> President Elect Trump … predicated his unconditional acceptance of the results on his victory.
While I am no fan of the man, and have no doubt that he would fiercely have contested a loss, I don't think that it is quite as you have described it. What I remember is that he said that he would "keep you in suspense", and that he would accept the election results "if he was satisfied", never explicitly that he would only accept a victory for himself.
- GeorgeDewar 10y agoA very strange thing to write as my first post, but in one of the debates Trump did indeed say he would respect the results "if I win" [1]. I think the "I'll look at it on the day" comments came a bit later.

- Freestyler_3 10y agoTaken out of context thats easy to conclude, but putten in context then it remains unclear. Because even then he said, that he is not going to say that he wil accept a loss, no matter what happened.
