President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday that the Electoral College is a “genius system” — two days after “60 Minutes” aired an interview where called for it to be abolished.

“The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different!” Trump exclaimed on Twitter.

“If the election were based on total popular vote I would have campaigned in N.Y. Florida and California and won even bigger and more easily,” he added.

The tweets appear to be in response to criticism from Hillary Clinton supporters that the Democratic presidential candidate collected more votes, but still lost the election.

In a weekend interview with CBS’ “60 minutes”, Trump said he’s not changing his 2012 position that the Electoral college has to go.

“I’m not going to change my mind just because I won,” Trump said on the show. “But I would rather see it where you went with simple votes. You know, you get 100 million votes and somebody else gets 90 million votes and you win.”

In 2012, when it looked like Mitt Romney might lose the Electoral College but win the popular vote, Trump was beside himself.

“The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy,” he tweeted at the time.

Romney wound up losing both the election and the popular vote.

After Trump secured the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency, it was liberals who were suddenly sounding the “disaster” alarm, circulating a petition calling for the abolition of the system.

Over half a million people have signed the “Abolish the Electoral College” petition.
