Trump Said He Felt He Was Going to Lose the Election, Despite Denying It

Source: WTVD

Donald Trump is pushing back against "media outlets" and "pundits" that he said he was going to lose the election, but one person may disagree with that assertion -- Donald Trump.

On Monday, Trump tweeted:

But in Wisconsin last month, during a leg of his "Thank You" tour, he appeared to give the opposite impression, recounting a lengthy discussion he had with his wife on election night.

"But anyway- so I got the bad news from my daughter," he told the crowd in West Allis. "And I said, that's too bad. So I go and see my wife. I said baby, I tell you what. We're not going to win tonight because the polls have come out...It's just looking bad, but you know what, I'm okay with it because of the fact that I couldn't have worked any harder."

Trump told supporters that remember saying "If I lose, I lose."

"But so I felt, you know, you don't feel good if you didn't put out and you lose, but if you put out every single ounce of energy in your blood, you feel like okay. There's nothing more you can do," he recounted. "So I told her, and she looked at me and she has seen these rallies and she said you're not going to lose. I say- No I'm telling you the polls are looking very bad."

At any given monent, he'll say whatever he thinks he'd most like to be heard saying. Update your history books, Comrades.
