Just a few days ago, President-elect Donald Trump was so worried about losing the elections that he was still claiming they were "rigged" in Hillary Clinton's favour.
Fresh on the heels of the final installment of FBI interference and email non-scandal, in which director reconfirmed that Clinton would not be charged with any wrongdoing, Trump told Minneapolis with increasing desperation that Clinton was "protected by a rigged system".
He'd been referring to Democrat opponent Clinton as "Crooked Hillary" for a significant part of his campaign, claiming the emails scandal meant she was corrupt and not to be trusted.
Accusations of electoral fraud, media manipulation and Clinton corruption dogged the run up to the 2016 presidential elections, aka the ugliest election of all time.
I wonder if Trump will just quietly choose to forget about these now...
