Yes, Trump said, 'They rigged the election, and I became president' - eviltoast
It's unclear whether he was referring to the 2020 or 2024 U.S. election during a meeting he had with the FIFA president.

Regardless of context, he did say those words in that order.

      Context no longer seems to matter to them, so it shouldn’t to anyone else when discussing things like this. Pass it around.

      Ignoring necessary context required to correctly understand or interpret even a direct quote while “pass[ing] it around” is extremely deceptive. Exhibit A. In context, it is extremely plausible that Trump was referring to the 2020 election as, by losing it and being eligible to run in 2024, he is now able to oversee the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
