Trump very specifically said if he lost he'd claim the other side cheated.
He lost and claimed the other side cheated.
Then millions of rubes managed to convince themselves that there's no way the least popular President of the modern era could possibly have lost an election while a pandemic raged and the economy was in the toilet. Nope, it must have been the cabal of baby-eating satan-worshipers that fixed the election for one of their own.
It would be really funny if it wasn't so fucking sad and pathetic.
Trump wins by a super slim margin in 2016, then he and his supporters spend the next 4 years being intentionally antagonistic and obnoxious in general.
Remember when Trump claimed without evidence that millions voted illegally in 2016, because he was butthurt that he lost the popular vote by 2.8 million?
Remember when Trump created a voter fraud commission in 2017 to investigate his claims, only to have it disband after a year because his administration found no evidence of widespread voter fraud?
I remember... He's been lying about "voter fraud" since 2016.
Edit: This article from 2017 is still very relevant today:
The executive order was the culmination of months of unfounded charges of voter fraud by President Trump and his surrogates, dating back to the campaign. In the run-up to Nov. 8, President Trump asserted the election was “rigged” and warned of “large scale voter fraud.”
Twenty days after being elected, he claimed he would have won the popular vote “if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”
