Don's just running another con

He’s a shit, but he does have a PhD in in griftology.

Step One: Trash the integrity of mail-in votes where he knew he was going to get thrashed.

Step Two: Get all his supporters to defer voting until Election Day so he could “win” the day, thus giving them the impression he won before they went to bed.

Step Three: Claim fraud when his lead “mysteriously” disappeared, upon which they would naturally fall in line.

The game plan is working like a charm. It won’t get him re-elected, but it will keep him as the legitimate President in the eyes the vast majority of his 70-some odd million voters, which he will be able to leverage for all sorts of political and financial rewards over the next four years.

Trumpanzees are probably copying what they see going on in other countries.

There's the big one in Belarus against Putin's buddy. Just heard of claims now in Georgia. There were accusations in Bolivia that pushed leftist Evo Morales into exile in 2019 and from which he is only now returning. Many others. I have no idea if any are credible.
