I guess it shouldn't be shocking that Trump doesn't understand the burden of proof given his credulity to conspiracy theories, but it still is.
I think you're not quite right on this one Photon.

The article title is "Donald Trump falsely claims "millions of people who voted illegally' cost him the popular vote. Once the writer decided on that sort of title, they assumed authority over the validity of the claim and made their own assertion that the claim was indeed false.

A more truthful title would be "Donald Trump claims voter fraud: No evidence provided". Just because a claim is made doesn't automatically make it false with an absence of evidence.
