Trump: I Didn’t Call Bill Clinton, He Called Me by Samkoyeh2(m): 4:29pm On Dec 21, 2016 |
Donald Trump wants the world to know that it
was former President Bill Clinton who called
him on the day after the election and not the
other way around.
Clinton told the editor of a small weekly
newspaper in New York’s Westchester County
earlier this month that he had received a call
from Trump after the election and that the
president-elect had been strangely cordial,
“like it was 15 years ago,” when the Clintons
used to socialize with Trump.
But Trump took issue with that version of
events, writing on Twitter on Tuesday morning
that “Bill Clinton stated that I called him after
the election. Wrong, he called me (with a very
nice congratulations).” Tuesday afternoon,
Clinton confirmed via Twitter that it had
indeed been him who initiated the phone call
with Trump on the day after the election.
In his impromptu interview with the weekly
newspaper, Clinton said Trump “doesn’t know
much” but that “one thing he does know is
how to get angry, white men to vote for him.”
The president-elect shot back Tuesday
morning at Clinton, borrowing the former
president’s own language to write on Twitter
that “He ‘doesn’t know much,’ especially how
to get people, even with an unlimited budget,
out to vote in the vital swing states (and
more). They focused on wrong states.”
Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.), an early endorser
of Trump and his transition team’s
congressional liaison, said Clinton had invited
the president-elect’s criticism upon himself by
once again raising the issue of Hillary
Clinton’s popular-vote victory.
Trump received 304 Electoral College votes,
well above the 270 he needed to clinch a
victory. Clinton received 227.

“Just yesterday, Bill Clinton, as he
was casting his Electoral College
vote for his wife, went out again
and said, ‘Let’s remember Hillary
Clinton won the popular vote.’ So
Bill Clinton continues to be one of
those people who just doesn’t want
to let go, wants to refer to Donald
Trump as the Electoral College
president,” Collins said on CNN’s
“New Day” Tuesday morning. “So,
you know, I thought that was totally
inappropriate by former President
Clinton to again kind of gin up the
Democrats that to claim Donald
Trump is not the legitimate
president-elect of the United States.” http://url2it.com/emllhf 1 Share
