President Donald Trump is telling House and Senate leaders he would have won the popular vote in the 2016 election if not for the votes of 3 million to 5 million immigrants living in the country illegally.
There is no evidence to support Trump's claim.
Trump made the assertion at a meeting with congressional leaders Monday night. That's according to a Democratic aide familiar with the exchange, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private meeting. The Washington Post first reported the conversation.
Trump has made the false claims before, tweeting in late November that he had "won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally."
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 2.9 million votes but lost the Electoral College to Trump.

Because it's a lot easier to prove Republican fuckery with the franchise in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

(141 posts)Still, this shows that he does care. He lost the popular vote by millions and this is tearing him apart. We should just keep on mentioning this on every single occasion. Let's drive the sucker insane, if that hasn't already happened.

(63,840 posts)at the House and Senate did anyone say anything???? oh boy the Republican party is finished who will ever vote for them again. We can say they will not be re elected if they do not do the peoples work. I would love to see McConnell and Ryan go to hell.
Do you think they know they are dealing with someone who is not well mentally.
