Tweeted by trump at midnight. The temper tantrum rages on. Will anyone in his inner circle tell him how ridiculous he looks?
The gnashing of teeth by leftists because someone states the truth they don't want to believe is what is ridiculous.

I have a feeling that this is unequivocally, 100% off base.

And it's not about 'coronation' but rather getting ready to transfer power.

On November 9th, the day after the 2016 election Clinton called Trump to congratulate him, on November 10th Obama invited Trump to the White House to start the transition process.

Trump will keep claiming he won as long as he can make money off it. i.e. begging for money to 'fight the count' and pocketing the money. After that, who knows? My guess is that he will continue having rallies but most likely will charge admission, if that fails he will try to sue someone or maybe start a new Trump University or sell locks of his hair, because he monetizes everything. How long do you think we should entertain the delusional fantasies that Trump won?

Even in 2000 when the election was under litigation behind the scenes the transition was happening. https://www.eenews.net/stories/1063717567
President Trump once said "I whine until I win". That tells me what I need to know regarding how he is behaving.

I started to miss the late 2000s, and that wasn't a great time for me. I looked up John McCain's concession speech. He showed alot of class. McCain made phone call to congratulated Obama. Upon mentioning that, the crowd started booing. McCain basically had to say, though politely, "stop it". I started wondering how we went from that to Trump tweeting delusional things about the election. I wondered about that. But then I started thinking "the crowd was booing when McCain was taking the final results with some class. Maybe the individuals who booing wanted someone as brutish and delusional as Trump". Just something I have wondered.

From what I understand, using Adderall makes one feel invincible and authoritative.
Eh, it really depends on the person. I haven't heard this. Usually it's more like calming and focused, for many who actually need it. I know someone who can take it, then take a nap.

I'm surprised his handlers are letting this drag on as long as it is delusional.

The bottom line is the huge gap on the electoral vote unless you can prove it’s a fraud- game is over

I suspect this will end on 11/20/20 when many states certify the election results.

Trump has shown zero interest in governing since the election. At least pretend to care. Heck, we can't even get a straight answer on masks, even now. He, Pence and others still don't wear them, yet HHS Secretary Azar appeared on TV this morning with a big sign behind him saying wear a mask.

In the end, this is just about Trump's ego and in the process, the nation is being devastated by a disease which he shows zero interest in. For those who don't like Biden, find someone to support who cares about someone other than themselves.

But was it stolen? Just because he lost doesn't mean it was "stolen." Where is this widespread fraud? We are still waiting on evidence of that.

I would say:

The bar for accepting evidence of election fraud should be on the order of what Republicans asked for to convict Trump in the Ukraine scandal.

However, that level of proof is simply unattainable.

But we do remember when Trump claimed there was election fraud in 2016; millions of illegal votes. And his claim was false. His investigation uncovered zero cases of election fraud. Zero. And here is in 2020 claiming the same thing. And here Trumpers are again, believing whatever he says.

When there is actual evidence of widespread election fraud, get back to us. Until then, it is sour grapes. And 78M Americans are just shaking their heads at that crowd of people that have been fooled again and again and again and again and...
