"This was the last week in office for me because of a horrible, horrible election where I got many millions more votes than I did the first time, but didn't quite make it, just a little bit short," Trump said."

"Trump Campaign Memo Admits He Lost Election in 2020

In a new confidential memo, Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio informed the Trump campaign Friday that independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to drop out of the race and endorse Trump is "good news" for Republicans.

But there was one line of that caught the attention of political observers. After calculating how Kennedy's vote will break for Trump, Fabrizio"a veteran GOP pollster and longtime Trump ally"acknowledged that Trump lost Arizona and Georgia to President Joe Biden four years ago.

Trump has still not conceded the 2020 election.

"To put these numbers into perspective, the net vote gained in a states like Arizona based on just a 2020 turnout model would be over 41,000 votes nearly 4 times Biden's winning margin or in Georgia the net gain. would be over 19,000 votes nearly twice Biden's margin," the memo reads."

Prolly more ineptitude than admission.

Please, journalists, at the next, super-exciting joint press conference, please ask RFK, Jr. in Trump's presence if Trump lost the 2020 election.

Well no ---.

He knew he lost in 2020 and said so much to staffers.

So the past four years has been non-stop lying. Well honestly, the last 78 years has been non-stop lying from that compulsive liar.

Yeah, the man scarcely knows where he is anymore,
let alone what he said last week.

He's a national embarrassment. That the GOP
and MAGA will vote for him anyways (many of them
knowing that), speaks volumes about how badly
the GOP need is to control this nation's destiny
(i.e. send us back to 1950's America where racism, sexism,
and hatred were A-Okay!!).

They are a disgusting lot...
