More than seven months after the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump appeared to admit his defeat on Wednesday.

In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Trump said the results of the 2020 election were “shocking.” President Joe Biden won the election with 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232, but the results continue to be disputed.

“We got them by surprise in ‘16, and in ‘20 we did much better than we did in ‘16,” Trump told Hannity. “Shockingly, we were supposed to win easily at 64 million votes and we got 75 million votes. We didn’t win, but let’s see what happens on that. The whole thing was shocking.”

Biden carried key battleground states that include Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona. He had more than 81 million total votes, while Trump had just over 74 million. Both totals were more than any presidential candidate in history.

Trump said in the interview he wants Biden to do well as president.

I had to double check this, but another shoe is going to drop.

1. No kidding sherlock. eom

[Mme. Defarge]

2. Has Vlad gotten to him

after the summit with President Biden?

[Baked Potato]

3. Maybe got a talking to in New York.

[The Magistrate]

4. This One Does Not Match The Hype, Sir

The operative portion of the statement is '...but let’s see what happens on that.'

[JustAnotherGen]

5. +1

And I find his 'let's see what happens' rather . . . chilling. Like after 1/6 - what is the GOP up to?

[LiberalLoner]

14. Exactly.

[Evolve Dammit]

43. Yeah. What cha got planned Traitors?

[Rural_Progressive]

7. The stakes in this game are beyond our wildest imagining

this was supposed to be the big payoff. The players in this game are not going to let it go unless they are all uncovered.

[Mr.Bill]

15. I remember when Trump's entire foreign policy

was guided by "We'll see what happens..."

It's a catch-all phrase he uses when he doesn't have an answer because he hasn't done his homework and has nothing to say.

[Dream Girl]

16. yep. I wouldnt read much into that. Its his catch all phrase when he doesnt know what to say.

[mountain grammy]

30. Exactly!

He has nothing else to say.

[intheflow]

34. Absolutely!

In other words, "Yeah, okay, we lost the legal election, but we're still planning to overthrow the US government."

[Blasphemer]

53. Yes... also his emphasis on "shocking" - just another way of saying the results were suspect... nt

[underpants]

6. "surprise in '16"? Try "fluke"

A perfect media storm

[niyad]

8. Russian meddling.

[cstanleytech]

9. I would not put the entire onus on Russia because there are a number of high up Trump campaign

people that were working in secret with the Russians to accomplish it.

[underpants]

10. That too

The media:
A. Voluminous free advertising uninterrupted
B. Keeping the horse race going by talking about Hillary but never just letting her have the floor
C. Called it OVER weeks out. Lowest turnout ever. A “rainy day” as the old truism goes.

[lagomorph777]

50. Russian acts of war.

"Meddling" is when my mother-in-law tells me what shoes to wear.

Overturning the will of the people in another country is an act of war.

[niyad]

51. you are, of course, absolutely correct.

[groundloop]

13. And let's not forget.... 66 Million is more than 63 Million !!!!!

[mtngirl47]

20. And I won't forget Jim Comey n/t

[Skittles]

28. holding Hillary to impossible standards

while holding Trump to no standards at all

[Blue Owl]

11. Denial Donny is finally getting a clue!

[bucolic_frolic]

12. It doesn't mean anything. It's just recognition that the strategy has failed. Now he's an outsider.

FG45 will now try to divide us on issues such as he did today - windmill cancer and birds, so you libs ought to give up on Biden's green energy. This is how he rolls, a Machiavellian pragmatist with a quest for power.

[PlanetBev]

17. President Obvious speaks truth

Planetbev picks jaw off floor.

[The Roux Comes First]

18. You Know What They Say About Broken Clocks

Dim Son #2 should still be right another time today. This is speculation, but I'm guessing the reason we do not hear about more of these remarkable events is that they probably involve considerations like "remember what mama said, lower the zipper BEFORE releasing bladder."

[Botany]

19. So he sent all those people to storm the US Capitol on a lie?

And "they" still support him?

[Mike Nelson]

21. Hmm...

... I'm not taking that the same way. La Donald thinks, "We didn't win [because the election was STOLEN from the real winner]." I admit, though, I have not seen the Hannity interview; the question, context, and tone may reveal more.

[Denvermosaic]

22. Don't give a rat ass about what he says.Please make this jackass irrelevant.

[Crowman2009]

23. More like: Thanks for the free cash SUCKERS!

Those gullible morons fell for it and gave him cash like there was no tomorrow. Wouldn't be surprised if they kept doing it. So here's a little tune for them.

[jgmiller]

24. This is the story of his life

He keeps talking about how he was told he would win if he got 64M votes and he got 75M. He doesn't understand basic math and it's clear from everything he does he never comprehends there is another side to the equation. Great you got 75M but that doesn't happen in isolation the other guy got a lot more.

It's the most honest and insightful thing he's said that explains his lack of business sense and the reason he goes bankrupt all the time. He has no concept of competition.

[NewHendoLib]

25. So...how is his cult, and the cult media, going to react to THIS???

[C Moon]

26. Pushing his book.

[Escurumbele]

27. he is so infantile that he thinks that by admitting it now that he will be pardoned from his crimes

That the prosecutors will say "OK, he admitted having lost the election, that is it, we don't need to prosecute him for the insurrection, all the crimes he committed as president, we are good...close the books."

[regnaD kciN]

29. "...but let's see what happens"

In other words, "in a few weeks, we'll have proof from the Arizona audit that Biden won by massive voter fraud, and I'll be reinstated."

Trump isn't "admitting" anything. Unsurprising. He was trained to live by Vince Lombardi's aphorism, "show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." He is psychologically unable to admit defeat in anything.

[JohnnyRingo]

31. He's somewhere in the five stages of grief.

Perhaps acceptance.

[NH Ethylene]

38. That would be a hell of a relief.

Although he may have 6 stages. Number 6 is revenge.

[July]

32. Still lying. He got 72 million votes, not 75, IIRC.

But he wouldn’t be himself if he told the truth without embellishment, would he?

[onenote]

52. He got 74,216,000 votes.

[July]

54. WAAAAY after the fact: you are correct. nt

[catrose]

33. WE NOTICED

[lonely bird]

35. His catch phrase means...

Imo, that he thinks the attempts at audits will show he won. He is truly delusional so that the only answer in his so-called brain is the election was stolen and “seeing what happens” means he will be president again.

The truly disgusting thing is that any system allowed him into the WH in the first place.

[paleotn]

36. In his mind....

he thinks he lost only because the other side cheated better than he did. That's not the same thing as admitting defeat. He'll never ever do that.

[NH Ethylene]

37. Oops! He forgot to lie!

"We didn’t win, but let’s see what happens on that. The whole thing was shocking.”

He's known all along that he didn't win. This comment reveals that he knew it and he was more than willing to cheat and even overthrow the government if it meant he could get his power back.

[Major Nikon]

39. It's a lie! He's going to be reinstated in August

[LiberalFighter]

40. Is he doing it to make it easier for his book deal to go thru?

[monkeyman1]

41. realized!

TFG saw Biden with Vladimir Putin & figured out he is no use to Russia now ! game over . don't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out! plus , ya know it's bad when Hannity cut's ya off in mid -interview!! TFG IS FORMALLY IRRELEVANT ! good -bye to the tfg day's . the end 5.5 yr's of him & over 600,000 people dead !!

[aggiesal]

42. I'm not reading that Pendejo45 admits that Biden won ...

"... We didn’t win, but let’s see what happens on that."

This line tells me that "We" (Conservative/Republicans) didn't win.
And "but let’s see what happens on that.", shows he hoping that somehow the
election will be overturned.

He's a class A IDIOT!!

I thought this was going to be the onion.

[monkeyman1]

44. he is the the one couldn't remember his locker padlock combo & called maintenance!!!

[mahina]

45. The word for that is on the tip of my tongue.

L…L… oh yeah. Loser. La-hu-ZER

[oldsoftie]

46. Not "appears", he SAID it. Period. "We didnt win".

Get over it NOW, sheep

[Maxheader]

47. Was warned ahead of time to not use any "stop duh steal" bs..

Betcha...

[LuckyLib]

48. The only shocking thing about 2020 was that after four years

of the clown show 72 million idiots STILL voted for him.
