He said 2016 was rigged even though he won. It’s not a fragile ego. It’s a fascist dictator. He knows the vote is legit, but if he can convince enough people to side with him, it’s gonna make the whole dictator thing much easier.
I can, actually. My stepdad and mom are both conspiracy theorists. My stepdad the kind that believes in deep states and global control agencies, my mom the kind that believes in occults and Graham Hancock history.

Because he tries to rig elections and sometimes succeeds.
Because he puts out lies as news that are embarrassing to his enemies
Because scientific truths don't make him money. Raping the environment, etc. makes him money
He's been paying people to show up at his events for decades. Not all, but a lot. Take the Melania movie for example.

He gets a kick out of spouting obvious lies and getting away with it.

Don't confuse mass scale propaganda, cover up, and distraction as insecurities, it may be both but discounting it as just insecurities is dangerous.

I always thought that 1984 was a hyperbolic alegory for a dictatorial police state, yet here we are.
