Kamala won! Trump cheated in 2016, 2020, and 2024. We've heard the tapes, and Putin admitted helping him. DOJ, act now!

This statement is not accurate and reflects an opinion rather than factual evidence. Claims that Trump cheated in 2016, 2020, and 2024 lack substantiated proof, and if he had cheated in 2020, he would not have lost that election. Additionally, Kamala Harris did not secure enough votes to win the 2024 presidential election, as certified results show.

This is not a true statement and is based on an opinion from someone on the social media platform 'X'. They seem to be left-leaning, but their own claim contradicts their message. If Trump cheated in 2020, he would not have lost. Harris did not receive enough votes to win the 2024 election. This resource shows how many votes each candidate received and from which states.

I appreciate your correction here. The post contradicts itself by including the 2020 election in its claim, so your insight and inclusion of credible sourcing is valuable.

The claim that "Kamala won" the election is false, and the assertion that Trump "cheated" in 2016, 2020, and 2024 is not supported by credible evidence or legal findings, as investigations into election fraud in those years have not uncovered widespread misconduct that would have altered the outcomes. While there have been discussions about foreign interference (particularly from Russia in 2016 via Facebook), no conclusive evidence has emerged to suggest that Trump's victories were the result of cheating, and allegations of election fraud in 2020 and 2024 have been repeatedly debunked or dismissed in courts. Additionally, this is a misleading claim and cannot be true as Vice President Harris conceded the election the next day, as covered by the Associated Press, and called Mr. Trump saying that “they will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.”

For starters, the claim, "Kamala won! Trump cheated in 2016, 2020, and 2024. We've heard the tapes, and Putin admitted helping him. DOJ, act now", is 100% false. We fully understand the context by digging deeper and reading the full claim via Blue Sky. From the UPPERCASE letters to the exclamation point, this individual appears upset. They start by mentioning how Trump rigged the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections and Kamala should have won. According to the Mueller report in 2016, while there was Russian interference, there wasn't concrete evidence to back this up. Putin's support for Trump was also misinterpreted. Sure, he said he preferred Trump to be elected, but he never "admitted" to helping him. As for the 2020 elections, PBS fact-checked the "rigged" claims, and here's what they had to say, "Across the country, Trump and his allies lost more than 60 lawsuits challenging the 2020 election outcome." As of right now, we don't have any information certifying the claim. The claim then goes on a tangent and mentions Trump's threats to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Although these calls were already analyzed and deemed as allegations, this has zero correlation to Kamala winning and Trump cheating. Lastly, they mention his criminal record. While the 34 felonies and counting are still active, these charges are unrelated to claims of election interference in 2016, 2020, or 2024.

The first claim that Kamala Harris won the 2024 Presidential election is blatantly false, on both legal and objective grounds. Trump won in 2016 via the electoral college and also won in 2024 with popular vote and electoral college. The claim that Kamala won is blatant misinformation and a obvious attempt to arouse clicks and push engagement. These results are certified and trump has been inaugurated into the White House. The second claim is also false. There is no proof nor substantial evidence supporting the claim that Trump cheated in 2016, 2020, or 2024. This claim is a clear attempt to grab attention and capitalize off obvious false information.

This claim that is posted is not factual and displays only points that are opinionated and have no evidence backing them whatsoever. With this being posted on Bigsky, anyone can post anything they want on the platform. Being a social media platform, users are able to share their thoughts, or political views and bashes in this case, freely and without any fact checking. No other link to a website or actual stats and examples are used, which shows how fake of a claim this truly is.

The claim that Kamala won the most recent president election, and the claim that Trump cheated in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and Putin being involved is false. This claim comes from a post on Blue Sky from a likely left leading individual who is very vocal about their opinions. Clicking on the linked post and reading the whole thing will show you clearly that this individual has a deep bias present in this claim. Looking past the clear bias present in the original post we can find very clear and obvious evidence from numerous mainstream sources such as CNN and the Associated Press that clearly state that Trump won the most recent election. Looking for reputable sources with valid evidence of Trump cheating in the past 3 presidential elections resulted in nothing being found as well which further solidifies this claim as being false.

While this is an opinion and should be treated as such, it just tips on being verge of false because of the statement at the end. Based on my research, Donald Trump's 2024 win was legitimate with results being posted and even winning the popular vote by a large margin. The original post was simply an opinion/call to action most likely due to confirmation bias in which they provide no sources or evidence for their claims. This was not done for clicks, but rather, a passion post for the other political side of the spectrum on the loss of the race, a passionate opinion at best. However, I did come across an interesting source that discredits and fact-checks Trump's claims that the 2020 election was rigged based on PBS. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/fact-check-trumps-2024-win-doesnt-prove-claims-that-the-2020-election-was-stolen It is interesting to see this topic come up once again but this time, the president is the one who is getting fact-checked and even though is being labeled through PBS as false, it is still his opinion just like this ladies opinion spread online. https://nypost.com/2024/11/06/us-news/donald-trump-wins-2024-presidential-election-defying-the-odds-again/?utm_source=chatgpt.com
