As Clinton’s Lead Approaches 3 Million Votes, Trump Tweets He Would’ve Won Popular Vote Had He Wanted to

trump-hillaryIt appears that President-Elect Donald Trump cannot let go of the fact that he won the Electoral College, but not the popular vote.

The final presidential election results are in, and according to Cook Political Report, Trump got a raw vote total of 62,979,636 (46.1%) while his opponent Hillary Clinton got 65,844,610 votes (48.2). Ergo, Clinton did take the popular vote with a 2,864,974 voter difference from Trump.

This being the case, Trump seems to have gotten on Twitter this morning, and did that thing he likes to do:

Recently, a poll indicated that more than half of Republican voters believe that Trump was the actual winner of the popular vote. Trump has recently said that he would’ve preferred winning the presidency through the popular vote, rather than the Electoral College.
