If we had known....?

...that Donald Trump had paid off the stripper and the playmate, and was negotiating a deal with Russia to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, before the election, would he have won the states that he did?

Does that mean that Donald Trump is not the legitimate President?

I think it does.

There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that Putin's hackers ensured Trump won the electoral votes he needed to win the election,

His rabid fan base wanted someone to affirm their racism and Xenophobia. The Republican Party made a deal with the devil so to speak. They looked the other way, and let a criminal family take over the White House. I am not buying for second they did not know how awful Trump was.
