Trump stupefies with interview reply: 'Everyone in that room should've died from laughter'

By Travis Gettys
Published February 5, 2026 9:05 AM ET

President Donald Trump drew incredulous jeers with his response to a question about a potential Republican loss in this fall's midterm elections.

"NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Llamas scored a sit-down interview with the 79-year-old president, and he asked if he would trust the results if the GOP lost their congressional majorities in November, and Trump demurred.

"I will, if the elections are honest," Trump told him. "Look, I'm the last one that wants to complain."

"I will, if the elections are honest," Trump told him. "Look, I'm the last one that wants to complain."

And he does it with a straight face......really, he does it with a straight face, see believe me ........"Look, I'm the last one that wants to complain.".........

Are they all naive enough to hope for a gotcha moment with this master of mendacity?

Not gonna happen.

…from the moment he rode down that damn escalator.

Rather symbolic, wasn’t it - riding down. That’s precisely what he’s done, taken our country down.

How a friend few days ago said he was most honest person he knew.

Kind of blows your mind he says things like this with straight face but he knows if he tells a lie enough times many will believe it, it’s what he was taught.

life is based on complaining and going after those people or organizations he feels have wronged, or disrespected him. That’s all he does is complain!

Where he goes from answering a question about Alex Pretti's ability to have a gun and then starts to ramble about boats and water that made zero sense in or out of context

But:

"Everyone in that room should have actually died from laughter at his statement that he's the last one who wants to complain," said author Wendy Sparrow.


Thing is, Wendy Sparrow, Author: ITS NOT FUNNY. THIS ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE.

The lying is both pathological and a technique. Does he believe it? Does he know he's lying? Is he lying just to create content about his lying?
