That's certainly not the impression I got from his press conference. The most noticeable thing to me is all the time he spent claiming (incorrectly) that he got the most electoral college votes since Reagan. Which means either:

A) He's lying. And if he's lying about something which can be so easily checked and doesn't matter at all, how can anyone trust him on anything important?

B) He doesn't really know how many votes past candidates got. And it really doesn't matter - he got enough to be President, time to move on. So what does that say about his judgement that he wastes his press conference to comment on it, three months after the election?
