Trump Baselessly Claims Democrats Tried To Steal the Election – ‘But They Gave Up’

President Donald Trump claimed Democrats attempted to rig November’s election before “they gave up.”

Trump has now lied about widespread voter fraud or attempted voter fraud in all three elections in which he has been a candidate – even when he has won the contest.

Speaking at a gathering of Republicans for a Congressional Institute event at his Trump Doral resort on Monday, the president patted himself on the back over his first term before claiming his opponents tried to steal the election:

I did a great job. It was a horrible border in 2016. And then– but that border was beautiful compared to what we have now. So, I didn’t talk about it. And we did great.

I mean, look, we got, I got millions of more votes in 2020 than I got in 2016. Nobody ever got– I got the most votes of any Republican in history in 2020. But this time, I said “Let’s make it too big to rig. We’re gonna make it too big to rig.” And that’s what happened. [applause] And they couldn’t. They tried. They tried, these cheating guys, these cheating people. But they tried, but they gave up.

Trump has falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged against him. After losing that race, he tried to pressure officials in states he lost to overturn the results. Those efforts culminated in the deadly Capitol riot of 2021.

After winning the 2016 election despite notching fewer votes than Hillary Clinton, Trump falsely claimed that he actually “won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”
