Trump says "I'm the last one that wants to complain," will only "trust" Midterm results "if the elections are honest..."

Trump said he will only accept the GOP losing control of Congress in this November’s midterms if he considers the elections to have been “honest.”

Speaking to NBC’s Tom Llamas, the 79-year-old president was pressed on whether he would trust the midterm results after his suggestion that Republicans should “nationalize” election races across the country.

“I will, if the elections are honest,” Trump said. “I’m the last one that wants to complain. I just had a great election. They say one of the greatest elections—you will agree—ever. Won all seven swing states, won 84 percent of the counties in America, that’s why the map is all red.

“We just had a great election. I believe there was cheating.”

...and as much as I'd love to see that, I think what I'd enjoy more is answers and legal ramifications for Trump "thanking" Musk for "being so good with election system computers."

Trump really has only one communication style...loud-mouthed boasting and bullying...so maybe there was some substance to that remark, maybe there wasn't.

But if there WAS, I'd LOVE to see Musk BEHIND BARS.

This, instead of everything being a "rigged election!" "Crooked Hillary!" "Sleepy Joe!"

The stupid, grifting mother fucker never stops complaining! He can't open his lying pie hole without whining about everything. I swear, if I ever saw him in person, that is what I would shout at him - to shut up and stop whining like a spoiled man-baby.

He accepts election results if he wins. If he loses, he'll claim the elections were rigged.
