Not surprisingly, you two are completely full of shit.
I keep telling you that you are totally ignorant, and have no idea what's going on, because you're only allowed to know what your Democrat Party masters let you know.
Once again: You are totally ignorant.

Hillary Clinton: Trump is an ‘illegitimate president’
September 26, 2019 at 9:03 p.m. UTC
Hillary Clinton dismissed President Trump as an “illegitimate president” and suggested that “he knows” that he stole the 2016 presidential election in a CBS News interview to be aired Sunday. ...
Clinton was asked whether it angers her that none of the current Democratic candidates invoke her on the campaign trail while Trump’s rally crowds still break out into “lock her up” chants.
“No, it doesn’t kill me because he knows he’s an illegitimate president,” she said. “I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used, from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories — he knows that — there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did.” ...
In June, former president Jimmy Carter used similar language to diminish Trump’s presidency. Carter said that in his view Trump lost the 2016 election and was put in office by the Russians. Asked if he considered Trump to be illegitimate, Carter said, “Based on what I just said, which I can’t retract.”
Of the two, I'm more prone to take Carter seriously, but let's examine the time frame: right in the middle of the first impeachment. A lot was said then, and some may prove true when the historians get a more thorough look. Until then, Trump gets 2016 in much the same way that GWB got 2000, but please don't tell me that he was as pure as driven snow. There are just too many first-hand accounts of his misbehavior, with Ukraine legitimately impeachable and several other actions certainly illegal. He didn't bring down the ire of 1,000 former prosecutors from both parties because of his saintly acts.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
