Election Over, but Still Cant Get Past It

By PETER BAKER and MAGGIE HABERMAN

WASHINGTON — ... Trump keeps a stack of color-coded maps of the United States representing the results of the 2016 election ...

... Trump sometimes hands the maps .. to visitors .. and a .. portrait-size version was hung .. in the West Wing last week. In conversations, the president dwells on the map ...

... Trump seems determined to prove that he won the election on his own. It was not Russian interference. It was not .. Comey’s actions .. involving .. Clinton’s emails. It was not a fluke of the Electoral College ... It was all him ...

... Even as he was defending his decision to dismiss .. Comey .. Trump signed an executive order creating a commission to investigate voting fraud in a quixotic effort to prove .. he would have won the popular vote .. but for millions of ballots .. illegally cast ...

at his ego, and forever haunting him. His entire being crying out for assurances he will never believe. An old man staggering about the halls of history. Bathrobe stained, socks drooping, hair untwined - carrying a much crumbled piece of paper in a shrunken hand. The old man, wasted and bent, appears to mumble to the faded scrap he carries...."But I won"..."But I won"..."But I won"...as he folds himself onto the floor...beaten.

Delicious.
