.MaddowBlog: Why it matters that President Trump still rejects his popular-vote loss.
Around Thanksgiving 2016, Donald Trump should’ve been focused on his presidential transition process. As regular readers may recall, the president-elect was instead focused on the inconvenient fact that Americans were given a choice in the election, and he received far fewer votes than Hillary Clinton.
Nearly three years later, Trump hasn’t let this go, as was obvious in his “Meet the Press” interview with NBC News’ Chuck Todd.TRUMP: Well, I think it was a – I mean, I’ll say something that, again, is controversial. There were a lot of votes cast that I don’t believe. I look at California.TRUMP: Excuse me…. Take a look at Judicial Watch, take a look at their settlement where California admitted to a million votes. They admitted to a million votes.
But even putting these details aside, this is arguably more than just another example of the president believing a weird and discredited theory. It’s a scary dynamic to consider, made worse by comments like those the Republican shared on “Meet the Press.” If Trump doesn’t accept the legitimacy of an election he won, what are the odds he’ll accept the legitimacy of an election he loses?
