Democrats Have Been Denying Trump The Presidency Ever Since His First Victory
If there is anyone who has a right to call an election leaning towards Joe Biden illegitimate, it is Donald Trump.

For four years, Democrats branded Donald Trump an illegitimate president and treated him as such. Even though election night ended with Trump easily surpassing the 270 Electoral College votes needed to unquestionably secure him the victory, the left refused to accept the political outsider’s victory.
“[H]e knows he’s an illegitimate president,†Hillary Clinton seethed in a CBS News interview from last fall, before implying Trump stole the election. “I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used, from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories — he knows that — there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did,†Clinton claimed.
Former President Jimmy Carter likewise branded Trump’s presidency as “illegitimate†during a panel discussion at an event held in June 2019 at his nonprofit organization, the Carter Center. Explaining his theory of illegitimacy, Carter posited that Trump “lost the election, and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.â€
The left’s attacks on Trump were not limited to labeling the duly elected president illegitimate. No, Democrats, the media, Never Trump Republicans, the outgoing Obama administration, holdover political appointees, and a swamp of career bureaucrats attempted to first undermine, and then undo, Americans’ choice for the 45th president.
