  1. Hm, so if Trump is admitting that he actually lost the election in 2020, isn’t he also basically admitting that he tried to illegally overturn the results of a legitimate election? Jack Smith should definitely be able to use this admission in Trump’s election subversion case.

  2. He brags about how many more votes he got than in 2016 but then says he lost by a whisker. The popular vote wasn’t that close.

  3. I’ve seen this headline before over the last 3-4 years. I don’t think it changed much then, and despite the court proceedings and convictions since, I’m out of hope that this monster will face consequences for Jan 6th any time before he dies

  4. Yeah. I wish Lex had pushed him on that more. I know it’s not his style but damn. He said “we lost by a whisker” and then Lex goes back to it later and basically says he has a lot of Independent friends who like Trump and his policies but couldn’t stand how he behaved after he lost in 2020 and it seems like he’s gonna ask Trump to reaffirm that he lost and not that it was stolen and that he’ll accept the results in 2024, but then Trump just bloviates around it and they move on.

  5. Wow. He did what a child learns to do when they’re 5. Maybe we should give him a nice shiny trophy so he can go fuck himself with it.

    I assumed this was just An Onion headline. They’ve been fooling me a lot these days, but this one seemed suspect.

    In his 2020 rallies, Mango literally said numerous times “if I lose, I’ll just claim fraud.”

    He told the rubes what his grift would be ahead of time and they still fell for it.

    And last week he said if Jesus had counted the votes he would have easily carried the state of California.

    Every time he’s available, reporters need to ask him when he realized he lost the election. Was this a recent thing?

    What will happen to millions of Trump’s brain dead supporters who believed him that he did not lose?

    What will happen to those in the jail right now who fought like hell for him?

  11. I doubt he’s admitting it here. He will simply say the extra votes Boden got were fake and illegal or some shit.

  12. He’ll likely just pivot to the whole “they changed the rules” and “they suppressed Hunter’s laptop” line of bullshit to sidestep the fact that the majority of voters do not and have never cared for him.

  13. Note that he would never have said this at a rally.

    He needs to lie to those folks to keep them angry.

    But he knows he lost. Oddly, he lost by the exact same electoral count as he won by. But in his win it was a “landslide”…in his loss it was a “whisker”.

  14. His logic seriously seems to be

    “Well, I got a lot of votes last time and won. I got more votes this time therefore there is no way I could have lost”

    What a fucking moron

  15. Also: admitted that he thinks he “has every right” to try to treasonous.y overturn the election results.

    Last Friday I watched the recorded Trump rally in [ Potterville](https://www.yahoo.com/news/why-donald-trump-visiting-potterville-183238614.html), Michigan to see our Republican Nominee.

     At the end he said there were thousands of people lining the street as far as the eye could see. I saw that if there was anywhere near a crowd of 100 people trying to catch a glimpse of his motorcade, that was a stretch. We know Trump lies to us, all politicians do. It’s part of the DJT Show at every rally. But there weren’t thousands of people there. Why did he tell such an obvious lie? 

     A few days later he said the Dems are allowing abortions in the ninth month and that they are even having births and then executing the babies.  What?  Am I so Stupid I believe any part of that? I went back to the Potterville YouTube video with angry eyes and saw almost everything he’s telling us is a lie. And how much more is he lying that we just accept? My 92-year-old father regales me with his life in the past, over and over, a lot like a DJT Show. But my dad would never outright Lie to me.

     And I just heard Trump’s interview yesterday that he admitted he lost the 2020 election. His entire stance has been the 2020 election was stolen; all his followers have done nothing but accept that as the Truth. That’s the stance of the Entire Republican Party!  Now he’s admitting that’s been nothing but a Lie.

     I can’t believe how badly we’ve been taken as fools and suckers. Niki Haley had it right, Trump can’t win in November. I feel Trump just doesn’t care and he knows that I’m an Abused Republican and I will shut up and vote for him, it’s my duty.

     I didn’t spend over 20 years in Uniform to fall for that.  I am not voting for Trump!

     Time for all of us to Not Vote for Trump!

    “But only because the other side cheated by getting more votes! That’s not fair!”

  18. The five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and **acceptance**.

    We finally made it to the end. Just in time for him to start it all over again in November.

    Headlines like this annoy me. Why are we even wasting time with this?

    Seriously, ask him again, deliberately. He will deny it. Donald will always say whatever stream of consciousness slop is slushing around in his petulant, senile brain.

    If we make it a headline every time he contradicts himself, we’ll never stop hearing about him.

    The show is old. Cancel this old man already. Let’s all move on. Vote Blue.

  20. The first clue became apparent when somebody else assumed the office of POTUS for the last four years

  21. Summary of what he said: “I was told if I got more than 63 million votes I couldn’t lose, I got more than that and lost by a whisker”

    Sounds like he was convinced by yes men that he couldn’t lose so when he actually did the reaction was to deny reality and insist he had won and try to overturn the results

  22. Both Trump and every elected republican knows he lost the elction. They say otherwise to justify voter suppression laws and future challenges to elctions they lose. It is a lie with the purpose of suppressing the will of the people in a democratic republic. VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

  23. He’s going to say that he had to “interfere” because the election was “stolen” from him.

  24. So his logic is he got 63 million votes, more than when he actually won, so he should win again? The fact that he lost the popular vote by millions against not only Biden but Clinton as well is irrelevant I guess.

    I admit it’s interesting to hear him admit he lost using any combination of words, but at the same time when I heard this it’s like you could tell he still didn’t believe it.

  26. So aren’t the nice terrorists who stormed the capital a little red faced now? Or orange faced?
