constitutional Politics. I describe it as, Political news and commentary from a conservative Christian and politically conservative perspective.

To define these terms, Conservative Christian includes the belief that the Bible is God-breathed and fully reliable in all that it teaches and is the divine and final authority on all matters it addresses, including politics. Conversely, a liberal Christian would deny the divine inspiration, reliability, and ultimate authority of the Bible.

      Politically conservative refers to the belief in limited government, separation of powers, traditional values, personal and national security, capitalism, freedom, and liberty, and most of all, an adherence to the Constitution of the United States, following an originalist interpretation thereof.

The definition of politically liberal would be mostly opposite of all these aspects of politically conservative, beginning with big federal government instead of limited government. That would then lead to an erosion of the rest of the points.

Conservatives are often said to be on the right, while liberals are said to be on the left.

Republicans generally claim to be conservatives, while Democrats are generally liberal, though some prefer the term progressive. That word is seen in YourDictionary’s definition of liberal. Progressive is someone who advocates for reform and change.

The term leftist is often used interchangeable with liberal, though the two are not exactly the same. A leftist is defined as, a person whose political position is of the left (noun), esp., a communist or socialist.

The difference is, liberals will advocate for some socialist policies, such as universal government run health care, but is not fully a socialist, while leftists will advocate for full socialism.

Also, the definition of liberal says tolerant of views differing from one’s own. That is truer of conservatives than liberals, but not at all true of leftists. As a result, leftists will try to shut down speech they disagree with, while liberals and conservatives encourage free exchange of ideas. Leftists are also more likely to engage in civil disobedience and even uncivil disobedience than a liberal.

States and areas are color coded as to how they tend to vote. A red state tends to vote Republican, while a blue state tends to vote Democrat. You can remember the difference by both red and Republican beginning with re.

A swing state or area, which is to say, one that sometimes votes Republican and sometimes Democrat, is called a purple state. That of course comes from the fact that mixing blue and red produces purple.

By Mainstream Media (MSM) is meant traditional and generally liberal news outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times (NYT), and The Washington Post (WaPo).

Conservative news outlets are generally newer news agencies, like Fox News Channel (FNC), Fox Business Network (FBN), Breitbart, and The Daily Caller, plus The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

By Dems is meant elected and non-elected Democrat officials in Washington D.C. Specifically, the Democrat members of the US House of Representatives and Democrat Senators in the US Senate, along with their staff and other support personal, and all of the other non-elected Democrat bureaucrats in the nation’s capital. It must be noted, the term Dems does not refer to the average registered Democrat US voter.

Similarly, by Repubs is meant the same, except to substitute Republican for Democrat in the preceding paragraph.

Section One: The Tweets

Ch. 1: Trump’s 2020 Election Tweets, November 2-15, 2020

These tweets start the day before the November 3, 2020 presidential election.

November 2, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

With your VOTE, we will continue to cut your taxes and regs, support our police, support our military, protect your 2A, defend religious liberty & ensure more products are proudly stamped MADE IN THE USA! Next year will be the greatest economic year in the history of our Country! Nov 2, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Over the next 4 years, we will teach our children to love our Country, honor our history, and always respect our great American Flag—and with God’s help, we will defend the right to life, religious liberty, and the right to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS!

Get Ready to Vote. Nov 2, 2020

To comment, in these two tweets, Trump is both touting his accomplishments in these areas and promising more on each in a second term. Note also his support for the police. That will be important later.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

For 47 years, Joe Biden viciously attacked Black Americans. He called young black men super predators. To every black American: I am asking for your vote. This is your one and only chance to show Sleepy Joe what you think of his decision to attack you, jail you, and betray you! Nov 2, 2020

To comment, Trump is referring to the 1992 crime bill, that then Senator Joe Biden supported. That bill led to blacks being disproportionately imprisoned for drug offenses. Trump reversed this problem with his First Step Act. Trump also instituted several other measures that benefited blacks far more than anything Biden ever did, such as Trump’s Opportunity Zones and increased long-term funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Joe Biden would increase refugees from terrorist nations by 700%. His plan would overwhelm your communities and turn Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and the entire Midwest into a refugee camp. I am protecting your families and keeping Radical Islamic Terrorists OUT of our Country! Nov 2, 2020

To comment, this tweet came on the heals of Trump holding rallies in each of these states. He is referring to Biden promising to end the ban on immigration from counties that do not keep sufficient records so that the US can properly vet people before allowing them to immigrate here. Though, Biden and the MSM refer to this as Trump’s Muslim ban, it includes any country without proper documentation.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

A vote for Joe Biden is a vote to extinguish and eradicate your state’s auto industry. Biden is a corrupt politician who SOLD OUT Michigan to CHINA. Biden is the living embodiment of the decrepit and depraved political class that got rich bleeding America Dry! Nov 2, 2020

To comment, Trump is referring to terrible trade deals the Obama/ Biden administration signed with China and the trade deficit between China and the USA that increased during that administration, but which decreased during the Trump administration.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

I am asking you to go VOTE for your favorite president, we still have work to do! Let’s WIN, WIN, WIN! Nov 2, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

A vote for Sleepy Joe Biden is a vote to give control of government over to Globalists, Communists, Socialists, and Wealthy Liberal Hypocrites who want to silence, censor, cancel, and punish you. Get out and VOTE #MAGA tomorrow! Nov 2, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Biden has vowed to ABOLISH the American oil and natural gas industries, and BAN fracking. As long as I am President, we will remain the number one producer of oil and natural gas on earth – and we will remain Energy Independent! Nov 2, 2020

To comment, during the campaign, Biden kept going back and forth as to if he would ban fracking or not and if he would take steps to reduce US production of oil and natural gas.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

A vote for me and the Republican Party is a vote for the American Dream! Over the next four years, we will make America into the Manufacturing Superpower of the World, and we will end our reliance on China once and for all. Nov 2, 2020

To comment, the need for the USA to be independent from China was made abundantly clear during the pandemic. Our initial lack of supply of facemasks and other PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) was due to our being dependent on China for their manufacture. We are also dependent on China for many of our prescription drugs.

November 3, 2020/ Election Day

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

To all of our supporters: thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have been there from the beginning, and I will never let you down. Your hopes are my hopes, your dreams are my dreams, and your future is what I am fighting for every single day. Nov 3, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

WE ARE LOOKING REALLY GOOD ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THANK YOU! Nov 3, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Get out & VOTE! Under my Administration, our ECONOMY is growing at the fastest rate EVER at 33.1%. Next year will be the GREATEST ECONOMIC YEAR in American History! Nov 3, 2020

To comment, the preceding tweets are Trump’s only ones on Election Day, a low number for him. But the day after the election, Trump ramped up his tweeting. Election Night, he was leading by a wide margin in most swing states, but now his lead was dwindling, so he began his claims about election fraud and the election being stolen.

November 4, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Polls are closed! Nov 4, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Last night I was leading, often solidly, in many key States, in almost all instances Democrat run & controlled. Then, one by one, they started to magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted. VERY STRANGE, and the pollsters got it completely & historically wrong! Nov 4, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

We are winning Pennsylvania big, but the PA Secretary of State just announced that there are Millions of ballots left to be counted. Nov 4, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Wow! It looks like Michigan has now found the ballots necessary to keep a wonderful young man, John James, out of the U.S. Senate. What a terrible thing is happening! Nov 4, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

They are finding Biden votes all over the place — in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. So bad for our Country! Nov 4, 2020

Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog

This is reason enough to go to court. No honest person can look at this and say it’s normal and unconcerning.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT? Nov 4, 2020

To comment, I will explain in detail what is happening here in my book Alleged Corruption, Bias, and Fraud: Allegations of the Corruption of Joe Biden, Bias of the Media and Big Tech, and Fraud in the 2020 Election, hereafter referred to as my Corruption book.

But more simply here, we knew before the election that more Democrats had voted early via mail-in ballots than Republicans, but in some states, those mail-in ballots could not be counted until Election Day. That meant there would be large numbers of votes for Dems being counted later in the day on Election Day or afterwards.

However, the sheer magnitude of the shifts from Repubs leading by a lot to Dems leading caused many, such as Trump, to think something more nefarious was occurring. Some evidence of anomalies would be forthcoming, as I will detail here and more so in my Corruption book.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Our lawyers have asked for meaningful access, but what good does that do? The damage has already been done to the integrity of our system, and to the Presidential Election itself. This is what should be discussed! Nov 4, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

We have claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won’t allow legal observers) the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina, each one of which has a BIG Trump lead. Additionally, we hereby claim the State of Michigan if, in fact,.....

.....there was a large number of secretly dumped ballots as has been widely reported! Nov 4, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Detroit Absentee Ballot Counting Chaos, Blocked Windows and Observers. Nov 4, 2020

November 5, 2020

Maura Barrett @MauraBarrettNBC

Philadelphia mail-in ballot count has been temporarily halted as Democrats have gone to PA’s Supreme Court to try to reverse the Commonwealth Court ruling allowing Trump observers inside to watch the count (which is also live-streamed) - per @mitchellreports Nov 5, 2020

Buck Sexton @BuckSexton

Does anyone even try to make an argument why there is a good faith reason to block GOP poll watchers, or are we just supposed to ignore how highly suspicious that seems? Nov 5, 2020

To comment, in the four preceding tweets, Trump is referring to election observers not being allowed to be close enough to election workers counting the ballots to be able to clearly see what they are doing. The excuse of COVID was used to keep the observers at least six feet away from the workers. But in some cases, such as here in PA, that six feet increased to up to 100 feet. Courts ruled they needed to be closer, but in some case, those court ruling were not obeyed. I will document this problem in my Corruption book.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

STOP THE COUNT! Nov 5, 2020

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

ANY VOTE THAT CAME IN AFTER ELECTION DAY WILL NOT BE COUNTED! Nov 5, 2020

To comment, Trump is getting outraged as he sees his large Election Night lead in battleground states dwindle away as the mail-in ballots are counted. But again, some evidence of problems would be forthcoming.

Paul Sperry @paulsperry_

BREAKING: Mich Gov Whitmer sent health dept into Detroit TFC Center to evict GOP pollwatchers but not Dem pollwatchers or media, claiming COVID concerns despite 40k-sq-ft bldg. Counters cheered when they were evicted. Also put up cardboard over windows to block inspection process. Nov 5, 2020

Tom Bevan @TomBevanRCP

It doesn’t matter if Fox’s call of AZ ends up being correct in the end. It was totally unnecessary to call it as early as they did. And the fact they jumped to call it, after waiting hours to call FL when 97% was in and Trump up 3+points is an awful double standard. Nov 5, 2020

To comment, FNC was the first to call Arizona for Biden, a state Trump won in 2016. That call proved to be correct. But it seemed very early when Fox called it. That angered Trump and many of his supporters, leading some to abandon FNC for the newer Newsmax.
