The actual story here is that the Trump administration has quickly learned to mimic how Democrats do things. Rather then blaming anyone critical (who actual pushed to get this info) they found some no-name lower level unneeded chump to blame it on. And trust me the Trump Adminstration after they are installed will get the list of names. They will fire the contractors and demote the climate alarmist federal employees into jobs where they will count paperclips. This day cannot come soon enough.
Dreamer. They will once again promote whatever they want as soon as they think they can get away with it.
I think, given the choice between whether to have won the popular vote, or won the election, Trump and team would stick with what they have. Granted, I'm just guessing at this point.
What really sucks is that since Trump lost the popular vote, he will get to fill Supreme Court justice vacancies for the next four years.
Drumpf wants both, and to be recognized for his "landslide" electoral college win, but of the three he gets only one. Because of people who count votes, and fact checkers.
