Donald Trump has already declared victory in Georgia — nine months before the state’s Republican presidential primary is set to take place, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Just a day after having a full-blown meltdown about a poll that showed a dramatic drop in support, the ex-president claimed a “big win” in Georgia, where he recently posed for a mugshot in connection to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

    I mean … a lot of ppl will be pro trump in front of trump.

    But in the ballot box? He already lost once. They will look, remember his insane & angry criminal mugshot, and … vote someone else.

        He lost at the height of his popularity. Now he has loser stink, nevermind all the embarrassing criminal charges and him convincing his base their votes don’t matter. On top, they blew through their campaign funds too early in the last election, and reports are his campaign’s already going broke from him dipping in to fight court cases.

        The public doesn’t want him and the money doesn’t want him. If he’s the Republican nominee, I’d actually be fairly confident in a Dem win.

    As of August 16th through the 23rd, Trump had a 42 point lead over Desantis in Georgia:

    So claiming a win is no big surprise.

    The only thing that might change that are the televised trials starting with Chesebro on 10/23, we don’t have trial dates on Sidney Powell (the other Speedy Trial request) or anyone else.

    The primary is on March 12th, so that’s almost 5 months of televised trials that might change opinion.

    But as of right now? Yeah, Trump is at 57% with a 42 point lead over the #2 spot, and nobody else is close.
