Mediaite reports:
President Donald Trump again pushed a baseless claim about “tremendous cheating” that cost him the popular vote in a segment of his Fox News interview with Laura Ingraham that aired Tuesday night.
Trump talked up the enthusiasm among his own supporters when Ingraham asked, “Do you think you could win the popular vote?”
“People say it’s important for you to win it, not because you wouldn’t be president, but because it sends a message to the country,” she said. “I think I could win,” Trump said, before going on to claim, “I think I did win the popular vote, in a true sense.”
