Since Green Party candidate Jill Stein filed for a recount in Wisconsin and Hillary Clinton’s campaign stated they would join her efforts in that state and others, President-elect Donald Trump and his team have gone on the attack.

Campaign manager and transition adviser Kellyanne Conway called the Clinton team “sore losers” while Trump released a statement calling it “a scam by the Green Party.” He also tweeted out today that Clinton conceded and that nothing will change, all while complaining that people told him to accept the results if he should lose.

Finally, Trump took to Twitter to release a tweetstorm this afternoon in which he claimed he would have won the popular vote if millions hadn’t voted illegally. (Currently, Clinton leads the national popular vote by 2.2 million.)

This led to a ton of reaction on Twitter. Some wondered if Trump’s remarks meant that maybe we should do a full recount and audit of the national vote:

So Trump just said 2 million people voted illegally. Shouldn't that trigger an audit of the vote by itself?

Trump dismisses 3-state recount effort as a scam…

Trump is tweeting that many "illegals" voted. If that is the case, he should call for a nationwide recount. Let's go.

We also had those who believed he was stating that undocumented immigrants voted for Clinton:

To be clear on what Trump is alleging: that at least 2% of all the ballots cast in the US election were from undocumented people. https://t.co/qvbTW3PT1G

Some just thought it was just plain dangerous:

I honestly think this is the most dangerous thing Trump has said so far. Again, we're all numb by now, but be alarmed.

The Trump voting tweet may be more than an ego spasm. It may also be a warning that voting is about to be made more difficult for millions

Important to address Trump's ramblings because w/ control of gov't Trump will use voter fraud (fake) to increase voter suppression (real)

And others believed he was just feeding his ego and looking to be the center of attention:

Trump is a needy, monstrously insecure narcissist who is in need of constant affirmation. This is who he is

— Michael Cohen (@speechboy71) November 27, 2016

it might just be that Trump likes being the center of attention and the topic of conversation. just throwing a guess out there.

There was also those who noted that Trump was likely trying to distract from other issues with these tweets:

Don't get distracted by Trump's tweets. Do get ready for a big federal push to make it harder for people to vote.

Two reactions to Trump's "I won the pop vote" tweet

2. What bad thing is about to happen that he's trying to distract us from

And then there was Josh Barro, who wondered why Trump was all ticked off about the recount when it likely won’t change anything:

It's strange how agitated Trump is about this recount effort, which isn't going to matter at all.
