Fire is hot, water is wet, and puppies are cute.

...which is to say, no shit Trump won't concede. Even if the entire country voted blue, he wouldn't. And it doesn't make a rat's ass of difference if he does or not, Joe swears in come Jan. 20.

Does he know that a concession is a formality and not about legality?

He probably does, (though he understands little about government) and is just using that refusal as a symbolic dog whistle.

The losing team in the super bowl doesn’t have to concede. They lost. Same with any other sporting event. Or any election. The loser loses. They can give a speech if they like. Or they can turn off the lights and go home.

What’s Trump’s going to say on January 20? I didn’t concede so I’m not leaving?

It’s like the posts the other day mocking him for using the word hereby. One post observed, I hereby won powerball, even though I have only 3 matching numbers. You can hereby all you like but you still didn’t win millions of dollars. Same here. He can “not concede” all he likes. If he’s not the winner, he lost. He’s the loser.
