In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

Trump famously hammered home the idea that the 2016 election would be “rigged” when polls (all of them) erroneously had him trailing Clinton across the country.
Earlier this week, when sitting down with The New York Times, Trump said that the he was “never a fan of the Electoral College until now” implying that, like many Americans, at one point Trump had a hard time reconciling the notion that the person who wins the most votes doesn’t necessarily win the presidency.
During that meeting, when asked if he would accept the results of the election whichever way they go, Trump took a while to respond, indicating that he’d accept the outcome if he agreed with it.
Stein, meanwhile, has posted some tweets of her own, offering advice to both Clinton and Trump: “Want democracy? Enact laws guaranteeing the presidency to whomever receives the most popular votes in all 50 states.”
