Trump makes excuses for failures

So the Donald says that if he loses, then the election was rigged. Sounds like he’s had some practice in making excuses from a very young age. I can hear it now. If he didn’t make the sports team, it’s because the coach didn’t like him and the try-outs were unfair. If he got a low score an exam, it’s the fault of the teacher or the test was poorly written.

His failures were never because he was ill-prepared or incompetent. What a guy.
