That's a strong condemnation from 2012 Trump, and he's right. If the current results hold up, this will be the fifth time in U.S. history that a candidate has lost the popular vote but still gone on to be president, putting Trump among the ranks of John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison and George W. Bush.
