Trajectory

NY Times: Trump Doesn’t Like What He Sees in the Crystal Ball - Besides delaying the election, what else could alter his political trajectory? By Gail Collins and Bret Stephens
What I think this tweet tells us is that Trump knows in his heart that he is likely to lose in November. He’s laying the groundwork not for a coup but for an excuse, both for himself and for his followers. It creates a mythology to explain defeat, attack Joe Biden and keep the Trump family relevant in the Republican Party. The fact that he’d pull a stunt like this is another reason it’s so important that he lose in a landslide in November.
