It's truly rich when Donald Trump accuses someone else of "cheating".

When he has cheated on his employees, his business partners, his taxes, his wives, and everyone he has ever come into contact with.

He has cheated on the truth every day of his life.

So, when he accuses someone else of "cheating", he exposes himself as one of the biggest hypocrites on the face of the earth.

It's truly rich.

he lost by a large margin. I absolutely eats him up that even though he suppressed votes, manipulated the USPS, and used all his dirty tricks and still lost by seven million votes.

FDR certainly had a way with words. I'd never heard that one before, but it is timely. I guess some things never change.

is shocked that his cheat was not enough to overcome the DEM vote. That could only happen, in his mind, if the DEMs cheated more than he did.

I agree. This is why he keeps on insisting that a Biden win was "statistically impossible". He was just completely unprepared for the millions of people who hate him with a passion and came out to vote against him.

he projects his bad behavior unto others. When he says Dominion voting machines flip votes he is projecting which means Dominion doesn't flip votes. I notice he says nothing about ESS&S voting machines that were predominately used in Maine, Florida, and Kentucky.

I'm sorry but Kentucky's election needs to be investigated

p. 21: He projects his own sins and crimes onto others, partly to distract and confuse, but mostly because he thinks everyone is as corrupt and shameless and ruthless as he is; a poisonous mindset I know all too well.

As a full-blown malignant narcissist, Trump does not have sufficient self-reflection to be a hypocrite. He believes everything he says at the moment in which he says it, even if two minutes later he contradicts himself. He lives in a bubble of his own making, divorced from the real world, focused only on one thing: himself. Truth as we know it doesn't come into play.

That does not excuse his sycophants. Supposedly "intelligent" members of his party should know better and they stood silently by as he uttered every imbecilic BS time and again.

They need to be held accountable.
