Trump Denies Admitting Defeat in 2020 Election: 'I Have Not Conceded'

Former President Donald Trump reaffirmed in a new interview that he has not conceded defeat in the 2020 election, months after losing it.

Real America’s Voice host David Brody spoke to Trump on Monday, and asked for the former president’s reaction to recent articles stating Trump admitted to not winning re-election. Those headlines were based on a moment last week when Trump spoke to Fox News’ Sean Hannity and said “we were supposed to win easily at 64 million votes, and we got 75 million votes, and we didn’t win. But let’s see what happens on that.”

Asked to clarify whether he admitted defeat, Trump said “No, I never admitted defeat. We have a lot of things happening right now…All you have to do is read the newspapers and see what’s coming out now. The word is concede. I have not conceded.”

Ever since Trump lost the election to President Joe Biden, he has pushed unsubstantiated claims that the election was “stolen” from him and corrupted by mass fraud. That rhetoric fueled Trump’s supporters as they stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th in a violent attempt to overthrow the election, yet the former president continues to rail against the election’s legitimacy.

1. I'd say, "Oh grow up" but that ship has sailed

He still doesn't know how to count. But if nitwits like David Brody have nothing better to do with their lives than stick a mic in front of that former guy, I'd say a good, hard look at his life is in order for Brody.

2. So if he really won, then he can't run in 2024, right?

12. Not only do the Trumpers believe he can run in 2024,

they believe he can also run in 2028 because be was impeached and that “nullifies” his first term.

10. Trump's 11 million "extra" 2020 votes came from the 26 million who DIDN'T vote in 2016

due to their being either too apathetic or too young. He lost "easily" because the other FIFTEEN million of those votes went to Biden. Add those four million excess non-2016 votes to the three million votes that contributed to Trump's popular vote margin of defeat in 2016 (how likely is it that the "landslide majority" of THEM changed their minds about him?), and you get Biden's seven million vote margin of victory.
