Trump Cries Foul on Midterms

President Donald Trump is wondering how legitimate the midterm elections were.
The president took to Truth Social Monday expressing his doubts over the election results, which heavily favored Democratic candidates.
“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting “dumps” were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote,” Trump wrote.
“It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!” he added.

Trump’s expression of doubt came nearly two weeks after he said he would accept the results of the midterms.
“I will,” Trump admitted at Joint Base Andrews. “If they are honest elections, yup.”
The question was raised after an analysis by The Washington Post outlined how Trump and his partners have been circulating doubt about results ahead of the midterm elections.
The report looked at some of the ways Trump’s team is spreading doubt about the validity of the election through social media posts and podcasts. They have warned those who back Trump to “expect cheating” if Republican candidates are defeated.
