Pressed by Wallace if he’s a “gracious” loser, Trump responded, “You don’t know until you see. It depends.”
Weeks before the 2016 presidential election, Trump said, when asked by Wallace during a presidential debate between him and then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton

“I will tell you at the time, Trump said then. I’ll keep you in suspense,” he said then.
When discussing how the last presidential election turned out, Trump said that Clinton, who has a been a vocal critic of his administration over the past few years, “never accepted her loss.”
Asked by Wallace another time during his interview on Sunday about whether he would accept this year’s results as recent polls have shown presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden

“No, I’m not just going to say yes, I’m not going to say no, and I didn’t last time either,” he added.
In the same interview on Sunday, Trump also knocked a recent Fox News poll that showed Biden leading him by 8 points.
“I'm not losing, because those are fake polls,” he said in the interview. “They were fake in 2016 and now they're even more fake. The polls were much worse in 2016.”
“Whoever does your Fox polls, they're among the worst. They got it all wrong in 2016. They've been wrong on every poll I've ever seen,” Trump added.
