> He states that he is intent on not leaving office peacefully in the future Source? > Every single person I've spoken to IRL about the Trump-related-stress-and-depression concept eagerly agrees that this is weighing heavily on people in a very constant, deep and personal way. Is it possible that that's the goal of the media right now? To make things seem so bad that they can swing political opinion? I mean look at this article. They focus on the negative but fail to mention in the headline that we also have the most positive experiences. That's framing and is very dangerous when done at scale.

> Source? "I will keep you in suspense" is an obvious dogwhistle that he has no intent to obey the rule of law. https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/19/politics/presidential-debate-highlights/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/19/politics/presidential-debate-... There is also his former lawyer on the topic, "Cohen: fears no 'peaceful transition' if Trump loses in 2020" https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-2020/cohen-fears-no-peaceful-transition-if-trump-loses-in-2020-idUSKCN1QG2ZR https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-2020/coh... > Is it possible that that's the goal of the media right now?

No, it is not possible that this is the media. The President is directing a genocide and is upset that it is not progressing faster. This is not the media, it is a direct fact straight from the President and it is dangerous and bad. It is stressful for many many Americans. I would like to think all, but I understand not everyone cares about children being kept in cages and separated from their parents. Or about how the President talks about how using "machine guns at the border" would be "more effective" to accomplish his goals. It's not "the media". It's the President.

  So your two sources are 1) Trump talking about conceding an election which he didn't lose. Even Hillary took until the next day to concede. 2) A disgraced lawyer who would have said anything to appease the house in that statement. Also his statement is opinion, and is obviously talking about recounts / lawsuits similar to the Al Gore / GWB election. Thinking the president would use force of any means is ridiculous. Edit: Generally editing your reply after I have replied is bad taste. > The President is directing a genocide and is upset that it is not progressing faster. Yeah I'm done talking with you, that is just a ridiculous line of thought backed by 0 facts.
