Trump makes startling admission about his 'big ego' at National Prayer Breakfast [View all]

President Donald Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday that he needed to win a second term because he was still burning with resentment over not getting one in 2020 — bragging about his "big ego" while continuing to push conspiracy theories about his prior election loss.

"They rigged the second election," said Trump. "I had to win it. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible, what a great feeling. Winning every swing state. Winning the popular vote. The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did."

He then went on to complain about how many articles would qualify his 2016 win with, "While Donald Trump did not win the popular vote..." which is indeed a factual statement.
