If you thought winning the election would stop Donald Trump complaining, you were wrong

Homenews

For all Donald Trump's faults, and there are many, some of us were naive enough to think that winning the US Presidential election would at least be enough for him to stop complaining about a rigged US Presidential election.

However, it seems logic isn't always a friend of the US President-elect. Before the election, Trump was crying fix. Which you might think is rather odd. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/787258211283918848 The above tweet, and the three that follow, were all sent within the space of 48 hours. Yup, you read that right. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/787267564405653505 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/787632098794467328 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/787699930718695425 The good news for Trump is that, if the election was 'rigged' as he says, it wasn't enough to help Hillary Clinton see off his challenge. The Republican candidate won the electoral vote, though an official request for a recount has followed (even if there are no suggestions of foul play). So, has Trump - who, let's remember, *won* the electoral vote (if not the popular vote) decided to bite his tongue and ride it all out? We'll let you take a guess. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/802972944532209664 And here's a screenshot, just in case Trump deletes the original. vote It is a bizarre accusation to be making, not least because the first arrest for electoral fraud involved a Trump supporter. There were some reasonably sensible responses thrown the way of the President-elect. https://twitter.com/davidpkfishman/status/802973319909797888 While others were more keen to just point out the obvious. https://twitter.com/NevAriJason/status/802975765260181504 https://twitter.com/HelenKennedy/status/802973414877261824 https://twitter.com/kevinmccauley/status/802975883942301696
