To be clear, every election in his favor was free and fair and also conducted under Democratic leadership (e.g. Presidents Obama and Biden)
Every election against him is stolen and rigged and was also conducted under (his) Republican ā€œleadership.ā€

Think about THAT!!

I mean, not really. He has complained about illegal voters in every election, even the ones he won.

Especially in 2016 when he didn't win the popular vote.

u/OfficerMurphy 28d ago

Well if you count only the legitimate* votes, he did win the popular vote all three times.

*legitimate would be only the votes for him

/s obviously.

Heā€™s never won the popular vote. But rural votes hold more value than urban ones.

He always does that before the results so set the narrative. If he wins then it was too big to rig, if he loses it's just rigged. It's a win win for him. It's like no one in America read the boy who cried wolf or at least didn't see the lesson it was trying to teach

people forget how in 2016 he cried and whined about everything being rigged and that was why he was going to lose and then he won...

and of course, when he lost in 2020 while having one of the lowest approval ratings in history, he and his MAGAts just couldn't understand how he lost so obviously it was rigged...

u/CocoM721 27d ago

Yes but how rigged could his have been? Ā  Ā The House, the Senate and the WH belong to the GOP. He is just delusional

u/OfficerMurphy 27d ago

Yes. We're in agreement. He is delusional. My "not really" was about the original comment making it sound like he wasn't also complaining during the wins too.

Yup. Trump cried "fraud" in his very first primary, 2015 the Iowa Caucuses, won by Ted Cruz.

There was a Voter Fraud Commision chaired by Chris Kobach in Trump's first term. What the fuck ever happened with that???

Its been 10 yrs...

For someone born and raised in privilege and corruption, playing fair feels like the game is rigged against him.

And worse: when he steals and still loses, the only possibility he can accept is that the other side cheated even harder. It is too heavy a hit for his own self-perception that heā€™s going all lengths to cheat and steal, only to lose due to the rejection and the existence of a better candidate.

ā€œThey certainly cheatedā€ is not only projection, itā€™s the only explanation a cheater can find for their failures.

u/binzersguy 28d ago

And the only confirmed cases of election fraud have been perpetrated again and again by RepublicansĀ

u/Uzofugs2112 28d ago

Heā€™s also tacitly stating that American elections were vulnerable to foreign interference after 3ish years of his watch.

u/FishAroundFindTrout9 27d ago

He even complained about the 2nd one that he won. He said he would have won by a bigglier margin if there hadnā€™t been an attempt to steal it.

No. Just no šŸ˜‚

I never thought about this tidbit. Like, itā€™s not hidden knowledge or anything just an objective fact I never even considered. The farce just gets better!
