US President Donald Trump cast doubt on the results of the recent midterm elections in a Monday post on Truth Social, despite having previously accepted the massive Democratic victory.
“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest,” Trump wrote in his post, questioning how pre-election polls could have been so wrong.
“Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote,” Trump claimed. “It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”
Last week, Trump told The New York Times that he was “absolutely willing” to accept the election results.
However, last month he told reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland that he would accept the results “if they’re honest elections.”
Trump congratulates Democrats on midterm election victory
After the initial midterm election results were first released on Tuesday, Trump congratulated the Democrats on their victory, saying they had done a “good job.”
“They’ve been fighting me for a long time,” he said. “I don’t like to consider this a defeat; I wasn’t on the ballot.”
Trump told Fox News at the time that he was “a little bit surprised” about the election results. “I thought that I could transfer those people into candidates.”
