Regardless of context, he did say those words in that order.

    This again? I think he meant Biden’s election, but he got the sequence of words mixed up.

      Yeah, people fixating on the rigging part and not on the trump can’t even form a coherent sentence part is kinda weird.

      He did indeed.

      Hey folks, this fucker has committed so many obvious harms and constantly lies… this was clearly a misstatement. It causes fatigue when questionable shit like this is harped on especially when he flat out says even worse shit.

      The territory to the immediate south of our border is now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture, and exercise total control. They have total control over a whole nation, posing a grave threat to our national security. The cartels are waging war in America and it’s time for America to wage war on the cartels, which we’re doing.

      That, he fucking said that out loud and on purpose.

    I hate this orange piece of shit, but the context tells me he was talking about 2020.

      2020 was rigged too. It just wasn’t rigged enough.

      Watch this video from the election truth alliance. A statistician explains and shows evidence that the 2020 and 2024 elections were both tampered with in favor of trump and why he didn’t win the 2020 (it was due to mail in ballots being high that year due to covid)

      Context no longer seems to matter to them, so it shouldn’t to anyone else when discussing things like this. Pass it around.

        Uh, what? You’re right, context and truth don’t matter to the maga freaks. That’s why it has to matter to us. How would (non cultish) voters ever be able to trust us again?? We’d be manifesting the “both sides” argument! We can resist like hell without spreading disinformation…

            Ignoring necessary context required to correctly understand or interpret even a direct quote while “pass[ing] it around” is extremely deceptive. Exhibit A. In context, it is extremely plausible that Trump was referring to the 2020 election as, by losing it and being eligible to run in 2024, he is now able to oversee the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

    I’ve been saying that since Nov. 6. Without a doubt, something shady was going on.

    Seems more likely he’s talking about 2020 here. If Elon had said it, I’d think otherwise, but it isn’t really Trump’s MO to be subtle. He’s gotten away with not being subtle his whole life of failing upward.

      they said, ‘Can you imagine? I’m [you’re] not going to be president. And that’s too bad.’ And what happened is, they rigged the election, and I became president. So that was a good thing, that was a good thing, that was quite an achievement for both of us. So I’ll be president during the World Cup.

      absolutely referring to 2024 here. no doubt whatsoever.

        they said, ‘Can you imagine? I’m [you’re] not going to be president [for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics]. And that’s too bad.’ And what happened is, they rigged the election [in 2020], and I became president [again in 2024]

        Absolutely referring to 2020 here. No doubt whatsoever.

        (To be clear, claims of 2020 fraud are bullshit… But so are claims of 2024 fraud)

    I’ll be honest… I don’t care if he was talking about 2020 or 2024, or even if he was straight up admitting to rigging the election himself. Any nefariousness you want to read into that quote doesn’t matter, because it’s either not there, or he got away with it. Harping on the context is pointless, regardless of what he may or may not have meant by it.
