Trump's bizarre claim that "millions of illegal votes" cost him the popular vote
Two days ago, Trump issued a remarkable and completely unsubstantiated claim, alleging that millions of voters cast their ballots illegally. However, no evidence was presented to support this claim, and experts and election officials are almost unanimous in their agreement that voter fraud is almost nonexistent. Organizations such as the Brennan Center for Justice, Factcheck, and the Associated Press all dismiss the notion that widespread voter fraud occurs. Lindsey Graham, a seasoned Republican politician, challenged Trump to back his assertion up and expressed confidence in the integrity of the 2016 presidential election results.
Despite all this, I think Trump's baseless suspicion of widespread voter fraud isn't the real issue. It's his utter lack of restraint and tact -- his whimsical attitude and bombastic ego on full display.
