Donald Trump may never concede, but that doesn’t really matter, so long as he capitulates. In other words, we don’t care if he admits he lost; we just care that he admits he’s leaving the White House on January 20th. To that end, Trump’s tweet today is notable:
“Biden can only enter the White House as President if he can prove that his ridiculous “80,000,000 votes” were not fraudulently or illegally obtained. When you see what happened in Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia & Milwaukee, massive voter fraud, he’s got a big unsolvable problem!”
Yes, this is completely unhinged. But it’s also a capitulation.
Trump is clinging to increasingly minor points while capitulating on the larger points. It’s what defeated losers do when they don’t want to admit they lost, but they can see that most observers know they lost.
Donald Trump’s tweet makes clear.
That he doesn’t understand the burden of proof.
Then again, he never understood the burden of the presidency,
Or the burden of paying his bills.
Or the burden of following the law.
But he’s soon going to understand the burden of prison.
