So, once again President Trump is 'trump'eting about voter fraud and how millions of votes are wrong, despite the fact that even the person he's currently cheering on has nothing to substantiate his claims, months after the fact (and has a bit of a dodgy record when it comes to trustworthiness apparently).
So, if he's that convinced that the U.S. election had massive amounts of voter fraud, why doesn't he just do the decent thing, declare the election invalid, and hold a new one? If electoral fraud is really as rampant as he claims it is, then obviously the result of the election is invalid, and a new one should be held.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday pressed his widely debunked claims of massive voter fraud by encouraging the work of a Texas man who has offered no evidence to support his claim that millions of people illegally voted in the 2016 elec

If he has a shred of dignity, he should have declared the election null and void.
Everyone knows that Russia helps him to win the election, and he admits as much, so in this sense, the election is null and void.
I just wonder why nobody takes action to nullify the election.

The decent thing? He can't declare the election invalid because HE knows that figures like "3 million invalid and illegal votes" cannot be substantiated ... and he also knows that he only won the election because of the shortcomings of the electoral system which allows someone to win even though the other party had a substantial majority of individual votes.
Clearly what he plans to do now is to arrest and waterboard all US residents who are merely suspected of voting illegally to make them confess. Then he will send them [back] to Mexico so that they can clear up the mortar and point the joints on the Mexican side of the wall which is to be built (of course) by US Citizens from the American side.

I am actually beginning to wonder if he has a grasp on reality. He may actually believe that he didn't get votes due to voter fraud, and not because he isn't popular. Having the leader of a country with that level of delusion is worrying, if it's true.

Fact: "The sky is blue"
Alternative Fact: "The sky is the same color as the grass [I can't help that I'm colorblind] which everyone knows is green. If you don't believe me, I'll deny that climate change exists, thereby abolishing grass and trees, so there! ... Nya-nya, ni, nya-na!"

it does seem odd for him to be so concerned about fraud in an election he won, though he can't bear the fact that he lost the popular vote by 3 million, and in true democrasy tht should put Hillary in the Whitehouse - Trump can't handle so many people not just disloking him but actually despising him
