Trump and the Truth: The “Rigged” Election

 https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/trump-and-the-truth-the-rigged-election

“The election is going to be rigged—I’m going to be honest,” Donald Trump said to a rowdy crowd in August, at a rally in Columbus, Ohio. “People are going to walk in and they’re going to vote ten times, maybe,” Trump told an interviewer later. A few days afterward, in Pennsylvania, where Trump was then lagging by nine points in the polls, he warned supporters that “the only way we can lose . . . is if cheating goes on.” That week, a new page appeared on his campaign Web site, inviting concerned citizens to volunteer to be “Trump Election Observers” so that they could “help me stop Crooked Hillary from rigging this election!”

  1. Selective history.
    Yes, before the election Trump repeatedly claimed that if he lost it was because it was rigged.
    And the night after he won, Hillary and co. announced that because she lost it must have been rigged.
