"All of this is normal behavior for an intemperate adolescent, an authoritarian ruler, or Trump."

Trump thinks he's losing. Just listen to him.

Analysis: The president's election night remarks will surely go down as a low point for both the concept of democracy and the practice of republicanism.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump sounds like a man who knows he's losing, even though it will take time to sort out the final vote counts in key electoral battlegrounds.

Speaking from the White House early Wednesday morning, Trump falsely declared that he was winning. And then he said the election is "a fraud on the American public" and an "embarrassment to our country." In case it wasn't obvious that he is desperately worried, he said he wants state officials to stop counting ballots midstream.

Oh, and he vowed to sue to overturn the results, despite calling himself the winner.


We're so accustomed to his doublespeak, we didn't even catch his own self-contradictions.
