Hello archives,
It really is a shame, a great shame, and a blight on our history. The man is so mentally disturbed and has such a large ego that he cannot accept defeat even though it is clear that he lost.
And he is causing great harm to the nation by perpetuating the lie.
Remember how he argued about the number of votes in 2016? He couldn't accept the fact then that he lost the popular vote. He tried to claim that millions of 'illegals' voted. It never was proven, And he even wasted taxpayer money then by creating his silly 'election commission' to 'investigate' the 'election fraud.'
Here's what really happened:
"The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity (PEIC or PACEI), also called the Voter Fraud Commission, was a Presidential Commission established by Donald Trump that ran from May 11, 2017 to January 3, 2018.[1][2] The Trump administration said the commission would review claims of voter fraud, improper registration, and voter suppression.[3] The establishment of the commission followed Trump's false claim that millions of illegal immigrants had voted in the 2016 presidential election, costing him the popular vote.[4][5] Vice President Mike Pence was as chair of the commission and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach was vice chair and day-to-day administrator.
...
In November 2017, Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap, a Democratic member of the commission, said that Kobach was refusing to share working documents and scheduling information with him and the other Democrats on the commission.[149] He filed suit, and in December a federal judge ordered the commission to hand over the documents.[150] Two weeks later, in January 2018, Trump disbanded the commission, and his administration informed Dunlap that it would not obey the court order to provide the documents because the commission no longer existed.[4] On August 3, 2018, Dunlap wrote that the documents available to him did not support claims of widespread voter fraud. He described the investigation as the "most bizarre thing I've ever been a part of....After reading this, I see that it wasn't just a matter of investigating President Trump's claims that three to five million people voted illegally, but the goal of the commission seems to have been to validate those claims." "
-Or attempt to validate them, which of course, could not be done because Trump's claims were false.
And THAT was when he gave up and disbanded the commission. It didn't do what he wanted so he dropped it. But he never stopped claiming that millions of 'illegals' voted for Hillary and that's why she won the popular vote, and he added that if the 'illegal votes' (that he could never prove) were taken out then he would have won the popular vote.
IT WAS NEVER TRUE, it was nothing but a
FALSE CLAIM that COULD NEVER BE PROVEN. A BIG LIE.
