Wait, Did Trump Just Admit He Lost the 2020 Election?
One thousand three hundred eighty-eight days after the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump appeared to tacitly admit that he lost to Joe Biden.
Almost four years of denials gave way to one seemingly innocuous throwaway line, made while Trump held a press availability Thursday about immigration issues near a stretch of wall on the Arizona side of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Holding up a printed copy of a graph that purportedly shows migrant encounter stats at the southern border, and which was on display the moment he was the target of an assassination attempt at a July rally in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, Trump spoke, as he often does, of his proclaimed hard-line immigration policies. He pointed to a supposed downturn in encounters that he said occurred at the end of his presidency, and then out came the slip.
