Former President Donald Trump addressed the nation in a CNN town hall on Wednesday. The event started with Trump refusing to admit a loss in the 2020 election.
"We did fantastically," he said of his previous administration and the 2020 election. "When you look at that result, and you look at what happened during that election, unless you're a very stupid person, you see what happened."
"It was a rigged election, and it's a shame we had to go through that. It's very bad for our country," Trump continued.
Trump appeared from St. Anselm College in New Hampshire for a town hall with CNN. The moderator for the event was CNN This Morning anchor Kaitlan Collins, whom the former president has sparred with in the past.
