In the build-up to the California gubernatorial election, Donald Trump<\/a> has issued an outlandish remark about the Republican Party\u2019s<\/a> chances. While speaking to reporters at a recent conference, the 79-year-old politician boldly claimed that he would\u2019ve easily secured victory in the deep-blue state if Jesus had been counting the votes.<\/p>\n

On May 20, while on his way to the US Coast Guard Academy to deliver the keynote speech, the POTUS took a pit stop at Joint Base Andrews to talk to journalists. During the conversation, he blatantly described the California elections as rigged.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have a rigged vote out there, that\u2019s the problem. The votes are rigged. You have a really rigged vote in California. You have all the mail-in ballots, everything else. Very hard to win because the\u00a0elections\u00a0are very dishonest,\u201d Donald Trump told media personnel, as per The Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump then provided a bizarre solution to his problem, noting, \u201cIf we had Jesus Christ come down and count the votes, I would have won\u00a0California, because I do great with Hispanics. But it\u2019s a rigged vote. They sent out 38 million votes. Nobody knows where they\u2019re going. Of course, the Democrats do, I guess. But, disproportionately, Democrats get many more votes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Republican leader also said that he has a list of all the \u201cdishonest states\u201d in the US and that California is right there at its summit. \u201cIt\u2019s a rigged system. One of the most, not the worst. I\u2019ll give you a list. Maybe I\u2019ll do my list. But it\u2019s California, one of the most dishonest states,\u201d he exclaimed.<\/p>\n

Notably, Donald Trump has opposed mail-in voting for a long time now. He even issued an executive order<\/a> to restrict the activity, instructing Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to bring him a list of verified US citizens eligible to vote.<\/p>\n
