List the most damning of Don the Con's projections during the campaign

For me it was that if he didn't win, it meant that the elections would have been rigged.
This while he was orchestrating the worst rigging of an election in American history with help from a foreign government.

By repeating his outrageous lie over and over, Trump successfully created this false image among enough people to help him win the presidency. He still constantly uses it.

and the other giant lie is that immigrants represent a major crime threat, when in fact they have a lower rate of criminality than the general population.

edit to add: Trump often projects his own personal flaws onto others.

The taint of voting and supporting this vile, vulgar man, will stay with his supporters forever. I will never forget.
