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.

So….something you lost fair and square can’t be stolen…right?
This guy is a weird joke.

The people who he encouraged to attack the US Captiol on Jan 6th must he glad to hear that
CalmAspectEast on
He’s admitted it here and there since the election but it never gets talked about.
hitman2218 on
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.

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

Which means he knowingly LIED about it, for the past 4 years. Not that GOP cares
jerrychorizo on
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.

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

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

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.

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”.
Dudist_PvP on
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

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

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.

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.

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.
