The Washington Post missed the point about Trump's behavior in their editorial today, "Mr. Trump's corrosive overreaction." They said his claims of voter fraud were "baseless" because he was accusing the Democrats of fraud. His claims were baseless but his purpose was to deflect.

As I am a mental health professional, for me the motivation for his "overreaction" is clear. When he says, "millions of people voted illegally" for Hillary, he manipulated the press to question whether Democrats voted illegally which lead the press away from investigating vote rigging. More than likely, he is aware of vote tampering. As you recall, during the debates he kept saying the election was rigged—within that steely brain, he knew that it was rigged, for him. One can assume he is privy to the purging of millions of Clinton votes and/or millions of voters illegally voting for him. This is what is underneath his swagger and accusations. When he described Mrs. Clinton as "Lying Hillary" and "Crooked Hillary" he was taking the onus off his lying, cheating, illegal behavior. The Post and the rest of the press in their naiveté, were duped.

Mr. Trump is a psychopath. He is manipulative, lacks empathy, is charming, disregards the rights of others or laws and feels little or no guilt. His only motivation is to win, regardless of the consequences to the United States or the world.
