Here's a look at the common theories that make up Trump's baseless case for widespread fraud and corruption in the election.

Washington In the month since the election, President Donald Trump has grasped for seemingly any theory to explain why he lost to Joe Biden, no matter how outlandish -- dead people voted, poll watchers were illegally removed, foreign countries influenced the tabulation of the votes! Yet as his explanations have changed, they remain consistently untrue.

Over the course of the four weeks following the election, Trump sent around 500 tweets, 171 of which were flagged by Twitter for containing false or misleading information about the election. Despite repeated denials of any wrongdoing from federal and state officials, there's evidence Trump's onslaught is having an effect. A recent Pew survey found only 35% of Trump voters say they are"very confident" their vote was counted accurately, much lower than the 82% of Biden voters.

He copied Chavez’s strategies. Or fir worst, Hitler’s ones. Lie! Lie! Lie! If it’s not true, seeding the doubt will be enough to confuse. What a shame of wasting resources when people are in need fighting pandemic!

Please watch. This tells me that elections can easily be rigged.

You are using the word baseless yourselves un-yet there is major evidence that at the very least needs major investigation and testimony and not just a comment to 'de-bunk'. Anyway, keep it up , even many of your most hardcore supporters are seeing through this one.

I’ve seen too many eye witness testimonies now to be comfortable using the word baseless. Americans are speaking up about what they saw and experienced election night

Why is the media still acting as Trump’s Press Secretary pushing out his press releases? Facts are stubborn things. They remain constant regardless of this cabal’s frenzied assault against them. He lost. Decisively. Nothing can rewind that.

Fake news from the network that made it famous. CNN still sucks.

Trump is profiting big way from his defeat in the elections, now the suckers who are sending him money are the new losers.

Possible ballot stuffing caught on video please watch

Biden got more votes than any other candidate in history? What an election scam

🧐

Biden admits he committed voter fraud.

'a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing'?

How about 5,000 signed affidavits?

I guess you missed all the testimony, ballots dumped and video evidence- real facts matter

is baseless

Hahahaha OK Fact Checking & CNN are oxymoron

300% voter turnout.

Flushed him on November 3rd. But he's still swirling around in the toilet like a turd!

I didn´t know that there are so many gullible people in the United States. It must be due to all the 'nofat', 'low fat' and cholesterol lowering drugs, and sweetener. Their brains are depressed. It must be these who vote for Donnie right?

Only thing baseless is CNN.
