Mediaite reports President Donald Trump could not stop raging about his 2020 election defeat on Fox News, even while thumping his chest over his attack and kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife Saturday morning.

Trump announced on Truth Social that Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were captured and flown to the United States at 4:21 a.m. Saturday. Later, Trump called in to the Saturday edition of Fox & Friends Saturday for a long interview, during which the president revived the bogus claim that the 2020 election was “rigged.”

The baloney rolled fast after host Griff Jenkins asked Trump if he would support Maduro’s opposition party leader Maria Corina Machado, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts in pressuring the incumbent dictator.

“Well, we’re going to have to look at it right now. They have a vice president, as you know, I mean, I don’t know about what kind of an election that was. But you know the election of Maduro was a disgrace, just like my election was a disgrace — 2020 was a disgrace! And, you know, a real disgrace!”

Trump went on to claim Maduro’s rigged election “wasn’t a hell of a lot worse than what they did to us in 2020,” despite show company owner Fox paying a $787.5 million settlement to Dominion Voting Systems for spreading the same lie.

“It was our election was a disgrace in 2020 and everyone knows it. And now it’s come out and it’s come up even in the legal forum,” Trump continued. “But it was disgraceful. He had an election — there was a rigged election and the people have no love for him. That’s for sure. He had very little loyalty, if any loyalty. He was a dictator, who was a tough cookie, and he ran it tough, and the people can’t believe they got so lucky.”

Former President Biden’s defeat of Trump has been confirmed repeatedly by state officials from Trump’s own party and dozens of court decisions.
