Despite years of his and his followers saying the election was stolen, Trump finally admitted he lost the 2020 election (It will be interesting to see the reaction of die-hard followers having to swallow their words)

Former President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged that he did not win the 2020 presidential election, telling podcaster Lex Fridman that he "lost by a whisker."

"I was told if I got 63 million, which is what I got the first time, 'You would win. You can't not win.' And I got millions more votes than that and lost by a whisker," Trump added.

Again.....it's not the popular vote that wins Presidential elections.  He did not really lose by a whisker either.  The Electoral College vote was 306 (57% of total) for Biden and 232 for Trump (43% of total).  That's a 14% difference.  I'd call 1% or less a whisker, but not 14%.  If Trump had won by such a margin he'd be calling it a landslide, a huge victory, so big it's hard to imagine, possibly the biggest ever, really biggggg.

In 2016, Trump's margin of victory in the Electoral College was exactly the same as Biden's in 2020. Here's what Trump had to say then:

Speaking on "Fox News Sunday," Trump claimed that "We had a massive landslide victory, as you know, in the Electoral College." Hillary Clinton, he said, is "down to a very low number." He added that Democrats "suffered one of the greatest defeats in the history of politics in this country."
