Trump is constructing his defeat myth. "I'm not a loser. The election was taken from me".
Typical Trump, placing his own ego above the needs of the country. He'll launch a cable network or some other new scam.

But, what about the millions of simple folks that he has duped. They are being told that the election was rigged, and that the new President is not legitimate.
It's not hard to see where this is going to lead, and it ain't good.



Is Trump getting ready to lose?

Donald Trump is preparing to lose. I don't mean that he definitely will be defeated or that he consciously thinks, "It's all over." Rather, his rhetoric betrays a shift in psychology.

Until recently it was all, "I'm going to win." Suddenly he's coming up with reasons why he might not.
Reason number one: The Democrats will cheat. In Ohio, he said the election might be "rigged." In Pennsylvania, he said the only possible way he could lose the state is if individual Democrats "vote five times."

Trump is famous for saying something sincerely only to insist later on that he was being sarcastic -- so take note of how deadly serious he sounded. He said: "The only way we can lose, in my opinion -- I really mean this, Pennsylvania -- is if cheating goes on." Not a hint of satire in that.

Reason number two: The media aren't giving him a fair shot. Trump seems particularly sore about a New York Times piece that claims his organization is in despair and the candidate out of his depth.
"Crooked Hillary Clinton is being protected by the media," Trump complained on Twitter, adding, "If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20%."
