Don't tell his cult followers, but the Malignant Loser has admitted to a group of historians that he lost the 2020 election:
"The admission came in a video interview with a panel of historians convened by Julian Zelizer, a Princeton professor and editor of The Presidency of Donald Trump: A First Historical Assessment. The interview was published on Monday by the Atlantic.
Describing his attempts to make South Korea pay more for US military assistance, Trump said Moon Jae-in, the South Korean president, was among the 'happiest' world leaders after the 2020 US election put Joe Biden in the White House.
'By not winning the election,' Trump said, 'he was the happiest man – I would say, in order, China was – no, Iran was the happiest.'
'[Moon] was going to pay $5bn, $5bn a year. But when I didn’t win the election, he had to be the happiest – I would rate, probably, South Korea third- or fourth-happiest.'” (our emphasis)
From the day after the election to the present, the Malignant Loser has been peddling the Big Lie that he actually won the election, but it was rigged against him. That lie has resulted in dozens of frivolous lawsuits to overturn the election, the misleading and radicalization of his cult followers, the deadly insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, and his impeachment for his seditious actions following the 2020 election.
It's entirely fitting that his admission came while describing an attempt to extort another foreign leader, this time South Korea's Moon Jae-in, for the U.S.'s military assistance, much like a mob boss would extort a business for "protection" against arson, robbery, etc.
