Before the election, reporters asked ex-president Trump if he'd accept the election results.

Does anybody remember how that bullshit got started?

I can’t imagine reporters asking any previous president that question. So I wonder if it’s something the Dotard started, saying that he might not accept the results if he didn’t win. Or did the reporters, just to stir up fecal matter, start it?

when "The Apprentice" never won an Emmy.


Donald Trump's History with the 'Rigged' Emmy Awards - The Apprentice Has Lost Eight Times

"Should have gotten it," Trump reiterated during Thursday's presidential debate

During Thursday’s presidential debate, the GOP nominee’s opponent Hillary Clinton noted the number of times Trump claimed something has been “rigged” against him. “He claims the court systems and the federal judge is rigged,” she said.

“There was even a time when he didn’t get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row and he started tweeting that the Emmys were rigged against him,” Clinton continued, before Trump, 70, interrupted her to say, “Should have gotten it.”

Throughout his seven years of running The Apprentice, Trump garnered eight Emmy nominations and zero wins, even making a cameo at the 2005 awards where he dressed as a farmer for a “Green Acres” bit with Megan Mullally.

It appears the billionaire businessman may still be bitter about those Emmys losses as he has had a history of bashing the television award program both verbally and on Twitter – tweets that Clinton had brought up during the third debate.
