I Just Realized Trump Will Claim Victory Tomorrow Night No Matter What The Vote Totals Are

Think about it.
This is Trump.
Crying "hoax" and "it is rigged" like a little baby is who he is.
There is zero chance he will acknowledge he was simply voted out of office.
Even if the same day votes favor Biden and the outstanding is for Biden, and they call it for Biden, Trump will claim victory.

It's who he is.

It will suck.

I hope I am wrong, but with Trump it is always worst case scenario.

The crucial difference is that we haven’t seen it happen here. Generally, the losing candidate accepts the result and graciously concedes. Which makes me wonder how the news media will spin it if/when he does so? Will they simply report the facts, or are they so used to “the rules of the game” that, should Trump claim victory, they’ll decide it’s so unprecedented, he must have some unrevealed information to back it up, and so tacitly give him the ammo he needs to spin it as “I won, and then Democrat cheaters tried to steal it with vote fraud?”

and immediately have an election expert or two explaining where the race really stands.

It could be the FIRST sign to him that he is no longer able to control the story.

We happened to tune in just as Fox announced Biden as the winner, and he literally flipped out. It was hilarious!!

Let him say whatever bullcrap he wants to. He fears having to face the real consequences for the shitty things he has done in his life, hence his being in panic mode.

Every deal he lost was a win. All part of the plan.

Even when he tried to get NBC to move to his Meadowlands fantasy and they laughed at him, he couldn't figure out a way to claim a win, so he blamed it on NBC being stupid and not knowing how much better his deal was.

If he loses both the popular vote and the EC (oh, I hope he doesn't win even one state) shove down his throat that he had the "greatest" loss and his inaugural is smaller than both Biden's and Obama's. Revive Obamacare and make him get on his knees over the new Mexican border.

Ruin his horrible family and "friends" and rub his nose in it.

Just destroy him and all he pretends to stand for.

Some 2nd string legal team to question the results. But I think it will be short lived bc Biden will win by a historic landslide. My only concern are the whackjobs following him and creating this "civil war".
