Dolchstoss

Now that the dust is settling a bit things are getting clearer and this is how I see things:
Trump does not really believe that he was defrauded and does not really think that his tantrums and multiple law suits will salvage his presidency. He is concerned with his place in posterity and wants a dolchstoss narrative to gain currency. Being seen a loser, plain and simple, is more than his brain can take.
I also think it's time to face the fact that Trump blurts out straight what a lot of people think but are too embarrassed/ashamed to admit -- especially to pollsters.
