It's a pattern to just mirror the actual accusation on your opponent and now part of their overall MO
As a sociologist researcher you must realise Trump (and now most of GOP) refer to any loss as "rigged" to mislead their supporters
He even referred to the GOP as "rigged" in 2016 when he didn't win their IWOA nomination and the Emmys as "rigged" when his reality show The Apprentice didn't win. The State and Federal Judges are "rigged" when he losses defamation and Trump Org cases despite the compelling factual evidence.
This overall pattern continues in ever aspect of his life:
Breaking news Trump is been accused of paying and incentivising 9 witnesses involved in upcoming criminal trial.
