His claiming without proof he was defeated from a rigged election, after having a long history of projecting his actions onto others, and really him admitting he got into office from his rigging of the 2016 election with the help of putin , and corruption in the GOP? That's been his pattern. I believe that's what trump is really scared of happening, getting exposed for it.

(11,690 posts)Projection is a psychological "defense mechanism". It is used to diffuse the cognitive dissonance (psychic pain caused by holding thoughts that are inconsistent with their self image). Trump wants to see himself as a winner, as intelligent, and other good and competent things. The reality is that he likely, deep down, understands that he is a loser, but he CANNOT admit to his failures so he projects them onto others.

He also tried to stop the post office from functioning and there were tens of thousands more votes in 5 KY counties than there were registered voters. Then of course there was the rampant gerrymandering of the last 20-30 years by the right. He was cheating with ES&S so of course claimed Dems were cheating with Dominion - only without any proof for his claims. He overlooked us, discounted us and we won!
