4. Trump Doesn't really think he Won the Election
Sat Dec 19, 2020, 01:57 AM
Dec 2020

I have seen people say that Trump thinks he actually won and that's why he acts the way he does.

No, the reason he acts the way he does is because he has always had people that saved him from getting into worse trouble. From his dad giving him money after his business failures to Putin's interference in 2016 elections.

And even while he was in office he always had someone like Barr and others that protected him .

He is angry because he thinks people should have done the same for him for the 2020 elections. Maybe he wont actually win so they have to do something to fix it for him. That's why he is angry at Georgia's Republican officials . It's not that he thinks they are lying or anything like that , he is angry they aren't fixing the election for him.

And the election loss isn't just about the election loss but about losing the protections he had as President and all the chances for his grifting.

He will also have much more attention on the things he does not compared to before he ran for President.

Sounds like it might be a rough ride. nt. Irish_Dem Dec 2020 #1
