Trump smugly replied, grinning, “I agree.”
“I used to say, ‘Now, now, now, we won. Don’t do it’,” he continued. “I try and stop it, but now — She’s crazy. Bill is stone-cold afraid of her.”
Earlier this week, Clinton said Trump should not be allowed to “steal the election” and called his behavior “blatantly authoritarian.”
The former secretary of state shared a video on Wednesday of Trump speaking to reporters, saying the Supreme Court needs to have nine justices ahead of Election Day on November 3.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that the 2020 election against Democratic nominee Joe Biden is “rigged.”
He frequently rails against mail-in voting, claiming it’s ripe with widespread fraud, but officials have said there’s a lack of any evidence to prove that.
Clinton, who lost to Trump in the 2016 election, recently advised Biden not to concede this fall.
“Do not concede under any circumstance because I believe the other side is going to cheat and sneak and try everything they possibly can,” she said in a recent interview.
