During a campaign event in Ohio on Monday Donald Trump suggested that the U.S. presidential election is rigged.

At a town hall in Columbus, Ohio, Trump said “I’m afraid the election is going be rigged, I have to be honest”

“Poor Bernie. He looks so upset. You know what, he shouldn’t have made a deal,” Trump said, referring to Sanders’ endorsement of Clinton. “I think my side was rigged if I didn’t win by massive landslides.”

Trump’s past claims about the Democratic primary were based on leaked Democratic National Committee emails that suggested party officials opposed Sanders’ continued campaign in the late stages of the primary.
