Donald Trump Claims He Won the Popular Vote in 2016 'in a True Sense' and People Brought the Receipts

Donald Trump Claims He Won the Popular Vote in 2016 'in a True Sense' and People Brought the Receipts
Fox News

Few were expecting then-candidate Donald Trump to defeat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the electoral college on the night of the 2016 election.

Though Trump won by one of the thinnest electoral college margins in modern American history, Clinton won the popular vote by a larger margin than any electoral college loser: over three million votes.


Not satisfied with the electoral victory, Trump went on to falsely claim that he would've won the popular vote if it weren't for millions of supposed fraudulent ballots he said were cast for Democrats.

Trump made a similar claim in a bizarre two-part interview with far-right Fox News host Laura Ingraham, the second part of which aired on Tuesday night.

Watch below.

Trump said:

"I think I did win the popular vote in a true sense. I think there was tremendous cheating in California. There was tremendous cheating in New York and other places."

There is no credible evidence that "tremendous cheating" took place in California and New York or throughout the entire country, for that matter.

Once again, people found themselves correcting Trump.







Many Twitter users say Trump's claims about 2016 foreshadow what he'll say in 2020 if he loses to Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
