The Rigged Election




Donald Trump was right…the election was rigged.


He warned us over and over for the past four months and we didn’t listen.


The election results would be fraudulent.


As the Orlando Sentinel put it on November 9, 2016, if there was a word of the year, it was “rigged”…Trump was the primary instigator. He spread conspiracy theories about rampant voter fraud and accused reporters of unfairly covering his campaign.


And Trump was right; reporters did unfairly cover his campaign in that they unfairly reported exactly what he said and what went on at the rallies; the assaults on dissenting voices, the shouts of “Jew-S-A” at the press, the made-up stories of an assassination attempt that the Secret Service TOLD Trump immediately afterward was just a man (a Trump supporter, no less) with a cardboard sign...there was never any gun, the crass bragging about his wealth while refusing to release his tax records to prove it, and disparaging minorities, women, and people with disabilities. The media constantly mentioned the huge crowds so Trump can’t complain about unfair coverage on that point.


But notice that Trump was the primary instigator of the rigging conspiracy.


He said the system was slanted repeatedly. When he projects things onto other people that HE is actually guilty of; how clear does he have to tell you that he’s really talking about himself?


One Pro-Trump supporter tweeted “There is plenty of evidence of voter fraud and machines flipping.” This was sent via Twitter on Election Day afternoon. Who was benefiting from that voter fraud and machine flipping?


Now that he’s won, will Trump apologize to the American people and admit the system wasn’t rigged after all?


Don’t hold your breath.
