Speaking at the 2017 North America's Building Trades Unions National Legislative Conference in Washington months after Election Day, Trump regaled the assembled union members with the story about his unlikely victory, something he has done at countless speeches before.
"They would say, 'There's no way to 270. You need 270. There's no way to 270.' I heard that so much. For a year, I kept saying maybe I shouldn't be running," Trump said, before ticking through the states he won, including unexpected victories in Michigan and Wisconsin.
"They came out of the blue, and we didn't even need them -- and we love those two states -- because we won the state of Pennsylvania. And we won Ohio and Iowa and North Carolina and South Carolina and Florida, and so many others," he said, to cheers.

(3,290 posts)he also knows that the smart lady in the pants suit would have taken over on day one and competently set up a working administration. She would have filled the many staff positions with professionals in their field and the country would be running smoothly. He knows this crapfest that he has begun will never approach the competency that is both expected and required of the president of the United States.
