Nevertheless, Carter still has his own ideas about the Trump presidency. His statements about this matter read as follows:
“I think that the interference, though not yet quantified, 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.”
When directly asked about whether he believes Trump’s 2016 victory lacks legitimacy, Carter answered with the following remarks:
“Based on what I just said, which I can’t retract, I would say yes.”
In previous times, Carter suggested that the press is “harder” on President Trump than other presidents before him.
Assertions of Russia Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election
Carter is a member of the Democrat Party; like many members of his party, the results of the Russia investigation have apparently failed to change his mind about supposed Russian interference.
Trump supporters and conservatives across the nation have responded to assertions that the president’s win lacks legitimacy. Many on the right-wing maintain that such assertions are merely sour grapes over Democrats’ failure to retain control of the White House.
