We can all make fun of him but I think he is setting the stage to call the election unfair and unlawful when he eventually loses, be careful.
He already is lol
Edit: taken from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:20240524_Trump_groundwork_for_election_denial.svg
Not to say this isn't true, but the 2024 count probably also includes his continued whining about the 2020 election. It's all part of the same thing, but it's blurrier than the other two metrics.

Um...ok? That really only supports what I said - there was no distinction between which election he was talking about.
In terms of pure numbers, that's gonna inflate the stats.
Um…ok? Go argue with the ny times, I’m just providing the info that was attached to the image.
I'm not arguing with anybody. Just pointing out a notable difference in the sets of data.
Ain't that the truth!
He tapped an outside contractor to come up with the governance and policy plan. They basically delivered him a 900 page authoritarian how-to manual.
That's the decoy manual, he really plans to use a subscription based manual called Vladimir Putin.
Cheating the vote obviously has legs, but whining that it's unfair he has to run against someone he doesn't want to isn't going to hit the same. He is really losing his edge and getting slow-witted, and it really looks to me like maga is running out of gas, and I don't think there is anyone out there who can replace Trump to pour fuel on the fire.
He's no longer in the position to keep the military away for his insurrection. They will be there in force and any bullshit magats think they're going to pull is going to be snuffed out quicker than he can inhale a bigmac.
Unless he somehow gets the whole US military to stage a coup for him, we’ll be just fine and get rid of a lot of dead weight in the process.
