After four years of Donald Trump persistently claiming victory in the 2020 Presidential election, a newly released audio recording reveals him allegedly admitting defeat. In an interview with Variety's Co-Editor-in-Chief Ramin Setoodeh for his book Apprentice in Wonderland, which delves into Trump's time on The Apprentice, Trump let slip a revealing statement. Setoodeh asked about his relationship with Geraldo Rivera, a former Fox News host and contestant on the seventh season of The Apprentice, to which Trump initially responded with a casual "no, I don't think so." But then he quickly corrected himself and said, "He is, uh, after I lost the election." However, he immediately caught himself and revised his answer to "I won the election, but when they said we lost, he called me three or four times."
The audio recording, released by MSNBC, shows Trump admitting his loss in the 2020 election. The anchor on the news channel celebrated this revelation, stating that despite Trump's attempt to backtrack and cover up his admission, the truth had come out. She pointed out his slip of the tongue, where he said, "Called me after I lost...I mean, I won," indicating that he knew he had lost the election. This is not the first time Trump's admission has been brought up. In 2023, according to The New Republic, former Attorney General William Barr claimed that Trump knew he had lost the election. Former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows also made similar statements during his testimony before the House's Jan. 6 Select Committee, followed by former aides Cassidy Hutchinson and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
As the news of Trump's admission spread on social media, many users were not surprised. One user wrote, "We aren't shocked. Trump has to keep the charade going so his CULT members continue to send him money. That's all this is about. THE BIG GRIFT." Another user pointed out the gravity of Trump's lies, stating, "A lie that got people killed, including insurrectionist Ashlii Babbit." Babbit was the woman who was shot by U.S. Capitol Police during the Jan. 6 attack as she tried to enter the Capitol building. The officer who shot her, L.t Michael Byrd, later revealed that he considered it a "last resort" as he believed Babbit posed a threat to members of Congress inside.
However, some of Trump's loyal followers believe that his words have been taken out of context. One user, who identified as a "Jan. 6 survivor," called the news anchor "full of sh*t" and claimed that it was obvious what Trump meant. In one of his indictments, Special Counsel Jack Smith accused Trump of knowingly making false claims of election fraud in an attempt to overturn the results. Despite efforts to remove her from the case, District Attorney Fani Willis from Fulton County, Georgia, is still preparing to try Trump in front of a jury for his alleged interference in the election.
In conclusion, the audio recording of Trump's admission has caused a stir on social media, with some people using it as evidence of his deceit and others defending him. Amidst all the discussions, it is important to remember the gravity of Trump's actions and the consequences they had on the country. The truth may have finally come out, but it doesn't change the damage that was done and the lives that were lost. The upcoming trial will hopefully bring justice and accountability for those involved in the attempted insurrection and the events leading up to it.
