During a Wednesday campaign stop in Abingdon, Virginia, Donald Trump bemoaned the loss of neighboring North Carolina’s discriminatory voter ID law and blamed the media for hammering him for suggesting the election would be “rigged.”
Trump called the recent appeals court ruling that North Carolina’s voter ID law was intended to discriminate against African-American voters “a tremendous loss” to the state.
“You know, I’ve been talking about the rigged system for a long time, and I get hammered in the press for talking about, ‘Oh, I can’t believe he’d be talking about the rigged system,'” the GOP nominee said. “Then in the meantime, voter ID, you don’t have to do. And I’m sure none of those folks would be voting ten times during one day, right?”
When the New York businessman escalated his often repeated “rigged system” talking point to suggest the general election would be “rigged” at an Aug. 1 event, the remarks were viewed as Trump’s first efforts to lay the groundwork to rationalize a loss in November.
Speaking to an audience of coal miners in Virginia, Trump urged them to turn out to vote on Nov. 8, telling them, “You have absolutely nothing to lose. Believe me.”
Rigged = non-whites can vote.
Yup.
It’s much more ego-driven than that.

If you’re going to recycle your material, at least make it one of your greatest hits. No one cares about your B side material…
Um…no one is voting ten times a day.
It’s painfully obvious he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s just a dumb, terrible person in Josh’s vernacular.
And he doesn’t care to become knowledgeable…not when throwing verbal sh*t bombs is so much more fun.
