    Eh, he’s lightly alluded to that before. But then his cult start freaking out or his ego takes a ding. And then it’s back to the vociferous “stolen election” bullshit.

    Said on the other thread:

    No. He always knew it. That was part of the Jan 6 commission findings. That he appears to be altering his past statements to solicit support from a particular audience is not that notable, there are lots of examples.

    I’m a Free Thinking Republican and this is ONLY happening because the Deep State is trying to Kill Trump as demonstrated by sending a Child Assassin to MISS on Purpose to send a message to Trump because they’re scared of Him. That’s LITERALLY the ONLY reason why he’s saying this! I think for Myself!

          Or, perhaps, the reader is nodding along the whole way and completely misses the point — because they’re already a fucking moron? Don’t feed trolls, even by accidental crumbs. 🙇🏽‍♂️

    Vice President Harris needs to ask him this question in the debate, but more importantly if he says yes, ask him when he realized he lost.

    In a podcast interview with Russian American computer scientist Lex Fridman that aired Tuesday, Trump acknowledged that he lost the presidential election “by a whisker.” (You can check out Trump’s comments around the 11:10 mark.) The surprising remarks follow a similar comment by Trump at a Moms for Liberty conference last week, saying Biden “beat us by a whisker”—before baselessly claiming that Democrats “used Covid to cheat.” At a press conference at the southern border last month, Trump said that he came up “just a little bit short” in the last election.

    He just repeat the last thing someone says to him, so it’s just a matter of time until he came back saying that the election was stolen.

      Was that when

      Donald Trump tweets: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!”

      Or do you mean the video he posted a few hours later where he continued to insist the election was ‘stolen’

      “I know your pain. I know your hurt,” he said. “We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now.”

      What did he say on January 6th?

      Edit: So I had seen clips and read lots of articles about what Trump said on January 6th, but I had never read the transcript. So I thought, why not? Let’s see it without anyone else telling me what it says. Holy shit, it was so much worse than I thought.

          I don’t believe that happened, can you provide a link of him saying it or a reputable source quoting him saying that?

          Because I feel like I saw that episode and at no point did he admit to losing…
