It seems he gets up every day, gripes about the election, then wakes up the next day still a loser.

CNNs Jim Acosta on Sunday took a look at Donald Trumps speaking engagements since leaving the White House, observing that it appears every day is kind of a grievance groundhog day for the former president.
It seems he gets up every day, gripes about the election, then wakes up the next day still a loser, the anchor remarked.
Acosta was responding to reports that Trump gave a profane, vitriolic speech at a Republican National Committee gathering at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida Saturday. Trump reportedly insulted Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for not helping him overturn the 2020 election and continued to falsely maintain he was the winner.
After airing complaints about the election in his Easter message and in a recent wedding toast, Trump kept up the theme at a RNC donor dinner last night, Acosta said. He called the results BS, slammed his own vice president for certifying them and then said, this is a direct quote: If that were Schumer instead of that dumb son of a bitch Mitch McConnell, they would never have allowed it to happen.

(70,476 posts)1. Trump is either stupid and or just doing an act to keep the grift going.
The senate does not pick the winner or loser of a Presidential election the voters do. What the senate
does is just a pro forma act that they are directed to by the Constitution after the states have ratified
their electoral votes and the Vice President does not get to pick winners or losers either.
BTW Trump better be quite about McConnell because Mitch knows all about Trump and Russia's ratfucking
of the 2016 election.

He can be stupid, but grifting is all he knows.
More seriously, I think this may have begun as as all con, maybe the King in Orange is presenting it was to many, but losing really appears to be chipping away at what little sanity he has left and he may be really increasingly getting high on his own supply about the 'traitors' that stole the election. A narcissist can't lose, its almost an alien concept as that means they aren't as perfect as their self image requires. They can only be betrayed and undermined. His ignorance only helps and in light of this is even more willful.
