‘THEY RIGGED THE ELECTION?!’: Trump allegedly alludes to a rigged election and the internet is freaking out
During the inauguration, President Donald Trump claimed that his allies “rigged” the election in his favor. While this was largely delivered as a joke, online spectators were unsettled, to say the least.
“We had our top people, Wasserman—they all came in for the Olympics,” Trump spoke of Casey Wasserman, the chairman for the 2028 LA Olympics. Trump then expressed disappointment that he wouldn’t be president during the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympics. He continued, “I said, ‘I won’t be there! I won’t be your president.’ But then they rigged the election, and now we won, so I will be your president for the Olympics.” The crowd erupted into a cheer, but those online were disturbed by Trump’s words.
