President Donald Trump could not pass an opportunity to brag about his election victory, even during a tour of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.
On his tour Trump was accompanied by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who is one of three Black members of the Senate. After thanking the senator for attending the museum with him Trump said, “I like the state of South Carolina. I like all those states where I won by double, double, double digits. You know, those states.”
On Election Day Trump defeated his Democratic challenger, Hillary Clinton, 54.9 percent to 40.7 percent. For the Republican primary Trump received 33 percent of the vote; Sen. Marco Rubio came in second place at 22 percent. President Trump won the electoral college vote by 77,000 votes scattered across three states (less than 1 percent in each state) and lost the national vote by close to 3 million.
