Wow.

President Trump just boldly declared that he was actually the winner of the popular vote in the 2016 presidential election.

While giving remarks at Fort Bragg this afternoon, President Trump said that it weren’t for fraud, then he would have won the popular vote along with the electoral college in 2016.

The “official” election results say that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 by a substantial margin.

This is something Democrats have bragged about despite Clinton’s ultimate defeat.

In 2016, CNN reported:

More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history.

The Democrat outpaced President-elect Donald Trump by almost 2.9 million votes, with 65,844,954 (48.2%) to his 62,979,879 (46.1%), according to revised and certified final election results from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Clinton’s 2.1% margin ranks third among defeated candidates, according to statistics from US Elections Atlas. Andrew Jackson won by more than 10% in 1824 but was denied the presidency, which went to John Quincy Adams. In 1876, Samuel Tilden received 3% more votes than Rutherford B. Hayes, who eventually triumphed by one electoral vote.

But, even back then, President Trump noted that if it weren’t for Democrats allowing illegal aliens to vote, he would have beat her in the popular vote, too.

Flashback to this post-election tweet from 2016:

In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

What a legend!

President Trump always speaks the truth.

And, the truth is that election integrity is one of the biggest problems in our nation.

I have to wonder if the fact that President Trump is bringing up voter fraud now means that he’s about to expose it all…

he’s got the receipts, let’s see them
