@realDonaldTrump
Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued. My victory was even bigger than thought!

(21,639 posts)I suppose we can take it as a good sign of sorts, as it means they've realized they can't hack and flip enough votes to overcome the Trump slump - both approval and economy-wise.

(32,086 posts)That tweet is his normal, bizarro ball of gaslighting, narrative changing, preemptive ass-covering, and the usual self-aggrandizing pack of lies he's always telling. The only ones who aren't sick of this shit are his cult followers. He's just trying to make the rest of us terminally ill by bombarding us with this kind of lunacy.

(115,733 posts)for Hillary (which they couldn't), they'd have manipulated them in states where she needed an electoral win instead of wasting them on California. But her popular vote win has been eating at him all this time so he had to come up with something to relieve that pain in the ego.

CommonSenseMom
(43 posts)anything about Google or the other tech companies. Clearly, has no idea. Manipulated? By physically changing votes in a precinct's tabulations or a state's final numbers on their computers? Or is he/are they saying Google influenced that many people to vote another way? Seriously scratching my head here . . .

(18,837 posts)...sometimes he does that when they are the source, other times when he just wants to high-five them with his latest manufactured scenarios. So it was them, or Fox. I'm sure it will come out later.

(21,577 posts)google went to all the trouble to manipulate 16 million votes but accepted a Hillary loss because I guess 16,077,000 (+77k to win MI/PA/WI) was just pushing it a little too far LOL
So... lest ye be fooled.... this isn't about 2016. it is about 2020. these are "foot in the door" tweets to lay the groundwork for more voter suppression and/or contesting the election.

(5,551 posts)Trump, sounds like it's driving him crazy that he got less votes. He will do anything to change the perception of him being the loser!
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)of course. But he's lived his whole life creating a false PR image. So the 2.6, in his mind "covered."
not sure if still on, but Netflix had a great four part documentary on trump - starting on his first foray into Manhattan real estate. As time went on they said he was absolutely the best self-promoter ever known. In old clips, they showed how much people idolized him (false image), including the press.
To me, though, as pResident, it ALL goes back to him getting away with what he says. He accomplishes this by not having any proper press conferences where he is held accountable. Why Dem candidates don't mention this all the time is a mystery. It shows he is autocratic and above the law, norms, and traditions.

(12,586 posts)rather than just match Hillary's result.
As Hillary put it, "I'm living rent-free in Donald's head."
Why did this suddenly pop into his head? And buying Greenland, too? Has Fat Donnie truly gone over the edge?

President Donald Trump explained why Fox News has drawn his ire and that they need to realize hes the one in control of them.
In a conversation on the tarmac in Morristown, New Jersey on his way back to Washington, Trump said that Fox News has not been good to him lately.
Fox is a lot different than it used to be, I can tell you that, Trump said.

(3,131 posts)I think the main reasons are deflection for something coming out and fueling Support for censoring the internet.
But maybe there is some truth. People use google to check his statements and others criticisms of him and find out what a racist bumbling creepy lying pos he is. That might have swung a number of votes.
Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)He sees that 2020 isn't a sure thing by conventional means, so he's working on "Plan B."
There's no way Private Citizen Trump wants to face the SDNY in January 2021.

(9,895 posts)It clearly eats at his soul and he STILL cannot accept the fact that even though his handlers cheated and installed him in office, they could not manage to do so with a majority of the votes cast.
HE LOST...on sheer numbers of voters, more people did NOT want him as POTUS than those who did or had their votes changed to get him installed.
Suffer Donnie 2 Scoops. You LOST. You are a LOSER. He who has fewer votes in the history books and FOREVER, will be known as the LOSER. And in 2020, you're gonna get to hear your dumb ass catch phrase LOUD AND CLEAR....
YOU ARE FUCKING FIRED LOSER!!!
