What puzzles me is why Trump is doing this. It's obviously not going to work and will just delay the preparations for a smooth transfer of power.

The idea that it's to "protect democracy" won't fool anyone other than those who have swallowed his bs for the last few years and are beyond hope. The rest of us know he doesn't do anything unless it's in his personal best interest. So how can chasing a lost cause be in his best interests?

He has a brand to protect. He has a dynasty, which with careful handling could rise again in the coming years. There is even talk of him standing as an independent in 2024.

By acting in this way he is throwing it all away. His legacy will forever be tainted by this behaviour. For me, and many others, it was already tainted but this will damage him beyond repair with many who were on the fence about him.

He is acting like a desperate man. For me he has done so ever since the pandemic struck and he realised the impact it would have on his re-election chances. In seeking to ignore it and keep the economy as his priority he has cost many lives, in the hope it would be enough to save him.

So why is he so desperate? We know he is a flawed character who cannot accept losing, but there are ways of losing battles without losing wars.

I believe there are indictments waiting to be served on him and his family immediately after he loses office. Maybe even at Biden's inauguration. Maybe the knowledge of that and the prospect of jail is what is driving this. We'll see.

I would've thought it was pretty obvious why he's doing it. Being President immunized him from jailtime or bankruptcy.

People seem to forget what the Muller report actually said. It said that while there was insufficient evidence to impeach, Russia had systematically attempted to influence the election, that Trumps family had connections to key Russian officials and were on record as accepting their involvement. If he hadn't been President that would almost certainly have meant jail.

And he has spent the past 4 years using his position to further his business interests. G7 meetings at Trump golf resorts. New Trump towers in the Middle East and China.

He's not an idiot. He knows if he loses this it hits his bottom line and potentially incriminate his family. That's why he's so desperate.

Read a couple of articles about high level dems stating defund the police and going socialist almost cost them this election win (if they do).
Seems like matov was on the money as if they get in the White House antifa and blm are goner be in the cross hairs. The left eating the left will start very soon. Even Biden's acceptance speech tic stated about building bridges. That wont happen with these two organisations ligging on their coat tails. Goner get spicy.
