1) He claimed the RNC primaries were rigged against him, and he won anyway. Now, perhaps the RNC did some dirty tricks behind the scenes like the DNC did with Sanders, but unless actual evidence emerges, that's only going to be rumor. The point is, he won the primaries pretty easily. If it was rigged, it was an awful attempt.

2) Whilst the DNC helped to rig the primaries for Clinton, ultimately the DNC and the RNC are private organizations that aren't exactly accountable to anyone other than their members. It is an entirely different story for the actual election, which is run by the government. All in all, I would like to think it's harder to rig a general election than it is to rig a primary, so I don't see how his complaint holds any merit.

One slight quibble.  The states run the elections and the republicunts have been trying to rig them through voter suppression laws except the courts keep striking them down.
