Trump has said that there is no way he loses the election without fraud. Does he actually believe that?


Some of Trump’s aides have indicated that no, Trump knows that he’s lying and doesn’t see the upside in telling the truth.

Remember that Trump spent 2020 claiming that he could only lose by fraud so that if he did lose (which he probably knew that he could) then all he had to do was claim that the election was “stolen” from him, knowing that his followers were primed to believing that.

And now, Trump can stay relevant to his followers by keeping them riled up about “the steal.” One reason: Trump has been scamming his followers by asking them for donations to “stop the steal” and then pocketing the money. Another: Trump’s followers would have turned on him if they thought he was a loser.

While Trump spent the past six-odd years talking like an idiot and behaving as if he were demented, the above is tactical. It’s cynical, criminal, and deplorable, to be sure, and it’s evidence that Trump is not actually demented. No, he isn’t senile and convinced that he really won.

He’s lying, and for the most obvious reason: he stands to gain everything from this particular lie.
