on 3 Sept 2024, Trump was interviewed by Lex Fridman, who recorded it in his Podcast #442 starting at about ~~ 11.00, " i was told that if I get 63 million votes, which is what i got when i won in 2016, i'd win. i got millions more than than that, but lost by a whisker.
It was more than a whisker. It was a narrow margin in some states. But multiple states. Surprised he even said it though. Accidental honesty during a senior moment?
It’s not the first time he’s admitted he lost. This is why the defense of Jan 6 and other efforts he took to overturn the 2020 ring hollow. He knew he lost. Most of that call with Raffensperger was Raffensperger reminding him he lost and he acknowledging he lost by 11000 votes but that Raffensperger should find him some more votes. Trump probably knows her could lose again this time that’s why he’s continually been saying this election will be stolen.
LOL..............When you back a lie for this long only to find out he was a fraudster, STFU you POS. You dedicated your life to a snake oil salesman, deal with the consequences
IOW, Nick knew the whole Stop the Steal thing was a lie but he insists that Trump keeps up the lie for the whole plausible deniability thing?
Anyone who pays attention and understands the basics of election law know that Trump lost. I remember reading a few years back a very conservative MI Republican state senator looked into the election and quickly concluded it wasn’t stolen. For that he was roundly condemned by his own caucus and constituents. We saw many Republican state officials testify to that during the J6 hearings and many of them not only lost their positions but faced threats to their own and their family’s safety.
