In amongst a flurry of tweets posted on Sunday morning (US time), was one in which he wrote:
"He won because the Election was Rigged. NO VOTE WATCHERS OR OBSERVERS allowed, vote tabulated by a Radical Left privately owned company, Dominion, with a bad reputation & bum equipment that couldn’t even qualify for Texas (which I won by a lot!), the Fake & Silent Media, & more!"
This was the first time he publicly conceded that Biden won, fairly or not.
It came as a number of lawsuits brought by his campaign in various states mostly failed to make any headway in court, more-or-less wiping out the possibility that the result could be overturned.
However, Trump has now followed that up with two more tweets in which he claimed:
“He only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA. I concede NOTHING! We have a long way to go. This was a RIGGED ELECTION!"
“RIGGED ELECTION. WE WILL WIN!”
