President Donald Trump first said in 2016 that he believed the only way he would lose is if the election were rigged. He has constantly repeated that since even as he dropped in the polls. He neglected to say what his source was. If it was a reliable source, there would have been information that could have been acted upon. As president, with all the resources available to him (FBI, CIA, Justice Department, all the GOPs men, even costly private investigators), why couldn’t the fraud have been prevented? Is this just further evidence of his incompetence?
