Drumf after election "Next time we'll win the old fashioned way"

Anyone else remember him saying this on live TV as he was making his rounds in DC? It was the same day he laid a wreath at the Unknown Soldier's Grave. He didn't make the comment AT the grave but it was at TWO other pit stops that day and cameras were following him around and getting his comments. I had the TV most of the day and saw him say it each time..exact same sentence each time.

Yet NO one that I watched on the news shows that night or the days after took time to say "WTF did he mean by that?". No one has asked him personally in any interviews since then WTF did you mean by THIS (roll the tape...on both pit stops).

The old fashioned way..let that sink in.

Oh yes, I remember, media was still too busy normalizing this traitorous piece of shit to notice.

to run. Think deep inside, he knows he doesn't really deserve to be there.

If he sticks totally to sparking the economy and the stock market keeps
rising (millions seeing their 401 k's grow) he will survive no matter what. No one will
care about all his fucked up stuff except us.

and assumed he had stolen the election with the help of the Russians and thought he could win honestly next time.

I suppose he could have meant the popular vote, but as I remember there was a lot of nervous laughter after he said it in the room. It was at a party for his high amount donors.

....with this memory. Seriously, because she is so good at pulling those threads. You won't see your answer right away, because there is just an avalanche of stuff coming out, but in time...

Rachel picks up on things -- she has now caught both Jeff Sessions and Mike Pence on camera answering questions they were not asked. Now you remember Trump doing the very same thing. Things that make the likes of you and I go "what was that?" make Rachel get out her shovel and start digging.
