Shitfaced Giuliani reportedly pushed Trump to 'just say we won' on election night

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani reportedly "infuriated" former President Donald Trump's advisers by urging him to simply declare he won on election night 2020 "based on nothing."

An excerpt from the book I Alone Can Fix It published in The Washington Post Tuesday recounts election night 2020 inside the Trump campaign, describing how Giuliani started telling other guests at the White House's viewing party that he had "come up with a strategy for Trump and was trying to get into the president's private quarters to tell him about it." Some "thought Giuliani may have been drinking too much," according to the book.

Giuliani reportedly then presented this strategy to Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and senior adviser Jason Miller, urging them to prematurely declare victory in multiple states even though votes were still being counted and projections hadn't been made.

"Giuliani's grand plan was to just say Trump won, state after state, based on nothing," the book says. "Stepien, Miller and Meadows thought his argument was both incoherent and irresponsible."

I was with a group of people from a company we did business with having dinner at a conference. Two other guys also ended up with us.
The waiter took drink orders, and the guy across from me ordered a Dewars and soda. When I placed my order, I told the waiter I would be picking up the check, and one of the other guys heard me.
When it came time to order dinner, the Dewars guy started with an order for......a double Glenlivet on the rocks.

then the elections would have been rigged. Noun/verb/9/11 just told him what he wanted to hear.

Trump embraced this idea before Rudy suggested it and has run with it ever since.

TP was "infuriated" about that with Shoe Dye rudy.

Look at all the Buck$ & Brainwashed Cult Members' reactions since then.

The Cult needed that Gaslit Lie to hold on to :
