      Trump said, on camera, “I was president, then I wasn’t. Then they rigged the election and now I’m president again.” That’s slightly paraphrased because I don’t care to listen to him talk again if I can avoid it, but the wording wasn’t ambiguous.

      He admitted to it a few more times, but that was the most blatant one.

        Obviously he was referring to Biden’s presidency, which he claims was the result of a rigged election?

          How does, “then they rigged the election and now I’m president again,” suggest that he’s talking about Biden? He plainly laid out the sequence of events. It was one of the least convoluted things I’ve ever heard the man say.

            He was trying to be snide about the fact that he would have been president 2 terms in a row but they cheated him out of it.

          No, he really didn’t.

          He vomits just enough word salad to give his supporters an excuse to pretend he didn’t say what he said, but he’s been remarkably forthright about nearly every heinous thing he’s done or is planning to do, from “grab 'em by the pussy” to “we need Greenland for national security.” And even when he doesn’t just publicly confess outright, you can tell exactly what he did because he falsely accuses others of doing it.
