In a rambling 45-minute video rant posted to his Facebook page, President Trump spewed more baseless allegations of voter fraud before complaining that Democrats have made his last four years “like living in hell.”
Trump made the remarks while falsely claiming that Democrats have spent four years trying to “overturn the results of the 2016 election.”
“The media knows this, but they don’t want to report it,” Trump complained. “In fact, they outright refuse to even cover it, because they know the result if they do. Even what I’m saying now will be demeaned and disparaged, but that’s okay. I just keep on going forward, because I’m representing 74 million people, and in fact, I’m also representing all of the people that didn’t vote for me. The mail-in voting scam is the latest part of their four year effort to overturn the results of the 2016 election, and it’s been like living in hell. Our opponents have proven many times again and again, that they will say, and do anything to get back into power.”

Trump kicked off the speech by saying this might “may be the most important speech I’ve ever made.”
He went on to call the election a “total catastrophe.”
Trump’s own Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) called the November 3rd election “the most secure in American history.”
“There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” the agency added.
