Even as he tried to boast about his supposed “fine-tuned machine” of an administration, the overwhelming defeat that Clinton dealt Trump in the popular vote clearly continues to plague Trump, nearly one month into his time in office.

There are many Americans who do not see Trump’s presidency as legitimate, and his performance here seems to indicate that he may be one of them.
