https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-got-a-kick-out-of-the-election-fears-hes-stoked-inside-the-doj-theres-some-panicJustice Department prosecutors expect Bill Barr to join election lawsuits benefiting Trump, who thinks its funny not to promise a peaceful transition of power.
In the closing months of his first term in office, President Donald Trump has taken the public approach of a wannabe authoritarian, but with the private perspective of a MAGA internet troll.
Over the past week, Trump declined to commit to a peaceful, orderly transition of power, no matter who wins the 2020 presidential election, declaring at one point, Were going to have to see what happens.
To horrified voters, onlookers, and the Democratic opposition, it was another clear instance of the sitting president openly telegraphing his plans to seize power, something some administration officials fear will soon take form within the federal government and among major party organs.
But to Trump, it was funny as hell.

Of course its all bullshit, because he dont care, more drama, more chaos, thats his game.
DAMN media. Even those I enjoy hearing from spend too much time on all sorts of fears he's stoked.

too.
Michael Cohen said Trump doesn't have a sense of humor. He doesn't joke.
I think his trial balloon went over like lead so he's claiming it's just fun and games. I don't buy it.
