Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed the general election is "rigged" against him. But as Hillary Clinton pointed out at their debate Wednesday night, his claim is definitely not the first time the GOP nominee has cried foul.
Here are just a handful of times Trump has said the fix was in.
In September 2012, Trump claimed the Emmys were fixed against him after his reality TV show "The Apprentice" failed to win any awards.

THE EMMYS
In September 2012, Trump, in a Twitter tirade, claimed that the Emmys were rigged, after his reality TV show "The Apprentice" failed to win any awards.
The Emmys are all politics, that's why, despite nominations, The Apprentice never won--even though it should have many times over.

"Amazing Race" winning an Emmy again is a total joke. The Emmys have no credibility--no wonder the ratings are at record lows.

"The Emmys are all politics, that's why, despite nominations, The Apprentice never won-- even though it should have many times over," he tweeted. "'Amazing Race' winning an Emmy again is a total joke. The Emmys have no credibility--no wonder the ratings are at record lows."

THE GOP AND DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES
Trump also claimed the GOP primary process was rigged against him, even as he was on his way to winning the nomination handily.
"The bosses are trying to run it," he told CNN in May. "It's a rigged party. The bosses want to pick whoever they want to pick. The voters wouldn't stand for it."
Bernie Sanders is being treated very badly by the Dems. The system is rigged against him. He should run as an independent! Run Bernie, run.

Trump also said the Democratic primary was fixed.
"Bernie Sanders is being treated very badly by the Dems. The system is rigged against him. He should run as an independent! Run Bernie, run," he tweeted in May. Clinton won the primary fair and square.

THE 2012 ELECTION
Trump even appeared to claim the last general election was rigged.
As returns were coming in on Nov. 6, 2012, Election Day that year, showing a big Mitt Romney loss, Trump just couldn't deal with it.
"He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election" Trump tweeted about Obama, who won the popular vote 51%-47%.
This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realdonaldtrump) November 7, 2012
"We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!" he tweeted. "Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us."

"No charges. Wow! #RiggedSystem," Trump tweeted after FBI Director James Comey decided to not recommend charges against Clinton regarding her email server. (J. Scott Applewhite/AP)
THE FBI
Trump has also said the FBI was rigged. Following the agency's decision over the summer to not recommend charges against Clinton for her use of a private email server, Trump tweeted that "the system is rigged."
It was just announced-by sources-that no charges will be brought against Crooked Hillary Clinton. Like I said, the system is totally rigged!
— Donald J. Trump (@realdonaldtrump) July 2, 2016
"General Petraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment," he tweeted. "FBI director said Crooked Hillary compromised our national security. No charges. Wow! #RiggedSystem."
Trump once grew angry that a classmate at the New York Military Academy performed better than he did on a chemistry test and immediately said the other person cheated. (Mike Groll/AP)
A CHEMISTRY TEST
Trump even once questioned whether a high school chemistry test was fixed.
According to The Washington Post, Trump, during his time at the New York Military Academy, where he attended high school, Trump "grew angry when a study partner scored higher on a chemistry test, even questioning whether he had cheated."
