Trump Says He Can Accept Election Results if They Are ‘Honest

President 👤Donald Trumpcan accept the results of the midterms “if the elections are honest.”

That is what the president told NBC’s Tom Llamason Wednesday, per Mediaite.

If that is not the case,“something else has to happen,” he added.

Watch:

Trump’s conversation with Llamas is part of a pre-Super Bowl interview in the Oval Office.

The “NBC Nightly News”anchor asked Trump about his recent comments when he said Republicans should “nationalize” the voting process.

“I didn’t say ‘nationalize,’” Trump replied. “I said there are some areas in the country that are extremely corrupt. They have very corrupt elections. Take a look at Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta. There are some areas that are unbelievably corrupt.”

He continued, talking about voter identification.

“I could give you plenty more, too. I say that we cannot have corrupt elections. If we have to, if they don’t straighten it out. As an example: voter ID. Why don’t the Democrats want voter ID?” Trump said. “You know who does want voter ID? Democrat voters want it, but Democrat politicians don’t. Why don’t they want it? Because they want to cheat on elections.

Can you imagine, if I were a politician and they asked me, ‘Do you want voter identification?’ and I said, ‘No,’ there’s no way you can win that debate. If Democrats don’t want voter ID, if they don’t want voter ID, that means they want to cheat. We can’t allow cheating in elections.”
