‘We’re not going to have a country’: Former US President Donald Trump on 2024 elections

Former US President Donald Trump has claimed he is least bothered about winning the 2024 elections because he is worried “we’re not going to have a country” in three years. The former president made the remarks during an interview with MyPillow CEO and conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell.  “I have a lot of good people say, sir, forget about 2020. You’re going to win, you’re way up in the polls, you’re going to win, I say we’re not going to have a country in three years,” Trump said.

“This guy [Biden] did this in nine months, he destroyed our country. And I say ‘Make America Great Again,’ that was my theme, and it was going to be ‘Keep America Great… America is not great, America is a laughingstock all over the world.”

Trump recently made a similar ominous prediction during an appearance on Sean Spicer’s Newsmax show. “And you go to these elections coming up in ’22 and ’24 — we’re not going to have a country left. The election was rigged and we’re not going to have a country left in three years, I’ll tell you that,” he said in September.

During the Lindell interview, Trump also lashed out at the media for trying to cover up the “2020 presidential election scam” because he and his allies are “too close” to proving it.

“They don’t want it to be revealed. They will do anything to stop it. And when you hear silence, when you hear all of that, that’s the thing they want: silence.”

Lindell has been a vocal proponent of the so-called “Big Lie” that Trump had been denied a victory in the 2020 election.

Lindell is also facing a lawsuit for $1.3 billion by Dominion Voting Systems for repeatedly pushing the false claim that the voting machine supplier helped rig the election in favor of Biden.
