Which is why Trump claims that Hillary managed to sneak 3 million illegal immigrants into polling places to vote.
His evidence? "I should have the most votes! If I didn't, she must have cheated!!!"
Quite frankly, if Hillary did this and had the 3 million illegal immigrants vote in safe blue California instead of in swing states, she deserved to lose. At the same time, if she was coordinated enough to get 3 million illegal immigrants to vote without leaving any evidence, perhaps she would have been an extremely efficient President. (Of course, the reality is that this is all just Donny's Narcissistic Fever Dream.)
It kind of sucks that 5 seconds of rational thinking is all it takes to completely unravel any of Trumps lies, he can be discredited in real-time his lies are so easy to debunk. It sucks because that is apparently still not a low enough barrier...
He's so bad at it that his accusations manage to both lack any evidence or make any sense. It boggles my mind that he's still popular enough to make his reelection plausible.
He speaks to a gutfeeling and emotion. Think of him more as a religious cult leader rather than a politician.
