2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIs Trump hearing voices?
Donald Trump on Tuesday defended his claim that the election will be rigged, offering no actual evidence but saying he hears and feels things.
Well, Im talking about at the voter booth, Trump told CBS12 in Florida. I mean, weve seen a lot of things over the years. And now without the IDs, you know the voter IDs, and all the things that are going on. And some bad court cases have come down.
Asked if he had any reason to believe something illegal was going on, Trump offered the answer, I just hear things, and I just feel it.

One charitable interpretation is that Trump means he suspects, he believes the election may be rigged. But that's not what he says. He says he's hearing it.
Another charitable interpretation is that Trump is hearing other people question the election. But he doesn't mention anyone else, he doesn't name names. He only mentions what he "hears".
So another reasonable, but less charitable, interpretation is that he is hearing voices.
