Trump told ally he's trying to get back at Democrats for questioning legitimacy of his own election

LOSER Trump told an ally that he knows he lost, but that he is delaying the transition process and is aggressively trying to sow doubt about the election results in order to get back at Democrats for questioning the legitimacy of his own election in 2016, especially with the Russia investigation, a source familiar with the President's thinking told CNN on Thursday.

The LOSER's refusal to concede, as CNN has previously reported, stems in part from his perceived grievance that Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama undermined his own presidency by saying Russia interfered in the 2016 election and could have impacted the outcome, people around him have said.
The LOSRER continues to hold a grudge against those who he claims undercut his election by pointing to Russian interference efforts, and he has suggested it is fair game to not recognize Joe Biden as the President-elect, even though Clinton conceded on election night in 2016 and the Trump transition was able to begin immediately.

I do suspect he will have to be taken out forcibly from the White House on the 20th of January by the Secret Service and US Marshalls. Then go on Twitter still bitching about having the Election stolen from him and rallying his supporters to subvert the incoming Biden/Harris Administration.

Then cause more trouble for the state of New York in refusing to cooperate with their legal cases against him. Trump keeps digging his hole deeper the more he refuses to allow the transition take place.

...that his election WAS and will forever be illegitimate. He knows he is about to be exposed as the fraud that he is. Not that much of the world does not already know that. His behavior now is only exacerbating it, and he is too goddamn stupid to understand that.

With Dumpy doing his best to overturn the election, isn't that subverting (?) and election? Isn't that a felony?
