Almost a week after Democrats swept the midterms with historic gains in Congress and downballot races, Donald Trump denied the legitimacy of election results across the country and resurrected old conspiracy theories about voting machines.
“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest,” Trump posted on social media Monday morning. “How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote. It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”
Democrats saw historic, sweeping gains across the country last week. They won the largest majority in decades in the U.S. House of Representatives, flipped party control of the U.S. Senate and clinched control of local governments in numerous states.
He is impervious to doing good things. That early “concession” just couldn’t last.
I got a piece of paper and a marker and filled in the boxes on the paper with the marker. It was a little embarrassing to be honest. Are the Sharpies rigged? I used my own Sharpie if that makes a difference.
This shit is old and stale, and nobody buys it anymore. Nobody cheated, because they didn’t have to cheat, everybody just hates Trump and MAGA that much.
His problem wasn’t even the Democrats, he should expect them to vote against him. His problem is the Independents, who went against him nearly 100%. EVERY election in America is decided by the Independents, and they broke AGAINST Trump in a major way.
After the election was over I personally saw some voting machines removed from my local rec center and placed in a truck for removal and storage of the unit. Make of that what you will. /s
What took him so long?
He forgot until Saturday Night Live did a bit about him forgetting to do the denialism. I think he watched that and remembered to do it.
Sedatives on election day
Shut up, dumbfuck. All you do is lie and everyone knows it.
The definition of “everbody,”" while including us, sadly does not include a very large number of people.
I think there was a part of me that was expecting everything to become awesome literally overnight. I think there are MAGA people abandoning ship now, but there are still some MAGA morons remaining. News stories about ICE still have commenters demanding “the whole story” because they can’t acknowledge that sometimes ICE acts immorally
I think his base is a lot less likely to swallow this shit when they know how dissatisfied they themselves feel.
His base will gladly swallow his orange shit, and ask for more.
His base would let him shit in their mouths if it meant minorities kept getting hurt…then they’d blame Biden for it tasting so bad
The midterm vote was not honest, we know that because of the open and obvious gerrymandering and voter suppression the GOP was leaning fuck you hard on. They fucked up so bad that in an election specifically rigged by them for GOP victories they got absolutely fucking trounced.
“Could it be that we have fomented this unquenchable hatred towards ourselves and that we can only blame our losses on our own abject failures?
….No, it’s the voters who are wrong!”
The gerrymandering actually backfired on them and magnified their loss. Cherry on top really.
That was beautiful. They seemed to think that if they gerrymandered those districts out of existence, they also made the votes disappear, but that’s now how it works. Those votes still exist, they’ve just been put into a previously safe red district, thus diluting it, and making it susceptible to a flip. In most elections, it wouldn’t matter, but in a once in a century wave, they can ALL flip. And that’s exactly what happened.
Hilarious, and a perfect future lesson to teach students the nuances of gerrymandering.
Trying to squeeze out more seats and paying for it with margins.
This gif is evergreen
Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote
What he means is that in some races, Republicans would have lost if every single Dem voter had stayed home on election day…
Because so many Dem voters couldn’t wait and voted early.
With threats of armed goons stalking polling places on Election Day, who could blame anyone for getting in an early vote?
Exactly. We were there on the first day of early voting. Especially because when you vote in person in this state, you have to vote at the exact precinct to which you are assigned. In a blue bubble next to a red metro in a red state, NO WAY we were waiting for whatever shit he had planned for last Tuesday.
He said to vote like he was on the ballot. He talked loudly about an “October surprise” while he performatively placed National Guardsmen at a ballot box in DC. He talked about “DoJ presence” at polling places and tried very hard to float the credible threat of ICE violence at voting sites. He talked a lot of shit. This time, I took him at his word.
And we’re not the only ones who believed it because never before have I ever seen a line during early voting, and certainly never at the midterms, but we actually had to wait a bit to get in.
Honestly, you know you’re hated when midterms have this much of a turnout. Most people seem to only turn out for voting every 4 years, and skip the midterms.
I’m just surprised he didn’t say it sooner. The little bitch.
I think they had him sedated or something so he wouldn’t pop a blood vessel when results came in. He was way too calm for those few days. Uncharacteristically for him.
Yeah it was weird. The day after he was just rambling about the ballroom like he was on another planet. Definitely not what he got us used too. Either they sedated him, he brain snapped and he’s in total denial, or he’s cooking something bad.
In his interview with 60 Minutes, he actually talked about walking back his immigration policies. Of course, during the broadcast of this interview, 60 Minutes pointed out that after the interview he made Stephen Miller chief of staff and that seems to contradict this promise
We know he agrees with the last person he talked with so I guess Stephen Miller got to him after that.
“Look Big Guy, you’ve done enough to save America, and these animals obviously don’t appreciate it. How about you just tend to your legacy and building projects, and let me handle the executive functions, huh? You have fun, and I do all the hard work, how does that sound?”
Of course Trump would respond positively to that.
They really whacked grandpa with some Versed

How could the Polls be so wrong???
What polls? Show me any polls that didn’t predict a blue wave.
I bet this means nobody dared to tell him how bad the poll data actually was.
That’s one thing I haven’t been able to figure out. I know he’s surrounded by yes-men, but is he really that sheltered? He has to have directly been told he’s a piece of shit by hundreds, if not thousands. What goes on in his head? He’s consistently up there with Musk as one of the most hated people in the U.S.
I know he’s surrounded by yes-men, but is he really that sheltered?
More than you might think. They’re not just sycophants, but people who have now gotten jobs in or near the Oval Office itself, working for a highly volatile, unstable man-baby who screams at and fires people on the regular just because he needs someone to blame. I’m sure some of them, especially the younger ones, are traumatized.
So it’s everything you said, but add some terror and the threat of losing everything you ever worked for, and that’s the level of information filtering he is surrounded with. Nobody’s going to tell him what he doesn’t want to hear, especially if someone else can do it, and in the end he just doesn’t get told a lot of things.
This is the one shiny thing about Stephen Miller getting the Chief of Staff job: he’s no Susie Wiles, and he’s now going to be the personal target of all that demented presidential ire. Whatever happens from this point forward, at some point it’s all going to be Miller’s fault even to Trump, and the ketchup will fly, and he too will be thrown under the bus.
(Note that Miller was also left on the decoy plane when Trump and Natalie Harp left via food truck to get on the real Air Force One in Turkey: to Trump, Miller wasn’t worth saving. None of them were, except Harp.)
Remember the hurricane prediction map that they drew on so he could be right when he said it was going to hit Alabama (or some other gulf state).
All the polls he didn’t agree with were obviously fake.
I’ve got just one question… Are you a robot?
Clearly the answer is 0
He means the polls that told him what he wanted to see
He asked Grok
You mean the ones miller showed hlm
I take it back, he looks less worse with the over the top bronzer.
Looks like Depardieu in this pic
Tell us more about honesty you child raping shit eater …
of course he started this bullshit again. republicans only cry foul when they lose
