Trump Lies Again Claiming He Won 2016 Popular Vote

Donald Trump

Citing a conservative group known for spreading false conspiracy theories, Donald Trump again claimed his 2016 electoral was "even bigger than thought" as he accused Google of "manipulating" votes in the last presidential election.

"Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election!" Trump tweeted. "This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued. My victory was even bigger than thought!"

Trump tagged Judicial Watch, which has a long history of targeting Democrats via unsubstantiated lawsuits.

However, study after study, investigation after investigation, show that no tangible voter fraud has ever been found, let alone millions and millions of manipulated votes.

As has been well-documented, Hillary Clinton lost the electoral college to Trump 304 to 227. But, due to high population blue states like California and New York, he garnered nearly 3 million more votes than Trump.

My question is: if the election was rigged in Hillary's favor by such powerful interests like Google and Russia (as Trump claims), why isn't she president?

Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued. My victory was even bigger than thought! @JudicialWatch

Even Hillary Clinton clapped back at the nonsense:

The debunked study you’re referring to was based on 21 undecided voters. For context that’s about half the number of people associated with your campaign who have been indicted. https://t.co/0zHnWvGjSv

When I was in my polling station I saw Google walking around pressing buttons on the voting machines. Wondered what he was doing there. 16M you say? So this Google dude manipulated over 1M votes an hour on election day. If he's that fast you should hire him to count your lies.

This comes in a long string of allegations of election fraud by Trump.

Last week, at a New Hampshire rally, the Donald told his followers that voter fraud was to blame for his losing the Granite State’s four electoral votes in 2016. He told the crowd in Manchester, "It was taken away from us."

And over the weekend, he insinuated to reporters in New Jersey that undocumented immigrants were to blame saying “many, many people voted that shouldn't have been voted,” coming back repeatedly to “some people voted many times.”

But Ellen Weintraub, the chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission, quickly dispatched a letter to Trump calling for him “to provide any evidence” that could back up those statements.

“To put it in terms a former casino operator should understand: There comes a time when you need to lay your cards on the table or fold,” wrote Weintraub.

"Facts matter. And people of America need to be able to believe what their leaders tell them,” Weintraub said Monday.

He'll never get over losing by 3 million votes, even with Russia's help.

Oregon Becomes 15th State To Promise Electoral Votes To Winner Of Popular Vote

Donald Trump

Oregon has become the 15th state to join the National Popular Vote compact promising its electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote.

From The Hill:

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) on Wednesday signed a bill into law that will give the state’s Electoral College votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote.

“I think it’s really important to be a part of the national conversation regarding the presidential election,” Brown said Wednesday as she signed the bill into law, according to The Oregonian. “I think it will encourage candidates to spend more time in states like ours, speaking directly to our voters.”

The compact will go into effect only if enough states join to bring their total Electoral College votes to 270. Oregon’s addition of seven Electoral College votes brings the current total to 196.

Brown said she thinks Oregon being a part of the compact will compel presidential candidates to spend more time in all the states, particularly hers.

"I think it will encourage candidates to spend more time in states like ours, candidates who are running for president speaking directly to our voters," she said, according to CNN. "I think it will help encourage them to talk about issues that ... Oregonians care more about. And I think it's really important for Oregon to be part of the national conversation regarding the presidential election."

Brown’s signing comes after the Democratic-led Oregon House passed the measure last week largely along party lines.

In the history of the United States, five candidates have become president without coming out on top in the popular vote.

Most recently, Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump in the 2016 election by 3 million votes but lost the race due to the Electoral College.

This Drives Donald Trump Insane

Cry Baby Watch: Donald Trump Still Butt Hurt Over Popular Vote Loss

Without a doubt, this man's ego will be his downfall.

He just can't stop being defensive. Apparently, he's still stung by the fact that he lost the popular vote by almost 3 million.

And the fact that his win is now tainted by the fact that the Russian government intervened to help him.

Please note the "if that is possible" about his win. Yeah, it's possible to much better than his 306 electoral college win. Take a look at both of President Obama's two victories for the White House, for example.

I would have done even better in the election, if that is possible, if the winner was based on popular vote - but would campaign differently

I have not heard any of the pundits or commentators discussing the fact that I spent FAR LESS MONEY on the win than Hillary on the loss!

Final Tally Shows Hillary Clinton Won Popular Vote By Almost 3 Million

According to the Cook Report, the final tally shows Democrat Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by almost 3 million ballots.

Yesterday, the Electoral College made it official that Donald Trump will be our next president.

With a split in the popular and Electoral College vote, Trump has no clear mandate. In fact, as reported earlier, he is the first president in recent history to come into office with a negative approval rating.

A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows only 40% of Americans see Trump in a positive light, while 46% view him negatively.

Mr. Trump, you've got some work to do.

All 50 states + DC now certified:

Clinton: 65,844,610 (48.2%)
Trump: 62,979,636 (46.1%)
Others: 7,804,213 (5.7%)https://t.co/j58GaxfPmH

Some news stories you may have missed:

• My uber-handsome and talented friend Joel Ingram wants you to remember to "Make the yuletide gay." He takes a great pic, amiright?

• Eric Trump, son of the orange one, asserted over the weekend that Jill Stein's recount efforts somehow were to blame for the deaths of "at least 5,000 children." Of course, Trump could have helped those 5,000 children with the $25 million settlement he paid for scamming thousands of people.

• Speaking of money, the city of New York is sending the federal government a bill for $35 million for the cost of securing Trump Tower from November 8th through January 20th.

• Hillary Clinton's popular vote lead grows to 2.65 million votes. With those numbers, Trump can never claim to have a mandate from the people. 

• Florida voters file a lawsuit in state court demanding a recount of the presidential election based on issues of hacking, faulty voting machines, and voters being turned away from the polls.

• Ever wonder just how much "YouTube stars" make from all those videos? Here's the Top 10 YouTubers ranked by Forbes:

Donald Trump Claims He "Won" The Popular Vote

Donald Trump is so rattled by the idea of a recount of the vote in three battleground states that he began defending his own victory in the presidential election via Twitter.

Kellyanne Conway - this is where you take the Blackberry out of the Trumpster's tiny hands...

In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

It would have been much easier for me to win the so-called popular vote than the Electoral College in that I would only campaign in 3 or 4--

states instead of the 15 states that I visited. I would have won even more easily and convincingly (but smaller states are forgotten)!

Serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California - so why isn't the media reporting on this? Serious bias - big problem!
