“You know, I thought a lot about it. We defeated, abused, and badly beaten him. There was nothing nice about what they (Democrats) were doing. They were saying we want you out of the race, you are gonna loose. We will put somebody else then -how about that? It's like a price fighter,” Trump said.

Trump added, “He (Joe Biden) is losing badly, ready to be knocked out, and they say put somebody else. It doesn't work that way. It is not supposed to work that way. This really was a coup by the Democrats and nothing else.”
