Trump ain't got no "because".

It is pretty much an accepted custom that people who state opinions should also be able to share the reasons for their opinion.

"I believe Trump is a terrible liar BECAUSE reputable non-partisan investigators have verified that he has told over 20,000 lies these past four years."

"I believe my grandkids love ice cream BECAUSE they smile while they eat it."

"I believe the sun will set in the west this evening BECAUSE it has every evening of my life."

Trump and his intimidated sycophantic disciples say that they believe that votes for him were "legal", but votes for Biden were illegal and, therefore, Trump was just re-elected. That's their opinion. That's what they believe.

But, they ain't got no BECAUSE.
