Summary: Donald Trump tweeted that along with the electoral vote he also won the popular- "if you take away the millions of people who voted illegally". Trump suspects voter fraud, but there is no evidence to back him up. He says he would have won the popular vote if he campaigned in 3-4 states instead of doing 15. Trump insists that there was voter fraud in California, New Hampshire, and Virginia and that they all had to with bias.
Analysis/Synthesis: Even with no evidence, Trump claims voter fraud. It seems that the more and more claims Trump makes, the more it shows he doesn't do thorough and correct research. He must know how vexing it must be to not win the popular vote- the people of America's vote- and thus he has to make reasons on why he didn't win. In my opinion what Trump said was ridiculous, he might as well have said "I would've won the popular vote if people voted for me".
