@advodude @thewanreport There is a pre-election tweet that fits every scenario! It's truly the gift that keeps on giving.

For a little while now, Donald Trump’s been preparing his voters to come to grips with him losing in November by claiming that this year’s presidential election is “rigged.”
It started during the primaries:
I will be interviewed on @foxandfriends at 9:00 A.M. I will be talking about the rigged and boss controlled Republican primaries!

Lyin' Ted Cruz will never be able to beat Hillary. Despite a rigged delegate system, I am hundreds of delegates ahead of him.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2016
We are now at 1001 delegates. We will win on the first ballot and are not wasting time and effort on other ballots because system is rigged!

And this was just last week:
“I’m afraid the election’s going to be rigged. I have to be honest,” Trump told voters in Ohio, a crucial swing state.
…
Trump added that he has heard “more and more” that the November election will be rigged — suggesting to his supporters that the outcome of the election is out of the hands of voters.
…
“I’m telling you, November 8, we’d better be careful, because that election is going to be rigged,” Trump added. “And I hope the Republicans are watching closely or it’s going to be taken away from us.”

But Trump’s assertion is pretty interesting in light of this four-year-old tweet:
China is cooking up conspiracy theories that the Olympics are rigged. http://t.co/0ah0hBJt They don't understand why they can't cheat.

Hmmm.
Yeah it really sucks when people claim a fair process is rigged… https://t.co/6IlvO5qgkb

Doesn’t it, though? Maybe Trump’s the only one who’s allowed to have “conspiracy theories.”
Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many such cases!

I LIVE IN NEW JERSEY & @realDonaldTrump IS RIGHT: MUSLIMS DID CELEBRATE ON 9/11 HERE! WE SAW IT! https://t.co/1SksZU9qlj

Now that George Bush is campaigning for Jeb(!), is he fair game for questions about World Trade Center, Iraq War and eco collapse? Careful!

Nothing’s “rigged” unless Trump says so.
This from the reigning King of Conspiracy Theories. The media is against him, the elections will be rigged.
