President Donald Trump questioned the results of the midterm elections in a jaw-dropping social media post, less than a week after he, his preferred candidates, and GOP control of Congress were smacked down in a brutal rout.
Taking to Truth Social on Monday morning, the president said: “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.”
He added: “It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”
The Monday morning statement came nearly two weeks after the president was pressed over whether he would accept the results of the midterms.
“I will,” Trump admitted to a reporter during a press gaggle 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 skepticism about the validity of the election through social media posts and podcasts, warning the president’s backers to “expect cheating” if Republican candidates are defeated.

1) I don’t think the election was honest.
2) Trump can’t just talk about this. It’s far too late to try to merely “persuade” people. SHOW the hard data. PROVE the fraud. ARREST famous people who led the fraud. If Trump cannot do those things, then Trump should shut up.
The time is either RIGHT NOW or it is never. Don’t say “boom”. Don’t promise a coming “bombshell”. I don’t want to hear more next week. GET SERIOUS or shut up.
This CommuMuzzie ERECTION made the invasion of the Ukraine by the Russkis look like a Girl Scout picnic.

There was nothing in polling that looked like this big of a Wipeout. I know the electorate was fed up with the economy and “Trump fatigue”, but it seems WAY too lopsided.
My county leans heavy D, but we had a R for SOS and county clerk. I trust the results. Rs got trounced. It’s irrational Teump hate on the part of Ds, and laziness on the part of Rs. Next general election may be different.
On Nov 4th, he stated he accepted the result.
Additionally, he had ever federal resource actively searching for fraud. And there is a $1 mil reward for anyone who can provide evidence of fraud.
In a conspiracy that would require 10s, if not 100s of thousand conspirators...not a single taker.
Not even one.
Following the money might not be enough.
“Six days late and a bushel of dollars short.”
Not only is there no longer thoughtful interaction on this site
I absolutely despise coming here seeing all the hate Trump
Agreed.
That’s the bitter truth.

It doesn’t matter anymore you can’t do a thing about it anyway
I have no capacity to understand how that many Republicans voted for Democrats. In team, d s a somehow garnered thirty percent more voters. Then the previous election
When someone comes into your store wearing a hood and a mask, who are you going to expect when stuff turns up missing?
Democrats have done everything possible to make the election nonsecure.
Trump has nothing to say today and rather just keep his mouth shut he recycles more old campaign fodder. He tried running his 2024 campaign playbook again and for the midterms. It didn’t work, obviously. He should take the hint and “move on”.
Yeah, no more f****** sean hannity. Fogg reported ahead and his lame a**” tiktok tiktok”
Very well said.
Six days late ..

More than that. He’s had over two years. We went from Matt Gaetz to Pam Bondi to ...
Todd Blanche is competent but he was brought in too late to get a lot done.
After Trump won in 2024, he should have had a team assembled to secure our elections.
We can also blame congress but Trump made so many enemies on both sides to where it hurt his effectiveness.
There is no way that this election turned out. It was at complete variance with the polls and had pollsters, in c n worried about the election
More like disgust. Limbaugh was right when he said that Trump was the only person who could harm Trump.
