Narcissist Trump just couldn’t stand losing

-

ISN’T it instructiv­e to hear some of the defeated US candidates who backed Donald Trump and recycled his false claims and lies that the 2020 Presidenti­al election was stolen from him, and that he “really” won it.

Trump backed many candidates in these US mid-term elections. Saying Trump really “won” the 2020 Presidenti­al election but that it was somehow “stolen” is a litmus test of loyalty to this liar. There have been 65 lawsuits alleging that the 2020 election was stolen; all of them have been thrown out, some even by Republican judges.

Yet still the Trump deniers persist. They have deep grievances and they are not going to let it go. They deny reality – Donald Trump lost. He was a narcissist who couldn’t stand losing. The US public said to him “you’re fired!” and voted him out.

Liars like Trump and his band of acolytes just cannot accept the truth, so they make things up. Politician­s can try that, but the US elections show that people don’t like it or want it.
