    This is not a clip of Trump admitting he or his team rigged the 2024 election, it’s willful misconstrual by whoever posted this bullshit clip. This is disinformation and should be taken down.

        to be fair (not that Trump really deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point), the clip doesnt really make it clear if he’s saying they rigged the 2024 election in his favor, or if he’s referring again to his conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was rigged against him (with the implication being that he was “supposed” to win the 2020 one and therefore would have been ineligible to run for the 2024-2028 term)

          Yeah Trump is a massive douche - but this wasn’t him saying they rigged the election. You can tell he’s saying that in his first term he was sad he wouldn’t be president in 2026, but then accused his opponents of rigging the 2020 election, then saying he won in 2024 so he’ll be president in 2026.

          Again, Trump is a massive douche. I hate that I even have to come across as defending him here. I’m just saying this fuckknuckle has done enough real shit that we don’t need to focus on shit that isn’t real.

        Yes, I did. Trump admittedly has trouble forming cogent sentences, but you have to be be be engaging in wishful thinking to think he’s admitting to rigging the election.

        Judging from the downvotes, I guess there are a lot of lemmings that are that pathetic.

      You know it’s too bad, one was in 2026 and one was in 2028, and I said “I won’t be there I won’t be your President”, but then they rigged the election, and now we won so I’m going to be your President for the Olympics, and for the World Cup.

        I watched the clip. Anyone who thinks he’s admitting to rigging the election is really reaching for something that just ain’t true. Apparently Lemmy likes its alternative facts fantasies too.

          I transcribed the pertinent portion of the video, did I leave any relevant context out? Is this another of those he’s just saying things? Or perhaps “Democrats” are the they that did the rigging, letting Trump win? Whatever, I’m not going to give it any more thought. The text is there, as accurately as I could hear it. He said it, but if you think the man is incapable of admitting to anything just by saying it, then that’s fair.

      He explicitly says the words, "and then they rigged the election, and now I’m your president.’ Just watch the clip. Dunno why he keeps saying stuff like this, but it’s not like the clip was edited.
