More than three months after Election Day, President Trump still can’t resist talking about his victory over Hillary Clinton, mentioning it publicly at least 15 times, including most recently:
White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Asked about rising anti-Semitic violence in the United States, Trump replied, “I just want to say that we are, you know, very honored by the victory that we had, 306 Electoral College votes. We were not supposed to crack 220. you know that, right?”
White House meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Asked about his tough stance on immigrants, Trump said, “That’s what I said I would do. I’m just doing what I said I would do, and we won by a very, very large Electoral College vote.”
Addressing cyber-security experts at the White House. “Despite spending a lot less money than the Democrats — and in all fairness winning, people don’t say that, we spent a lot less money, and we won. That’s good, right? Isn’t that a good thing, when you can spend less and win?”
In a phone chat with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Trump boasted about his Electoral College win, according to reports.
In a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump reportedly boasted of his “popularity.”
Remarks at a GOP retreat in Philadelphia: “Nice to win. Do we agree? It’s been a while. It’s been a while since we had this position. Nice to win. Remember? ‘Pennsylvania cannot be won.’ Remember?
‘Pennsylvania cannot be won.’ There is no path to victory for Trump in Pennsylvania.’ Except we won. It was just a great victory.”
