At the 2:27 mark,Trump clearly says "They rigged the election" and I'm here.......... Filmed on March 7, 2025

Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/live/44PSaIfKGtE?si=2uak0o5coCDKcKKt&t=145

They together this White House Task Force chaired by the president himself. He chose the importance of the FIFA World Cups, I should say, because there are many, many topics to deal with, of course, and we want everyone who comes to America and who goes to watch one of these games. We have 10 million tickets for sale. It's like three Super Bowls every day for one month. Then everyone that goes feels safe, feels happy, and feels that we are doing something special. So we're here to create and to make the best show on the planet ever, and we'll do it together. Mr. President, I love what he said, like three Super Bowls a day for a month. That's what it is. That's what it is that's really amazing when you think of it. I've never heard that experience a lot when you know, when we made this, it was made during my term, my first term, and it was so sad because I said, Can you imagine, I'm not going to be president, and that's too bad. And what happened is they rigged the election, and I became president. So that was a good thing. It was a good thing. That was quite an achievement for both of us; I'll be president during the World Cup and during the Olympics, which we were very instrumental in getting. And then, of course, we have our 250th birthday too. When that happened, I wasn't instrumental, that just happened to fall at the same time. So we have the three, those three big events, you know, get very much bigger than that, the Olympics, World Cup, and number 250, and it's a great honor, but I appreciate your selecting us, and we were selected a long time ago though during the term during my first sermon. It's an honor to be with you, my friend. Absolutely. He's a great dear ons okay, I'll sign this, and that makes it official. Right, that makes it official. Yes.


Here are the events and the dates
Winter Olympics 2026: February 6 – February 22, 2026 (Milan & Cortina, Italy)
Summer Olympics 2028: July 21 – August 6, 2028 (Los Angeles, USA)

FIFA World Cup
Men's FIFA World Cup 2026: June – July 2026 (USA, Canada, and Mexico)
Women's FIFA World Cup 2027: TBD (host country not yet confirmed)
America's 250th Birthday (Semiquincentennial)
July 4, 2026 (The United States will celebrate its 250th Independence Day)


Note: this is not about the 2020 election. Note the dates of the events" the years 2026 and 2027 for the events. Also note Trump comments:"I'll be president during the World Cup and during the Olympics"... "And then, of course, we have our 250th birthday too."

1. Talk about an achievement, he deserves no praise, just a kick in the nuts (if you can find them).

the lies he has told over his lifetime. He must have told a few hundred thousand by now and many more to come.

4. I'd say this IS about the 2020 election. Note the dates of the events, the years 2026 and 2027, as you say.

To me, the clearest reading of this is that is saying he thought he was not going to be president for the 2026 and 2027 events. But because "they" rigged the 2020 election, he ended up running again and winning in 2024, so now he WILL be president for the 2026 and 2027 events after all.

He is a very clumsy speaker. But he's still not going to say that his team rigged the election for him. Only his enemies rig elections, you know.

Keep in mind he probably has Dementia. so the truth he'd like to keep hidden comes out.

then how sad he was that he wouldn't be president, but then the election was rigged so he became president again. I don't see how anyone can interpret this as talking about 2016 or 2020.

re: "but then the election was rigged so he became president again. I don't see how anyone can interpret this as talking about 2016 or 2020."

He has always claimed the 2020 election was rigged, his statement here is consistent with that. He appears to be saying that, as a result of that 2020 election being rigged against him, he was able to run again and become president again in 2024. This is why he now can be president during those events after all.

This is also consistent with his wording that "THEY" (not "WE&quot rigged the election. It is his enemies who rig elections, not his friends.

11. Still doesn't make sense.

His actual quote is

"when we made this, it was made during my term, my first term, and it was so sad because I said, Can you imagine, I'm not going to be president, and that's too bad. And what happened is they rigged the election, and I became president. So that was a good thing. It was a good thing."

"They rigged the election and I became president."

What happened is they (Musk & Co) rigged the election and he became president. He goes right from rigging elections to his being elected. To believe he means what you say, he would have had to say something like, "It's too bad I wasn't going to be president because they (Dems) rigged the election and I wasn't reelected. But now I've been elected again!" The lack of "again," the lack of follow-up ranting about how Biden stole 2020 from him, these are big flags for me that he's talking about 2024.

That convinced me. He didn't need our votes. His immune ass doesn't need our laws. He avoids prosecution/prison and Elon and friends eliminate federal roadblocks to the draining of the nation's wealth. Nice gig if you can get it.

It must have been quite a relief for him to say it. It wasn't sarcasm because people like him don't do sarcasm, which requires a level of empathy to achieve. Maybe it was his crude attempt at sarcasm, something he's seen others do, as when cargo cults fashioned crude replicas of cargo planes, but notice that no one laughed.

I posted a link to this clip being hosted on the CSPAN web site. If it was false, they would have taken it down. It's obviously taking about 2024 election. People are yawning and insisting he's talking about 2020, or saying, so what the press will ignore it. WTAF, PEOPLE?!?!

If the MSM isn't spreading it, it's up to us to share it so broadly the MSM will HAVE to report it.

12. They really did rig the election.

Greg Palast has the details. Trump appears to have admitted it.

Don't expect a lot of visitors for the FIFA and the Olympics if you keep arresting tourists at the airport.
