NEW: Trump’s Latest Tantrum Claims He Won The Popular Vote (TWEETS)

He may have won the election for President, but Donald Trump hasn’t changed one tiny bit.

He is still a whiny, petulant, immature jackass who twists the truth so hard that it screams.

In his latest little hissy fit, the President elect took to Twitter (as usual) to complain about how unfair life is. Poor Donald.

The self-proclaimed billionaire spent the past year complaining that the election process in the United States is rigged.  Now that the votes have all been counted, and the man has won, you’d think he would be less of a complainer. Not so.

The problem for the future leader of the free world is that his opponents are requesting recounts of the election results in some key states, including Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The Green Party, under the leadership of candidate Dr. Jill Stein, started the effort, but has since been joined by the Democratic Party.

Trump is losing what passes for his mind over the recounts.

Some of his tweets, like the one below, have included attacks on those who seek the recounts.

He’s getting even more outrageous now, though.

Trump’s latest twitter tantrum was a case of pure pretzel logic.

Before we look at those tweets, let’s review some facts.

First of all, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by a count that currently exceeds two million. Second, Trump is now the President elect because he won those key swing states by relatively small margins.

Third, a number of the nation’s top computer scientists claim that there is evidence of vote tampering or hacking in many of those same states. This is particularly true in areas that relied on electronic voting machines.

So Trump claimed (with no evidence) that the election was rigged. But he screamed “unfair!” when his opposition agreed that there might be a problem and asked for a recount (based on computer evidence.)

Since his position makes absolutely no sense, Trump has turned to a new claim. You ready for this?

Trump is now whining that he actually would have won the popular vote if the system hadn’t been rigged against him. He tweeted this:

Only there is NO evidence that anyone voted illegally, let alone “millions of people.” None. No facts. No evidence.

Once again, the President elect of the United States of America is making stuff up out of thin air to try to protect his fragile ego. He has consistently claimed that the system is rigged against him, even though he won the election!

How do you explain the mentality of a man who has to lie to make himself look bigger and stronger and better than he is? How do you explain the mental health of a person who can’t accept reality when that reality bumps up against the way he wants it to be?

I guess you explain it with one short phrase:

“Not fit to be President.”
