President Donald Trump raged about his own electoral defeat as he addressed the aftermath of the strike and capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife on Fox News Saturday morning.
News broke after midnight Friday that the United States struck Venezuela’s capital of Caracas early Saturday morning, and at 4:21 AM, Trump announced on Truth Social that Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were captured and flown to the United States.
Trump called in on this week’s edition of Fox & Friends Saturday for a marathon interview, during which he resurrected the false claim that the 2020 election was “rigged” — a claim that underpinned a settlement that included a $787.5 million payout from Fox to Dominion Voting Systems:
GRIFF JENKINS: Will you, Mr. President, still your support behind opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who as you recall won the Nobel Peace Prize and then in turn dedicated it to you for your efforts in pressuring Maduro.
Are you going to fully support her to take over, to run the country.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, we’re going to have to look at it right now. They have a vice president, as you know, I mean, I don’t know about what kind of an election that was.
But, you know the election of Maduro was a disgrace, just like my election was a disgrace. 2020 was a disgrace! And, you know a real disgrace!
Now, 2024 was too big to rig.
But what he did was, I mean his was open–.
I would say frankly you want to know the truth I think Charlie would have said — would testify this– it wasn’t a hell of a lot worse than what they did to us in 2020.
It was our election was a disgrace in 2020 and everyone knows it.
And now it’s It’s come out and it’s come up even in the legal forum.
But it was disgraceful. He had an election there was a rigged election and The people have no love for him. That’s for sure. He’d very little loyalty if any loyalty He was a dictator, who was a tough cookie, and he ran it tough, and the people can’t believe they got so lucky.
Trump has spent years falsely claiming that the 2020 election was “rigged” against him and/or “stolen” from him, despite the fact that Biden defeated Trump in an electoral landslide that has been reaffirmed over and over by state officials from Trump’s own party and dozens of court decisions — and despite consistent mockery even from some allies.
