Quotes from Trump concerning the Electoral College. Has he forgotten that Democrats would prefer the Popular Vote being used? Someone is confused. :s
President-elect Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Sunday night and declared that Democrats were “fighting hard” to make all future presidential elections based “exclusively” on the Electoral College.
“The Democrats are fighting hard to get rid of the Popular Vote in future Elections,” he wrote. “They want all future Presidential Elections to be based exclusively on the Electoral College!”
While some decided to take Trump literally and felt he was showing signs of “dementia” by “falsely suggesting” the elections aren’t currently based on the Electoral College, others took the opportunity to note that Trump’s “only consistent position is whatever electoral method he thinks is more likely to [produce] a Republican is the one he supports.”
Indeed, prior to his victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016, Trump claimed that the Electoral College is a “disaster for a democracy.” However, after gaining more electoral votes than Clinton despite losing to her by nearly 3 million in the popular vote, Trump changed his tune. “The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play,” he tweeted at the time. “Campaigning is much different!”
