"President Donald Trump dropped a new riff on his election lies by telling troops that he won the popular vote in 2016 by a lot thereby inventing millions of votes he did not win. Trump has spent years falsely claiming that the 2020 election was rigged against him and/or stolen from him, despite the fact that Biden defeated Trump in an electoral landslide that has been reaffirmed over and over by state officials from Trump's own party and dozens of court decisions."
"And you saw what happened in the last election. We won at a landslide. We won every swing state, all seven swing states. We won by millions of votes, the popular vote. You know, the first time I won, but they say I didn't win the popular vote, you know I did. I won it by a lot, but they said I didn't."
President Donald Trump told troops he won the 2016 popular vote by a large margin, inventing millions of votes he did not win. He has spent years claiming the 2020 election was rigged or stolen from him, despite Biden defeating Trump in an electoral landslide. That 2020 outcome has been reaffirmed repeatedly by state officials from Trump's own party and by dozens of court decisions. Trump's recent remarks came en route to Fort Bragg and during a Texas speech to military families, where he praised local Republicans and urged support for a Senate candidate. He repeated claims about winning every swing state and the popular vote, contradicting the documented 2016 popular-vote deficit of almost three million votes.
