As Jill Stein's recount scam surged to over $6 million in donations on Sunday afternoon, Tweeter-in-Chief Donald Trump himself finally weighed in on the propriety of the proposed undertakings in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This may shock you, but his takes on the subject were not particularly coherent. First, in the grand presidential tradition of Lincoln and Reagan, he unleashed this tweetstorm:

Of course, Trump omits from this narrative the fact that Clinton's comment came after his very public refusal to commit to accepting the election results as legitimate, and his after-the-fact characterization of this position as a "delay" is disingenuous at best. Still, his message on Sunday afternoon was clear: The election results are what they are, and further challenges would be wasteful, hypocritical, and counterproductive. But then:

Huh. So Trump opposes the recount, but...he also believes that he was illegally deprived of millions of votes?

Remember, there is absolutely zero evidence that any of the "voter fraud" conspiracy theories to which Donald Trump has long subscribed are true, and even the famously gotta-hear-both-sides CNN used words like "falsely," "without evidence," and "unprecedented" when describing these allegations. However, when both the president-elect of the United States and his staunchest ideological opponents agree that the election results are tainted by widespread fraud, perhaps a recount is appropriate after all! Man, it really warms the heart to see such courageous, bipartisan cooperation on the all-important subject of election integrity. No word yet on how much Trump himself plans to donate to the recount effort, but I'm sure that check will arrive any minute.
