Watching Trumps news conference on the election

[RDANGELO]

I think that he honestly believes he won the election. He is a severe case of narcissistic personality disorder. Instead of admitting failure, he falls into a delusion. He gets all this information from the right wing news sites and Giuliani , and he believes it. The scary thing is that he takes all of his supporters along with him.

1. Yes, he's so certain he won

He can’t imagine that he lost, it must have been stolen. Him losing is the only proof of election fraud he and his nutjob followers need. Too bad it’s not proof. He honestly has no idea that he is despised by so many. Plus, in his mind, the people who despise him are nefariously corrupt. It’s tragic, really.

3. Trump Knows

He just thinks if he says it enough it will be true. The power trip he has been on for the last 4 years makes him think he is invincible.

If you noticed his last rallies, like the one at the WH they had to go out, reward people for coming. Fools who like freebies and wanted to be at the WH accepted.

That is why Biden won 7 million more votes. Reality will not set in until Trump leaves and his power is gone, capute!

4. I agree that he knows. He knew before

the election he was going to lose which is why he set the con in motion.

His goal is to convince others so he can inhabit that delusion on occasion, but he knows.

23. THIS

He knew he was going to lose

[RDANGELO]

8. If he knows that he is lying, he is the best damn liar I have ever seen.

10. Bluff

Trump has done it so long what he thinks is true. He is used to deluding himself. He was never the greatest anything.

You have to understand his hatred of Obama is in the mix. Obama campaigned for Joe. Joe and Obama beat him. A double whammy.

[secondwind]

22. He was never the greatest anything...

Love that line!

[malaise]

24. Proof of that was his line about your favorite president

He knew and knows that he is the only person who believes that.

17. He hasn't the capacity to feel shame according to psychologists

and is such a distorted personality that lying comes to him as easily as we breathe. Yes he knows our reality exists but he inhabits Trumpland where such truths are bent to suit the owner.

[True Blue American]

18. Reality will not set in until

He leaves. Even then he will spend the rest of his life blaming others.

Anyone have people like that in their family? I do and it is always the other persons fault. Most of us admit being wrong. It is not easy but we do it. Lord knows I have been wrong, many times.

[vlyons]

15. He most certainly knows

He says in "The Art of the Deal" (paraphrasing) to never admit defeat. If you lose, claim the other guy cheated. The people you lie to won't remember the outcome, but will respect you for fighting to the bitter end.

His ego-Self is all entwined with being the world champion winner of whatever. To admit defeat feels like the death of his ego-Self.

19. Agree!:)

2. I wish he would take them along

to Pluto... my sister can go to if she wants,........

[Cha]

5. I don't think so.. he's a sociopathic LIAR &

this is all for show to sow violence & throw red meat at his Stupid Cult 74 Million.

Do you think when he Lied about the crowd size of his inauguration that he couldn't see the difference between his & President Obama's?

11. Trump is such

A psychopathic liar he is incapable of telling the truth.

[Cha]

14. Exactly.. he'd rather the sane world know

him as psychotic than admit any truths Whatsoever!

[Skittles]

6. it's not that he thinks he won - he knows he did not

he is absolutely INCAPABLE of admitting he lost because of his illness

[Doodley]

7. He's mentally ill. He could have started a nuclear war. Still could. I hope something is done to

protect the world from another destructive force taking the presidency in the future.

[JI7]

9. No, his gross ego can't admit publicly his failures. He thought Putin or something

else would come through for him again also.

[R B Garr]

13. +, Yes, I think he knows he lost which puts his ego con man

into overdrive.

[BainsBane]

12. It sure seems like it

He can't face defeat, so he invents an alternative reality. He is a deeply sick man. That's not to cut him ANY slack. He's the worst POS on the planet.

[wnylib]

16. I think he knew he would not win

a fair election which is why he objected to mail in ballots and then had DeJoy mess up the mail system. He also counted on RW Senators, state legislatures, and party leaders in various states to rig their states and precincts.

This is why he can't believe that Biden won. He was so sure that he and his enablers had sewed up the votes through vote suppression and rigging that he can't believe that Dems managed to win against the odds that he had created in his favor.

He might actually believe that Dems countered his crigging with our own in order to defeat him. In his mind, how could someone defeat his tactics without using their own?

[Squinch]

20. He knows. He just thinks he can cheat his way out of his defeat the way he always does.

To mount the relentless cheating campaign he is waging, he has to know.

What he is certain of, in his deluded head, is that someone will bail him out and hand him what he wants but hasn't earned.

[Jon King]

21. Nah, its all part of his con job....

He knows he lost, its just a way to prolong the con. I guarantee he was getting more donations before Joe's win was ascertained by GSA and then they dropped. He then tweeted "I concede nothing" hours later. Now this unhinged conference and saying he would go to GA. Donations will spike again.

He has people who track his online donations. He will do whatever he can to maximize those donations while planning full time what his next act will be. He absolutely knew he lost election night or the next day. The rest has all been part of his continued con of the dimwits that worship him.

So the correct take away is he believes his supporters need to think he won the election.

[634-5789]

25. Listened to his rant...

...and actual people believing that line of bullshit worries me. It's actual insanity on parade.

[Withywindle]

26. He just wants to make sure all "illegitimate votes" are thrown out

and by "illegitimate votes," he means every vote that wasn't for him. Everyone loves him, right? (all REAL Americans, meaning his MAGA cult). So every vote against him must be illegitimate. See? Easy-peasy.

[muriel_volestrangler]

27. Add in his racism. He really doesn't think the views of non-white people count.

For instance, after 2016, he claimed he won the women's vote. He didn't, of course, but he did win the white women's vote. And in his mind, "white" is all that matters. Think of his wish for immigration from Norway, and not so-called "shithole" countries. Of his hatred for Mexicans, and Muslim countries.

A lot of the BS lawsuits have been to chuck out votes from areas without white majorities.

[orwell]

28. He knows he lost...

...he is a consummate liar.

He is gaslighting us. It is the same thing he has done since day 1.

For the most part it has worked for millions of people.

It won't work this time no matter what he does.

He did everything he could to rig this election but he failed.

Now just go away you sick, twisted bastard...

[Siwsan]

29. He's gotten away with buying and bullying his way out of misdeeds and disappointments, until now

His whole life lacks accountability and he has NO way of coping with facing reality.
