Despite efforts by his team to stop him tweeting during his campaign, the President-elect has continued much in the same vein since winning the US election. Shortly after his victory he attacked the New York Times, called protests against him "unfair", and claimed he could have won the popular vote if he wanted to. | Despite efforts by his team to stop him tweeting during his campaign, the President-elect has continued much in the same vein since winning the US election.

Mr Trump's more recent tweets (below) have focused on the popular vote and, in particular, him losing it by more than two million. Although Trump doesn't seem to buy this. Instead, the President-elect has been claiming election fraud, and that the system was rigged against him in states where Hillary Clinton won by a comfortable margin. | |
That's right – Trump won the election and, unless his latest string of erratic tweets is some sort of diversion tactic, he still thinks it was rigged. | |
To support his claims, Trump manually retweeted a 16-year-old with the username "Seth", who wrote "Pathetic - you have no sufficient evidence that Donald Trump did not suffer from voter fraud, shame!". | |
Speaking to Gizmodo, Seth said it felt "incredible" to get such attention from the President-elect, and that if he wasn't so young he would consider a place in his cabinet. | |
