In an interview with ABC News' David Muir that aired on Wednesday night, President Donald Trump defended his debunked claims that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election and attacked the author of a study who found that there is not widespread voter fraud in the United States.

"Really? Then why did he write the report?" Trump asked, later accusing the study's author of "groveling again."

Something where dRumpf flails his arms around, makes stupid faces, does a stupid (er) voice impersonation, etc., would excite his fan base, no doubt.
