I respected many others that said the election was rigged.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>RINO has become one of Trump&#8217;s biggest attacks for his Republican critics. He says those he hired who turned out to be RINOs are turncoats.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is running to retake his spot in the Oval Office after failing to win a consecutive second term when he lost to Biden in 2020. The ex-President is polling far beyond the rest of the GOP presidential field.<\/p>\n<p>Welker pressed at one point: &#8216;Are you acknowledging you didn&#8217;t win?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m not acknowledging,&#8217; Trump said. &#8216;No. I say I won the election.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Trump is facing a series of legal battles and has been indicted four times this year. Two cases involve his attempts to overturn the 2020 election while a third is related to his retention of classified documents after leaving the White House.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/16\/75529461-12528565-image-a-2_1694964730355.jpg\" height=\"357\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Trump sat down with NBC News host Kristen Welker for a wide-ranging interview that aired on Meet the Press Sunday morning<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/16\/75530469-12528565-image-a-15_1694965456848.jpg\" height=\"615\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Trump has been indicted four times in the last year \u2013 twice in cases involving his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.\u00a0 His stunning revelations on Sunday morning could impact the cases against him<\/p>\n<p>In his NBC interview, Trump took responsibility for the decision to try to overturn the 2020 results.<\/p>\n<p>But he said his legal woes don&#8217;t have him concerned with actually ending up behind bars.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I don&#8217;t even think about it,&#8217; the four-times indicted ex-President said when Welker asked if he is kept up at night with thoughts of going to prison.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m built a little differently I guess, because I have had people come up to me and say, &#8216;How do you do it, sir?
