Without evidence, Trump tells lawmakers 3-5 million illegal ballots cost him the popular vote

[MountCleaners]

Source: Washington Post


Days after being sworn in, President Trump insisted to congressional leaders invited to a reception at the White House that he would have won the popular vote had it not been for millions of illegal votes, according to people familiar with the meeting.

Trump has repeatedly claimed, without evidence, that widespread voter fraud caused him to lose the popular vote to Hillary Clinton, even while he clinched the presidency with an electoral college victory.

Two people familiar with the meeting said Trump spent about 10 minutes at the top of the gathering with Republican and Democratic lawmakers rehashing the campaign. Trump also told them that between 3 million and 5 million illegal votes caused him to lose the popular vote.

Trump lies again! The needling about his popular vote loss must really be getting to him. It's not even one lie a day, it's several.

[GreenEyedLefty]

1. And here I thought W was the least suited to the presidency.

Boy, was I wrong.

[Charles Bukowski]

7. Trump is less suited for the presidency than Palin. It's not even close.

Trump is ANTI-PRESIDENTIAL.

[cstanleytech]

17. Hell, Bristol Palin would even be an improvement over Trump. nt

[MurrayDelph]

20. TRIG Palin

would be an improvement.

[cstanleytech]

22. Heck some pond scum would be a step up in the evolutionary ladder over Trump. nt

[Charles Bukowski]

30. I struggle to come up with names less presidential than this nitwit.

Charles Manson? That's one.
Green River Killer? That's two.

Cher? She could do a better job, honestly.


What about Charlie Sheen? That's a tough one.

[hollowdweller]

24. When Bush won I thought "what have people done?"

Facts proved me to be ultimately right.

Now I'm saying it once again and Trumps crew is not as competent as Bush's.

[jmowreader]

41. Are you nuts?

Not only is Sarah Palin more suited for the presidency than Donald Trump, pretty much the entire population of the Texas Death Row is more qualified to be president than the Bad Year Blimp.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

37. Bush looks positively statesmanlike next to the orange buffoon.

And I thought Bush was the biggest moron ever to blight the White House.

[enough]

2. The man is nuts. NT

[JTFrog]

3. Alternative facts.

[BeyondGeography]

Glad it bugs the shit out of him and he can't let go.

21. The Most Dangerous Clown

[appleannie1943]

26. In a month he should be sitting in a corner rocking back and forth singing lullabyes all day long.

The man is totally bonkers and it won't take much to put him completely over the edge.

[briv1016]

27. He and the republican are going to try and use this excuse to pass 50 state voter ID.

[SoCalNative]

52. My thought exactly

His puppet masters will ensure it.

[bighart]

61. Then we need to DEMAND

they produce PROOF that voter fraud is a real thing
Make them investigate and hold public hearings and produce a report on the record.

[rzemanfl]

28. Batshit doesn't even come close to describing how fucking

crazy he is. Wait until he appoints a horse to the Supreme Court.

[underpants]

33. Well, they had horses in colonial days

So it would probably be an originalist, which is good don't you think? I do.

Paraphrasing Hannity or all of their media if he did that.
I listen to too much talk radio.

[rzemanfl]

36. I think he will have a hell of time figuring out if a horse is

pro-life or not.

[BadgerMom]

29. A lie

…is a lie is a lie.

[underpants]

31. A loser doesn't know when he's won

[roamer65]

32. Another alternative fact.

[Girard442]

34. Uhhh....folks....

...I dig snappy one-liners as much as the next guy, but we've got to start seriously pointing out to everyone who might listen that our POTUS is clearly dangerously mentally incompetent and everybody would know it if they weren't so deep in denial.

[orangecrush]

35. Let me

Out of here.

[orangecrush]

38. So which Democrat stood up and Told Trump publicly

That he is a liar?

The republicans did it to Obama, with no justification.

In this case it could be proved.

What are they afraid of?

[imaginary girl]

39. No problem ...

We'll just have a revote!

[retrowire]

40. I'm insulted. Nt

[luvMIdog]

42. Hit him where his IMAGE lives

If they keep repeating numbers and things he feels makes him less than his predecessors he will unravel at the seams. This guy covets to be the biggest , the best, like no other. Smack down that IMAGE

[RobinA]

43. Talk About

somebody who needs to get over it! I can see we're in for at least 4 years of rehashing every imagined slight that rolls off the presses.

[tanyev]

44. Keep it up, Donald. Everybody loves a sore winner.

[Tetunot]

45. Uhh Ohhh

Whenever BLOTUS tweets something outrageous. It means he's deflecting from
something else. So it's either some awful legislation or more info on how he stole the election.

[bucolic_frolic]

46. I don't think he's lying

as much as telegraphing his intent

It will be illegal to vote against him next time

[C Moon]

47. What a nut.

[Javaman]

48. he's on crack. nt

[hibbing]

49. DU should have a lie tally board

Of course it would be a full time job to keep track of them all.

On edit,of course his stupid supporters believe them or just don't care, probably a 50/50 split.

Peace

[SamKnause]

50. What did the spineless Democratic politicians do ???

Smile and nod ???

Speak up and correct the record ???

[sarcasmo]

51. Trump Lies, the reality series.

[0rganism]

53. forget Truth for a minute. ask yourself "what does this justify?"

clearly Trump and his cartel plan to operate with their own set of facts, at least externally. the truth value of any given proposition is irrelevant.

instead, i assume Trump plans to act as if the 3-5 million people who cost him the popular vote did vote illegally.

expect voting to be much harder for all of us in 2018 and, needless to say, 2020. Trump needs only to ramp up the existing GOP strategy of putting specific ID constraints on voting and voila! "problem solved"

we need a full-on broadside effort to ensure every Democratic voter has the full slate of ID necessary to vote in their particular state. otherwise it won't matter what else we do going forward.

[TalenaGor]

54. omg this fuckwit - nothing matters but WINNING n/t

[MFM008]

55. when has he needed evidence?

he has ALTERNATE FACTS..................

[cstanleytech]

56. He spews forth lie after lie and many republicans seem willing to swill it down and then ask for

seconds.

[pansypoo53219]

57. we are lucky twitler is mostly reviled, unlike reagan + georgee who fooled far more people.

[Blue_Roses]

58. Omg...

[Snarkoleptic]

59. The internal conflict caused by reality vs.

the Rasputinesque whispers of Steve Bannon, have Trump's mental health strained beyond crisis level.

[wishstar]

60. ABC Good Morning America news clearly stated Trump's allegations have been proven false

At least mainstream media is calling out his falsehoods, although we know most loyal Trumpsters still believe his lies

[itcfish]

62. It is a well known fact

that those 3 million illegal alien votes went to Trump. They just love him. So the election should be declared null and void!

[OKIsItJustMe]

64. I hate to say it, but I agree

Damn those illegal aliens!

OK, let’s try this again folks…

[Stonepounder]

65. And Trump's lawyers SWORE in court there was ABSOLUTELY NO evidence of illegal immigrants

voting when they were opposing Jill Stein's request for a recount. So, did his lawyers commit perjury or is Trump lying?

Or are these just more 'Alternative Facts'?

63. Even Mike Huckabee Has No Clue What Donald Trumps Voter Fraud Claims Are About

Even Mike Huckabee Has No Clue What Donald Trump’s Voter Fraud Claims Are About
“I’m not sure why he brought it up.”
01/24/2017 10:20 am ET

President Donald Trump’s false claim that millions of people voted illegally in the election even has former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) ― a steadfast Trump supporter ― scratching his head.

Trump told leaders on Capitol Hill on Monday that he only lost the popular vote because 3 million to 5 million “illegals” voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton. It’s a claim that he’s repeatedly made since November, but there’s no evidence to support it.

In a Tuesday interview with Fox Business Network, Huckabee said he didn’t know why Trump kept bringing it up.

“I have no evidence whatsoever, and I don’t know that anyone does, that there are that many illegal people who voted. And frankly it doesn’t matter. He’s the president and whether 20 million people voted, it doesn’t matter anymore,” Huckabee said. “I’m not sure why he brought it up.”
