Would Trump rather had won the popular vote but lost the election?

He won the election that he deems is rigged.

    He's Trump.  He wanted both.  He seems to have a real problem accepting the vote count, even though he was made President without anyone fighting for a recount.  I have been shaking my head for days over this.  I sure don't get why he wants to look so foolish, making statements without fact.  Claiming that up to 5 million votes COULD have been fraudulent is no small accusation.  

    I fear he is making these inflammatory statements to justify that big fat wall he wants to build.  I hope I am wrong.

    I have the opposite problem.  I want to understand things to the point of probably being foolish.

    I'd rather call that investigation/ corroboration. This post was edited by Beans/SilentGeneration at January 26, 2017 9:50 AM MST

    I bet there's times he wish he did lose. When he wakes up and gets out of bed, for example. lol

    I believe the reason he's making such a commotion about it is that with Clinton having gotten almost 3 million more votes than he did, it appears that his win was not a legitimate one.  It isn't enough for him to have won the electoral votes without having won the popular vote.  In his mind, winning both is the only legitimate win.

    I agree Spunky, and numbers are very important to him.
    Not being the most popular and not getting the most votes is something he can't stand.

    If anyone has an "alternate reality" machine available, I want to visit one of the multiverses where Der Pumpkinfuhrer won the popular vote but lost due to Electoral College procedures.

    I think watching Pumpkinhead fuming at NOT being President in such a scenario would be highly entertaining....;-D...
