That's disfavorable of Trump? I thought it was one of his main talking points.

I guess it would be disfavorable if it referred to 2024 rather than 2020, but claiming 2024 was rigged doesn't seem to be a big thing so I expect that most of the search results would have been about 2020.

There is speculation that the 2024 election was rigged and it was the most recent election so I would expect that there would be more recent posts about it than the 2020 election.

Why would Trump say that!? I think it's just him being incoherent, but it would be a confession from anyone who isn't regularly so incoherent.

Edit: Maybe Trump meant to say that he won because Musk protected the machines from tampering?

He knows that even if the election was confirmed to be rigged, there’s nothing that will be done about it at this point.
