    It's totally strange. For nearly four years he's been saying (lying) that he won. Now he says that he didn't? I have too many questions to list, but here's a few :

    -When did he change his mind and agree that he lost?
    -Does he feel bad about inciting a riot to Stop the Steal?
    -Does he feel any remorse about lying so often for so long?
    -Does he feel like he owes anyone an apology?
    -Do his supporters feel like jilted fools who've been lied to?




    Former President Donald Trump's recent acknowledgment that he lost the 2020 election has rattled prominent far-right figures, with some saying they will lead a campaign to keep him from being elected in 2024.

    At least three times in recent weeks Trump, the 2024 Republican party nominee, has acknowledged that he lost in 2020 "by a whisker."

    "He beat us by a whisker. It was a terrible thing," Trump said of President Joe Biden during a 45 minute interview Aug. 4 with podcaster Lex Fridman. He used similar language at an Aug. 30 Moms for Liberty summit and an Aug. 23 press event at the Southern border.

    White nationalist Nick Fuentes blasted Trump Sept. 4 for admitting that he lost the 2020 election, and said that he will work to get voters not to back Trump.

    "So, why did we do Stop the Steal? Why did did anyone go to Jan. 6? Why did any one go to jail? ... It would have been good to know that before 1,600 people got charged," Fuentes said on his podcast, referring to the criminal charges for those who invaded and ransacked the Capitol. "It would’ve been good to know that before (I) had all my money frozen, put on a no-fly list, banned from everything, lost all my bank and payment processing.”

    The real news will be when he admits there was no cheating which caused his loss.

    It's funny that when Trump lost the popular vote, but won the electoral college by 74 points, he called it a landslide. When Trump lost the popular by an even wider margin and lost the electoral college by 74 points, he calls it "a whisker". He lives in his own delusional world.

    This is pretty big news.

    Doesn’t it hurt some of his court cases if it can be shown he knew he lost?

    Will there ever be a point where the people who adore him figure out they are being fleeced?

    His supporters will buy whatever he pitches. But it's not a cult. :rolleyes:

    I don’t know where to begin. the damage trump’s irresponsible claims has done to our country. Starting with the Jan 6 attack on our capital and ongoing maga damage to our democracy. now it’s, “oh never mind”.
    From the op “So, why did we do Stop the Steal? Why did did anyone go to Jan. 6? Why did any one go to jail? ... It would have been good to know that before 1,600 people got charged,"

    I would guess, his campaign team told him all it does is hurt his chances and makes him look crazy. 2022 showed illogical maga crazy statements did well in primaries but not in the general. But trump never believed it in the first place, it was just a lie to rally his base, make money, and an excuse for losing the popular vote by 7M. Of course maga just blindly believed whatever he told them.

    so what about 60-70% of repubs who thought trump really won? Are they going to all of a sudden flip/flop back with him?

    This seems to me a basic admission is they just took Trump’s word for it, that the election was stolen. They didn’t question it at all, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, and now they are shocked he lied to them.

    Lord knows Trump sucked in enough posters here with that nonsense. The election deniers should be thoroughly embarrassed now.

    Based on the rating, it looks like we still have at least one denier denying. You really have to wonder what happened to some people in their developmental days.

    The explanation will involve "Deep State" and "cloning." Wait for it.

    If you count all the dead and illegal votes he’s right.

    I suspect in his dotage he no longer can keep track of his lies. What I find more interesting is that a lot of his supporters are being outed as being paid by Russia to pass on misinformation. Some seem not to know the source. The term useful idiots keeps coming to mind.

    If we count discount those votes then it's obvious that Biden won by an even larger margin. Republicans are always getting caught for voter fraud.

    Good start. I’m sure his sycophants will come up with more excuses on top of this one.

    I can't believe how dumb you have to be to believe this.

    Plus, every time they find dead or illegal voters, they voted for Trump. In the half dozens, not the thousands.

    The Villages got busted all over the place committing fraud in favor of Trump in 2020. In fact, pretty much all cases of voter fraud happened on the right, but don’t let that get in the way of your narrative. Why do you MAGA people believe this absolutely dumb, made up shit all the time?

    Maybe I’m just an optimist…. I can’t believe our country has fallen so far to have given an idiot like Biden the most votes of all time. I know a large amount of folks do what they are told by the media overlords and are jealous of the success of those that work hard but I still can’t bring myself to believe we are this far gone.
