Trump on Alabama: 'I was right' Moore wouldn't be able to win

CNN)President Donald Trump went back to Twitter Wednesday morning following Alabama's election stunner, claiming that he didn't endorse Republican candidate Roy Moore in the primary election because Trump knew Moore wouldn't be "able to win."

"The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!" Trump tweeted early Wednesday morning.

Trump heavily endorsed Strange during the Alabama primary, traveling to the state to campaign alongside him, something Trump never technically did for Moore in the state of Alabama, Instead, Trump held a campaign-style rally in Florida, just over the border and still in the Alabama media market. In the days following the primary in September, multiple tweets in support of Strange were deleted from Trump's Twitter account after his loss.

While the election results came in Tuesday night, Trump tweeted a somewhat conciliatory message, congratulating Democrat Doug Jones on winning "a hard fought victory."

1. Of course....Trump always thinks he is right.....

[brush]

29. He backed a loser in the primary and backed the loser in the general.

He's just trying to cover his orange ass instead of facing the fact that his backing is toxic.

2. You mean you already knew Moore was a pedophile, and so would narrowly loose, Don?

Well, it just goes to show what a shit you are - knowing a candidate is a child molester but not telling anyone, and then supporting him after those you kept in the dark have chosen him as your party candidate.

30. all about trump

trump is so thin skinned that he has to make moores loss about trump REALLY NOT SUPPORTING MOORE so trump is not to blame...this is weird on so many levels

[Scarsdale]

3. Two faced sob

Both faces are UGLY.

[Achilleaze]

4. Translation: "I'm a republican loser-liar"

sad.

[forgotmylogin]

33. Trump or False

[Rollo]

36. Splendid!

[Botany]

5. He is nutz

This was a repudiation of D. Trump.

He makes this loss as something that good. Trump just held a campaign rally
for Moore last weekend and then Moore lost in the state that Trump won by
20 + points.

[Iliyah]

6. What a shell of the human being

STFU

[Corgigal]

7. Ha ha

He's a laughing stock now, but too far up his own ass to see that the majority SEE you. He playing a shady tv character for a show, not President of the U.S.

We don't believe anything you say.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Here are my concerns:

1) Moore refuses to concede, and

2) Trump's earlier Tweet cites the "write-in votes" as the reason why Jones won.

Keep vigilant when there's a recount in Alabama. Trump just told you how the Republicans will "fix" the election results.

[William Seger]

12. I think he meant write-ins instead of Moore votes

... as Senator Shelby recommended. No recount can change those to Moore votes -- they're irrelevant now, except that Moore didn't get them.

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Trump is never responsible for anything

Always blame anyone but himself

[BigmanPigman]

19. Classic Malignant Narcissist behavior. He is insane.

[Vinca]

10. Don can't accept the fact he's a loser.

[djacq]

11. So Trump intentionally endorsed 2 losers

It’s like when Pee Wee Herman fell on his bike and told others who saw it, “I meant to do that”.

[Boomer]

13. Typical narcissistic response

This was utterly predictable. Narcissists don't lose. Ever. They are right, because they're always right, or something was rigged. Or both.

[7962]

14. Exactly what I said he'd do earlier this morning. Although he IS right.

Had they voted for Strange, this wouldn't have been a race at all. But Good 'ol roy was a good 'ol boy!!!!!!

[madaboutharry]

15. He is a very small man.

He can't own his own words.

[Kablooie]

16. This man smells like Liquid Ass

[hamsterjill]

17. That man is one sick puppy.

Good gracious! How DOES that ego ever fit through the door to the White House!!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

18. He endorsed the guy who lost the primary

and then endorsed the other guy who lost the general.

Lots of "winning" there!!111!!!!!111

[FakeNoose]

38. He's the whiner in chief

[BumRushDaShow]

39. Truth!

[riversedge]

20. Holly MOLLY. Trump is utterly NUTS!

[Bengus81]

21. Nice SPIN Donnie!! You never endorsed Moore,your endorsement was Luther Strange all along........

And hell,I just saw the sun rising out of the west a few minutes ago. Black is white.....

[bdamomma]

22. What a freaking liar

just another lie to add to all the other lies, tRump was lying in the same bed as Moore, just an expression. He wholeheartedly wanted him to win.

[Javaman]

23. the memory hole pResident. nt

[Rollo]

24. Donald Trump would throw Jesus under the bus....

... if he thought it would make himself look better ...

[beastie boy]

26. He just did.

After preaching about Jesus deciding the outcome of the election, he is not no for an answer from him. He wants a recount.

[beastie boy]

25. He endorsed Strange. He endorsed Moore. He knew at least one of them will lose.

Turns out he was right both times!

C'mon, folks, give the man some credit for being right about losers!

[Turbineguy]

27. Pathetic.

He needs to be in a care facility, where they will take good care of him. Spoon feed him gruel and make sure he doesn't get any on his tie.

[left-of-center2012]

28. Who uses the word "mightily"?

"The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily)"

[Brother Buzz]

34. The orange anus had a red letter day....

he was finally able to use a word in a sentence from his Word-A-Day Calendar

[Rustyeye77]

31. What a f***** liar.

[Bayard]

32. Nanner nanner naaaaner!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

35. Moore ... Moore .... Didn't he bring coffee to one of our meetings? NT

[wolfie001]

37. Another clue to his autism

Keep the nuclear football away from this stupid m*f*er.
