Leaked Audio Reveals Trump Planned to Declare Victory in 2020 Regardless of Election Outcome
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mother Jones magazine has published leaked audio of President Trump's
former chief strategist telling his associates Trump had a plan to
declare victory on election night in 2020 - even if he was losing. Steve
Bannon made the remarks just three days before the election.

Stephen Bannon: "If Trump is losing by 10:00 or 11:00 at night, it's
going to be even crazier. No, because he's going to sit right there and
say, 'They stole it. I'm directing the attorney general to shut down all
ballot places in all 50 states.' It's going to be - no, he's not going
out easy. If Trump - if Biden is winning, Trump is going to do some
crazy shit."
