Trump Wont Back Down From His Voting Fraud Lie. Here Are the Facts.

[spanone]

WASHINGTON — During a private meeting with congressional leaders on Monday, President Trump asserted that between three million and five million unauthorized immigrants had voted for his Democratic opponent and robbed him of a victory in the national popular vote.

There is no evidence to support the claim, which has been discredited repeatedly by numerous fact-checkers.

That did not stop Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, from standing by the president’s words on Tuesday during a briefing with reporters at the White House. “As I said, I think the president has believed that for a while based on studies and information he has,” Mr. Spicer said.

That much appears to be true. Mr. Trump repeatedly raised doubts about the integrity of the American voting system in the period before the election in November and has falsely said since his victory that millions of people voted illegally.

5. I think his ego is such that he can't bear the thought of not being the most popular

the most liked, the most admired, etc..

He can't stand it. It eats away at him.

That said, using his words, republicans will launch more of an attack on "illegals" and there will be more voter suppression. The GOP will claim that new measures are needed to ensure only citizens vote.

Trump will continue to rile up his already deranged supporters against anyone with brown skin as an "illegal".

His words will be used as a tool, a weapon, and it's going to get uglier.

So while Trump's words are absurd and his tantrums are laughable, all indicative of a weak-minded, insecure bully, his words will also be used by the GOP to erode the civil rights of African-Americans and Mexican-Americans, especially.

6. He lost, it is killing his soul, he needs to be reminded daily he lost the popular vote, let's see
