Trump triggered Clinton supporters by saying he won the popular vote after deducting all of the illegal votes that were cast for Hillary. In response to the tweet below are so many falling snowflakes by 'journalists' and celebrities, it's simply too much to delve into.

In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

In what is either Trump's latest trolling of the already neurotic media, or just his conversion to "conspiracy theorism" much to the delight of Russian propaganda, "fake news"-spotting anonymous groups everywhere, moments ago the President-elect tweeted that he would have won the popular vote if "millions of illegal votes" were discounted. 

“In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

President-elect Trump won 306 electoral votes versus Hillary Clinton's 232 (24% less electoral votes).  Similar to 2000, the surrendering party then reversed course and put the nation through a recount, just for the sake of it.  What are the odds that such an exercise here would yield successful for Ms. Clinton?  Based on statistical randomness of re-assessing voter intent, the chance of Hillary emerging as the victor is far less than 10%. 

BASED.

If you thought Trump was going to take it easy on Twitter, after becoming President of the United States, think again. He's been going apeshit on Twitter over the Jill Stein recount scheme and is now trying to trigger Hillary Clinton and her supporters by suggesting he actually won the popular vote (latest data shows Clinton with a 2 million vote lead in the popular vote), when taking into account all of the illegal voters that participated in the elections -- most of which voted for her.
