Bogged down in a hush money trial that could go on for several more weeks, former president Donald Trump has been forced to cut back on his angry campaign rallies, and likely doesn’t have the stamina for such events, according to former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele.
Steele was discussing an interview Trump gave to Time in which he declared, “… if we don’t win, you know, it depends. It always depends on the fairness of an election.”
“Here’s the problem: you have Donald Trump saying I will accept the results if they are honest. The process is an honest process, the results will be honest. The idea that you think of all the elections that we have had in the history of this country that your election is the least honest and the most corrupt, it just shows the fallacy of what the man is laying out there,” Steele explained.
Looking directly into the camera, Steele told the disgraced ex-president, “That is your truth, Donald Trump. And what you are trying to do is game the system, as he did in 2016 and 2020, to say that, ‘If I don’t win, the system is corrupt.’ No, Donald Trump, if you don’t win it’s because more people voted against you than for you and our electoral system confirms that.”
