40. and don't forget Trump did his damnedest to fix the 2020 election in his favor..

months before the election Trump knew he was going to lose because of his disasterous handling of the pandemic so he and his guys concocted a plan to steal the election...Bill Barr began questioning the validity of mail-in ballots, Louis DeJoy slowed the mail, removed mailboxes, and trashed sorting machines, and state election officials eliminated vote centers...Trump did his part by warning his rally goers the only way he could lose is if Biden rigged the election...add to that, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and Rudy Giuliani knew the early returns would favor Trump and they advised Trump to declare victory the night of the election and demand the vote count stop...but if the count continued (it did) and Biden won (he did), then they would file multiple lawsuits challenging the outcome convinced Trump's assholes on the Supreme Court would decide in Trump's favor citing Gore v Bush as precedent...

Trump's rage obsession with the 2020 election stems from one thing....Trump thought he had the election in the bag and, yet, he lost...so in Trump's toxic mind where everyone is as corrupt as he is, that meant Biden "out-fixed" Trump's fixed election...oh my!
