Trump Needs To "Learn What Happened"

I'm taking a passage from the link and may well be misinterpreting it:

"Secretary Clinton has said repeatedly the results of the [2016] election are over but we have to learn what happened"

The "learn what happened" may have referenced the Russia interference thing but my point is the fact she accepted winning the popular vote, yet losing the election. Trump, in contrast, lost the 2016 and 2020 elections popular vote and can't figure out what happened.

I'm quite sure he knows what happened and has privately accepted it...he simply doesn't like it and continues to undermine the election integrity.

I think in part of Trump's mind he knows he lost this election, just like he knows Russia helped him get elected in the first place, because extreme narcissists are always at war with insecurity and self-doubt.

But there's probably a big part of Trump's mind the believes his own bullshit too.

some have suggested (oops, should say that like IQ45 would: "Many people are saying.......: ) that he believed that "the fix" was in and that there was no way he could possible lose.
If indeed that is what he believed it is easy to understand why he's so bonkers now!

It's a total con to line his pockets as he gets ready to waddle out the door. The base keeps giving, because they are indeed that stupid and that hate filled.
