Eh, he's lightly alluded to that before. But then his cult start freaking out or his ego takes a ding. And then it's back to the vociferous "stolen election" bullshit.

He actually said the words "we lost" though. Not sure I've heard that before.

He has a captive base of drooling idiots who believe him and send him money . Why wouldn't he go back to it?
TommySoda@lemmy.world · 82 pts · 2y
He said the same thing in the courts. You know, where you can't blatantly lie.

Said on the other thread:
No. He always knew it. That was part of the Jan 6 commission findings. That he appears to be altering his past statements to solicit support from a particular audience is not that notable, there are lots of examples.

I'm a Free Thinking Republican and this is ONLY happening because the Deep State is trying to Kill Trump as demonstrated by sending a Child Assassin to MISS on Purpose to send a message to Trump because they're scared of Him. That's LITERALLY the ONLY reason why he's saying this! I think for Myself!

No he didn't. We don't need punctuation for sarcasm. If it doesn't work then the author sucks.

Or, perhaps, the reader is nodding along the whole way and completely misses the point — because they're already a fucking moron? Don't feed trolls, even by accidental crumbs. 🙇🏽♂️

Vice President Harris needs to ask him this question in the debate, but more importantly if he says yes, ask him when he realized he lost.

Ah yes, we cheated using the disease your side adamantly opposed to protecting yourselves from

He just repeat the last thing someone says to him, so it's just a matter of time until he came back saying that the election was stolen.

Trump is a loser.
Confirmed, fact checked and validated.

The article quotes him as saying
and then
So I suspect in his mind, he still only "lost" because of the millions of illegal immigrants voting or some similar BS. I.e. the media is being too optimistic about this guy's POV and mental state.

"They propped themselves up with a platform! How is that fair!?"

That's what he would say, but he knows it's not true. It's for the suckers to believe.

He admitted to it on Jan 6. This is not "finally"
jballs@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 2y
What did he say on January 6th?
Edit: So I had seen clips and read lots of articles about what Trump said on January 6th, but I had never read the transcript. So I thought, why not? Let's see it without anyone else telling me what it says. Holy shit, it was so much worse than I thought.

That he lost
Chip_Rat@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 2y
I don't believe that happened, can you provide a link of him saying it or a reputable source quoting him saying that?
Because I feel like I saw that episode and at no point did he admit to losing....
sudo@lemmy.today · 12 pts · 2y
Was that when
Or do you mean the video he posted a few hours later where he continued to insist the election was 'stolen'
Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
No he didn't.
