You obviously don't agree with me if that's what you think.
Trump is thinking very clearly. Running a campaign that has caused 45% of independent voters to question the legitimacy of elections is not something you conjure overnight. This was planned for months.
As for Biden "making life rough for Trump" with his awesome presidential powers. Why didn't Trump use those super secret powers to make life rough for Hillary? Sorry, bro, you're dreaming. There are no such powers and Biden is entering his term in an historically weak position, as I described. Expect the Senate to open round-the-clock in
quiries into him on day one --- if he forgets to flush the toilet in the Oval Office it will prompt a 2 year investigation. It will be utterly unrelenting. A bulldozer of s&$t is about to park itself on Biden's scrotum.

I write this as 100% avowedly pro-Trump. I voted for him in 2016 and 2020, and have donated money to the campaign. I would love to see him pull this out but it's not going to happen and both he and the upper echelons of the party already know it.
So, if that's the case, why are they trying to "delegitimize" the elections?
It's about crippling the Biden presidency from day one.
Within 24 hours of Hillary's 2016 loss, Leon Panetta had the Russiagate conspiracy theory ready to roll out (www.nationalreview.com...). Though it was ultimately debunked, it took two years and a special counsel investigation to do it. During this time daily allegations against Trump swirled, the Trump-Russia collusion meme became so ingrained in our minds that - even after debunking - many people still believe it, and it propelled the Democrats to victory in the 2018 midterm elections.
Biden is already entering the presidency in a historically weak position. His approval ratings are the second lowest of a new president (Trump was first), he doesn't control the Senate and has a razor-thin majority in the House, he's made promises to the Left his ass can't cash due to pushback from his own donor cartel, his party controls a vanishing minority of state legislatures during a year when redistricting is happening. He's an old white man in a party that despises old, white men.
This is about 2022. In 18 months no one will remember the details of the election "fraud," whether it was proved or not proved. They'll only remember the phrase "election fraud" and that it had something to do with Biden.
In just one week of work, we have 32% of independents who don't believe the election was "free and fair" and 11% who "don't know." [www.politico.com...] This is the battle we're fighting and winning. To subvert and destroy the Biden presidency through sabotage and whisper campaigns designed to delegitimize.
This is about mutually assured destruction. In 2016 the Democrats fired a nuke after the election. Strategic parity requires us to nuke them back.
I'm sorry for everyone who may feel let down to learn Trump will not pull this out and already knows it. You shouldn't feel let down - instead, you should feel emboldened to know that our leaders are fighting with brass knuckles and rusty shivs. We all knew, in 2016, that the establishment would not go quietly into the night and that this would be a war in which we win some battles and lose others. We're now less than two years away from kneecapping Biden after Trump did the dirty work this week of gouging out the Rat's eyes.
The war has only begun - this is the most exciting moment in American history! Let's win this!

You should look at taxes in blue states vs red states, from cigarettes to property taxes. Which states are solvent and which states barely holding on.
