. >> trump has shared tweets from supporters who are hitting our senior washington jeff zel zells tweetaying he's pathetic. i it's pathetic! yeah! seriously, congrats to that keen teenage boy, just been named secretary of statement fantastic. and this whole thing with trump leads me to a question. have you ever argued with a toddler? if you have, you've probably lost that argument or killed a toddler. either way, you didn't win the argument because you can't win an argument against a toddler. toddlers will say the most odd landish (bleep) and the more you argue, the more enstretched they are in their views. a toddler will say anything, like my daddy is the strongest man in the world! no he's not. yeah, he is! no he's not. yeah, he is. prove it! you're, like, i can't prove it. he's, like, i told you! ( laughter ) the reason i'm saying this is over the course of the election season, we've come to realize there is a good chance that president-elect trump might have the mind of a toddler. ( laughter ) if you think about it, it makes sense. he loves the same things toddlers do. they like bui

as for donald trump's tweets, i mean, look, there is a very serious and robust debate taking place amongut how much do we cover these tweets, how much are these tweets meant to be a distraction from perhaps more pressing issues about donald trump, about various policy proposals or decisions he might make as commander in chief. look, what i would say is, you know, there are a lot of people in the media. the media's 24 hours a day, seven days a week. there's room for both. i think you have to focus on what donald trump says. i think it would be a mistake not to. just like we have to focus on everything president obama says, even if he says it in an interview as opposed to through his twitter account. but we can't let up on focusing on the issues that donald trump doesn't want to talk about. that is the role of the press. to make sure we prioritize the issues that are important as we see them and as the american people see them. >> so maria, maybe trump sends out these tweets just to make people like you really angry. >> actually, it makes people like me and others who didn't vote for trump

another trump tweet unleashing criticism and concern. update our viewers. >> reporter: election officials are calling trump's claims of illegally cast votes as absurd, reckless and unbecoming of a president-elect. that is just from california's secretary of state. we have republican and democr democratic members who believe that trump is making a mockery of an election that he won. donald trump is spreading claims about the election he won, the president-elect tweeting, in addition to winning the electoral college in a landslide, i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. trump, who now trails hillary clinton by more than 2 million votes in the latest national count, offering no evidence to back up his statement about millions of illegal ballots. >> unbelievable. >> reporter: echoing themes from his campaign. >> it is a rigged system, and be careful with the voting. be careful with everything. >> reporter: trump is raising unfounded allegations of voter fraud in three states he lost, tweeting, serious

trump tweeted about the topic 12 different times. more than he tweeted about any topic since being elected president. he even suggested at one point that he may have won the popular vote if votes cast illegally were not included. the clinton campaign is joined in on the effort. they say they don't find any evidence that anything wrong happened with the vote, but they want to rule in or rule out that possibility. trump has a busy monday planned at trump tower. eight different people will come to meet with him and the vice president-elect mike pence. among them david clarke. he is considered for secretary of homeland security. and kathleen white could be the next epa secretary. she was once the texas commissioner on environment quality. donald trump has a number of decisions to make. including the next secretary of state. >> ryan, thank you very much. let's bring in eugene scott. he must make sense of all of this for us. donald trump going after the popular vote here. this is a country divided. is there any upside to him doing this? >>

did president elect trump respondent to your tweet, jeff? >> no anderson, mr. ump did not respond to that tweet but thousands of his followers did. and they believe him when he says that there was a lot of voter fraud that happened in the election. but, you know, this is not about us. this is about looking for this evidence of wide spread voter fraud. and we're talking wide spread. he said millions of people voted illegally. if not for them he would have won the popular vote and it seems to me that is what this is all about here. sort of day by day the popular vote, the tally is increasing slightly. hillary clinton is up by just over 2 million. and that is agitating, i'm told by people who have spoken to transition officials and the president elect. and that is one of the things behind this. but i think it gets to a larger point as well. the pattern is interesting. we've seen a pattern throughout mr. trump's successful campaign. he tries to demonize and distract. and this is one of the latest things here. but so far he or his aides have not provided any evidence

we should tell you that president-elect donald trump sent a flurry of tweets yesterday attacking hillary clinton for supporting recounts in those three states. while doing so trump suggested widespread voter fraud actually took place. the claims have no evidence behind them. yesterday the president elect tweeting there was se hampshire and california. voting officials in the states saying it was not the case. donald trump later tweeted -- i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. a claim no credible election officials or politician has supported. >> i think it's comical. >> reporter: for voters like erin and jaime the tweets are not surprising. >> it bothers me some of his tweets that he would say that. absolutely. >> reporter: one possible source of trump's claim -- a web site called info wars.

trump tweeted no proof to back up his claims. california's secretary of state called the allegations of voter fraud absurd. trump's latest tweetstorm comes as there is more attention on his global business interests. >> what are all these conflicts of interest? i think that's the thing that's going to follow him through this entire presidency. kenneth: there's also transition turmoil over possible secretary of state contender mitt romney. >> he went out of his way to hurt donald trump. i don't think a cost of admission for party unity has to be the secretary of state position. kenneth: says he will have a second meeting with romney tomorrow and will meet with former cia director david petraeus. kenneth moton, abc news, washington. sean: the new hampshire secretary of state's office says there's no indication of widespread voter fraud in the granite state. and if the president-elect has any proof that there was, officials are urging him to present it. wmur's mike cronin is live with more. mike: though donald trump won the election

trump tweeting millions voted. not sure is he going to be able to back that up.s your feeling? >> well, of course is he not going to be able to back it up. and, you know, it's like jill stein saying in wisconsin and michigan there could have been fraud, there could have been systematic cyber attack there could have been some kind of russia than begans in this election and therefore let's do a recount. there could be a lot of things. that doesn't make them true. i mean, it could be that there are aliens circling the earth and on election day they and they are invincible, of course they train their ray guns on the ballot boxes on several states. as a result. 3 million g.o.p. votes disappeared. anything could be. >> the alien ray gun thick we are not going to buy. >> tell me why he? they are invincible. >> i give information that's accurate. i took a hard look at this california thing today and my staff. if you wanted to, you can get a license if you are not in this license legally and you can game that system in both. not that hard to do it. there is nobody checkin

or trump is out there tweeting about a voter fraud to distract deliberately from his other story. very rarely is there a larger architecture to the kind of decisions that are getting made. if it seems that trump's team is at war with itself and taking strongly held preferences public and acceptance of the boss, but not necessarily on his instructions. that's probably what we're dealing with. kellyanne is somebody who are for a long time represented the conservative, more conservative, more activist wing of the republican party and i think you could very easily imagine a scenario where jeb bush were elected president and he is thinking about when mitt romney secretary of state and kellyanne was out on television saying this is a terrible idea and an insult to the party's base. >> however, if you want to believe that they want to rub mitt romney's nose in it. if you listen to kellyanne's comments about the speech he gave in utah and how he was wrong about donald trump's intellect and integrity and on and on this was a great way to go on television and basically stick their finger in

this is a trump tweet from just yesterday. quote, in addition to winning the electoral college in a landslide, he tweets, i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. but here's the thing. there is absolutely no evidence to back up what he's claiming, that he won the popular vote. so, where is trump getting this from at all? let's go to dylan byers, it's totally false. where is he getting this? >> the claim is totally false. how often do you have the guy who won the election alleging fraud in the campaign he won. where he's getting it is something that bubbled up through conspiracy theory sites. started with greg phillips, has about 26,000 twitter followers. he tweeted something out alleging there had been 3 million illegal votes that might have tipped the scales in favorite of hillary clinton days after the election. this got picked up and sort of passed around. it wound up at infowars.com, which is, of course, the website belonging to alex jones, who has a litany of conspiracy theories he

i will say this about the donald trump tweets. t ray good tweet in the middle of the night when he sent that out. but at least the second tweet he did send out was to say, listen, we're all going to come together. so clearly somebody got to him and said you need to help quell this down a little. >> okay so clearly someone got to him. who, who was that person? you know -- >> we don't know. we know that this follows a pattern in the campaign. what's different now is that the megaphone that donald trump has has gotten much, much bigger. and has much more power to reverberate than it did even when he became the republican nominee for president. and i think this is something that president-elects learn, the kind of consequences that their words can have, including unintended consequences. we're at a point where everybody in america, and around the world are looking for signals about what kind of president donald trump will be. and we have less information about that than we do about most people who get elected president, because this ca

out -- the first tweet was i settled the trump university lawsuit for a small fractione award because as president i have to focus on our country, and then minutes later he got back on social media and tweeted the only bad thing about winning the presidency is that i did not have the time to go through a long but winning trial on trump university. too bad. as we know very well, donald trump does not like to lose, as evidenced by that last tweet there. betty? >> all right, a lot of people will be read into all of this, and thank you for that. >>> more on transition plans now, and let's bring in our former diplomacy national press secretary for mitt romney in 2012. what was the reaction from the romney camp when the invite came from the trump side? >> i think we were all surprised. romney did reach out to trump after he won to congratulate him, and my understand something the trump team followed up on that call with a request for a meeting. don't know what is going to come or what will be said, but it's encouraging for trump to reach out and speak to other people and not

put some smarts in your car. >>> president-elect donald trump tweeting this weekend about the outcomeection. he has a peculiar conclusion. mr. trump falsely claims that millions of people voted illegally, costing him the popular vote. there is no evidence of that. let's discuss with cnn's political commentator and vice chair of the new york state democratic party christine quinn, new york city councilman joseph verlely and cnn political commentator ana navarro. nice to see all of you. joe, what are we supposed to make of the president-elect falling for false news reports, and fake tweets from random people? >> well, i don't know if he's falling for fake tweets from random news stories. the one thing that's been consistent is that the republican party has said that there is voter fraud, at times in this country -- >> millions of people -- >> no, no. how much, how often it happens -- >> -- point joe -- >> the notion the belief the republican party that there is voter fraud that exists in this country and the only thing that's changed is now some of the democrats are seeing the light, to
