Trump Doubles Down on False Victory Claim: ‘I Easily Win’ With Legal Votes
In his first public appearance since late on Election Night, President Trump on Thursday doubled down on his claims, against all evidence, that he is the clear winner of the election.
“If you count the legal votes, I easily win. If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us,” Trump said, alleging “historic election interference” while also boasting of “massive victories” in some states.
Trump also went on to introduce a new Hail Mary into his repertoire of attacks on the electoral process, claiming that pre-election polls led to “voter suppression.”
