51. Maybe Trump was projecting.

Dec 2016

Once the administration repeatedly reassured voters that the election wasn't rigged, it weakened any post-election claim by the administration that it was.

It always struck me as odd that Trump had very few field offices. It was almost as if he knew he wouldn't need them.

And it was quite a coincidence that the three blue/swing states Trump decided to visit the weekend before the election were Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Those visits may have been made to give him cover for the surprising result.
