I recall being aroudn 5 years old and buying in on Santa and then asking why we can't just ask for all sorts of stuff if it's magically given to us and my mom said something along the lines of "Unless you're really poor you have to leave Santa a check."

Trump is the same way.  You need his followers to believe he's magical and all powerful, but you also have to find a way to convince them it may be time to stop relying upon his magic so much without admitting his magic isn't real.  I can't believe we are talking about a voter base that is well beyond childhood with this stuff.



Midterm related - Trump in heels™ Kari Lake is looking down the barrel of a loss and I can't see her graciously admitting defeat. Looks like Trump is letting people know it was rigged...

She actually benefitted from the mail-in ballots.  The gap closed a fair bit when these votes started to be counted.  Trump never lets a the truth get in the way of a good tantrum.
