To understand Donald Trump’s refusal to accept defeat in the 2020 election, it’s necessary to go back a few years. With the benefit of hindsight, it’s clear to see that it was always likely to end this way.
For his entire political life, Mr Trump has used bogus claims of vote rigging and election fraud to explain defeats or anticipated defeats. He has consistently undermined the integrity of American democracy in the service of protecting his ego.
During his successful 2016 presidential run he made frequent unsubstantiated claims of vote rigging against his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton and even his rivals in the Republican primaries.
“Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified,” Mr Trump wrote following his defeat to the Texas senator in 2016.

A study of his life shows the tendencies to do this in everything he tried. His failures in the business world were always blamed on some outside force. It was never his fault. That goes back to his childhood days, attempting to please his father and get some of the love and attention that was going to his older brother, although there was very little "love" from his father to any of the children.

It's not too much of a surprise. He lies about everything. Big things, little things, anything. Despite the damage he is causing to the country, I don't think that's his goal. Things like that don't even show up on his radar. All he cares about is how things impact him personally.

Thanks for this eye-opening share, PO1. I would even venture to speculate that this is only one facet of what's behind his alleged "erratic" behavior...
