Jimmy Carter Says Trump's Election Was Illegitimate

A doddering old fool who makes Joe B look robust and alert.

It is remotely possible that absent Russian interference the EC shares of the candidates would have been different and Hillary would have got to the White House.

But Russian interference comprised nothing but efforts to influence opinion in ways perfectly legal for Americans whose own rhetoric and views Russian bots imitated.

Not a single phony vote was cast by Russian interferers, nor was a single actual voting machine compromised, nor were vote totals in any district or any state altered.

The votes were all legitimate and the counts none the worse.

The election was valid and Trump, though there against the wishes of most voters, is in the White House in a constitutionally legitimate manner.

JIMMY CARTER: If fully investigated, it would show that Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election and he was put in office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.

JON MEACHAM: So do you believe President Trump is an illegitimate president?"

CARTER: Based on what I just said, which I can't retract. [laughter]
