Former US President Donald Trump quoted the statement of the founder of the USSR Vladimir Lenin and agreed with him.
⠀
The quote, which he decided to mention at a rally of his supporters in Pennsylvania, is also attributed to the head of the Soviet government, Joseph Stalin. However, the opinions of experts differ, some doubt the authenticity of the words.
⠀
“He said, ‘The one who counts the votes is more important than the candidate.’ It seems to be true,” Trump said.
⠀
It is noted that most likely it was a phrase paraphrased by the politician, which initially sounded like: “It does not matter at all who and how will vote in the party; but what is extremely important is who and how will count the votes. The former American leader continues to insist that he failed to run for a second term due to fraud during the tabulation of the 2020 elections, although he was unable to prove this in the courts.
In addition, Trump decided to discuss his preferences in the pronunciation of Lenin’s last name. He said that it should be pronounced with an emphasis on the letter “and”.
⠀
“Words, in my opinion, by Lenin. Has anyone ever heard? Lenin! People usually say with less sophistication: “Lenin”. Lenin! I like it better,” the politician reasoned.
⠀
Earlier, Trump called the incumbent US President Joe Biden an enemy of the state. The reason was Biden’s accusation of extremism against Trump, which he presented not only to him, but also to supporters of his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
