Why would anybody not think that Trump would cheat to win the election? Look @ his history.

Trump's military boarding high school was no doubt "a rich kid's reform school."

Trump's, "I finished 1st in my class @ Wharton" was a lie and he was not in Wharton's
MBA program either.

Trump Univeristy, The Trump Network, The Trump Institute, Trump Condos, and Trump
Mortgage Co. were all scams.

He has long and well known links to the mob.

He learned much of his craft from Roy Cohn.

He has had 6 bankruptcies.

He has been sued or sued somebody else 5,000 times.

He lies about everything all the time.

He is owned by Putin and the Russians who helped him in the election by God only knows
what means.

When Trump was saying, "The election is rigged." he was just projecting out what he already knew.

Fake confidence and bravado! Fake billions! Fake name-brand!

Inside he's really a mentally and emotionally limited person.

that doesn't mean the actual votes were rigged.

so i suppose it depends on what cheating means.
