Edward Norton shares ‘perfect’ explanation of why Trump has refused to concede election

Edward Norton has received praise for sharing a “perfect” explanation of why, in his mind, Donald Trump has refused to acknowledge his loss in the 2020 presidential election.

The actor admitted he’s “no political pundit” but pointed to his father, a former federal prosecutor who he said “taught me a lot”, as well as his experience playing poker with “serious players”.

“I do not think Trump is trying to ‘make his base happy’ or ‘laying the groundwork for his own network,’ or that ‘chaos is what he loves,’” Norton wrote, echoing some of the theories that have been voiced to explain Trump’s refusal to concede.

“The core of it is that he knows he’s in deep, multi-dimensional legal jeopardy and this defines his every action.”
