Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With Lawmakers - CageTheBengal - 01-24-2017 You know you have an ego conflict when you are butthurt about an election you won. Seriously though you think a guy like this isn't going to put his own ego above everything else? He makes up fantasies and falsehoods just to prop up his ego. Quote:WASHINGTON — President Trump used his first official meeting with congressional leaders on Monday to falsely claim that millions of unauthorized immigrants had robbed him of a popular vote majority, a return to his obsession with the election’s results even as he seeks support for his legislative agenda. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/23/us/politics/donald-trump-congress-democrats.html?_r=0 RE: Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With Lawmakers - bfine32 - 01-24-2017 He sure is a knucklehead.

RE: Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With Lawmakers - Au165 - 01-25-2017 He can think it, but don't make a big deal about an election you won. The issue here is he is seriously wasting time and money to now "investigate" this when it really doesn't matter other than to his ego. He is making it worse by drawing continuous attention to it.

See I was thinking about all the money they would save by NOT investigating everything a Democrat does for the next four years. Plus they stopped the Flint Investigation and are stopping a lot of other programs. So they have plenty of money for any RE: Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With Lawmakers - Au165 - 01-25-2017 (01-25-2017, 10:21 AM)GMDino Wrote: See I was thinking about all the money they would save by NOT investigating everything a Democrat does for the next four years. "Trump himself -- through his lawyers -- have also argued that there was no evidence of voter fraud in the 2016 election. In a court filing objecting to Green Party candidate Jill Stein's Michigan recount petition, lawyers for the president wrote, "All available evidence suggests that the 2016 general election was not tainted by fraud or mistake."" So either there was fraud, or there wasn't, which is it? RE: Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With Lawmakers - BmorePat87 - 01-25-2017 It's a dog and pony show. His lawyers argued in legal documents that there was no evidence of fraud when Stein asked for recounts. He'll still waste money and investigate. His flock wants to see this, though. http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/25/politics/trump-calls-for-major-investigation-into-voter-fraud/ RE: Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With Lawmakers - michaelsean - 01-25-2017 (01-25-2017, 10:14 AM)Au165 Wrote: He can think it, but don't make a big deal about an election you won.

Well one could argue that it's money well spent if he's doing this and not something else. RE: Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With Lawmakers - GMDino - 01-25-2017 Here ya go.

Between the campaign and now this constant infatuation with insignificant things like the inauguration crowd and not accepting that he got destroyed in the popular vote. It makes me worry about his composure as president.

He is ego first and anyone that will challenge is ego he will try to pulverize into dust.

Throughout Trump's career he has been able to use his vast wealth and the judicial system to quell criticism about him. It will be interesting to see how he handles a position where he can't really run from criticism or throw money at it to go away.

You'd think he could go the ultra ego route and say, "I'm the effing President and what you say is irrelevant and not worthy of a response."

He can't. He has to have the acceptance that goes along with it. He's not a dictator. He's a child.

Sure about that? I mean, wasn't it Bannon, Trump's daughter Tiffany, and Mnuchin that were registered in two different states? Seems the fraud they are finding already points to it being in his favor, meaning his vote count could be lower.

Trump may very well win another term; voter fraud will have nothing to do with it. |
