It's a little like when the guy getting kicked out of the bar starts yelling about this bar sucker. Sure buddy, okay...

Nah. He just realized that he can veto it, and it would take a hell of backbone for enough MAGA to stand up and overturn it.

Trump doesn't realize anything any longer. His dementia is so far off the cliff he's incapable of reason and planning, only able to react in the moment.

As to the veto, my money says there are so many GOP defectors as to be veto proof. Those rats are bailing off this sinking ship. They know just how damning these files are and they want to get ahead of the game, "I was all for releasing the evidence!" Can you imagine what primary contenders would do to those fuckers if they vote no?! 😂

Combine that foresight with Trump's obvious dementia. They know he's a cult leader and the end is near. Voting to release the files is the only way Republicans break free of this insanity.

I hope you are right!

The play here is to attempt to pocket veto and pretend that there is nothing to be done.

He just discovered reverse psychology and he thinks they won’t do it now.

[–] CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one 19 points 2 days ago

Nah... He got confirmation from Bondi and Patel that he'd be scrubbed from anything they release. It's just another coverup.

I love how everyone in the comments here confidently give a different reason for Trump doing this.

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Ha, well put!

He's counting on the senate majority leader not bringing it up for a vote. Likely because Thune has been bribed or threatened behind the scenes.

He's still on bargaining.

He's saying they should release "the files" and they probably will, just like they already have 3-5 times. And they'll keep saying that it's everything when it's the same thing.
