I don't know about you, but I just don't think he believes his own rhetoric any more...

He's going through the motions, so he will not seem to be a loser to his cult following...

He will simply claim he never lost and that is enough for his thickhead cult followers.

...until his taxes are revealed.

He's going to have a tough time explaining that the reason he didn't pay taxes was because he failed in all his businesses.

Inequality? Nothing like American inequality. It even makes the third world look equal.

Shocking inequality: why San Francisco voted for 'overpaid executive tax'
Faced by inaction on national and state level, city decided to go it alone and tackle huge wealth gap

n Matt Haney’s walk to work at San Francisco city hall he passes the luxurious homes of some of the richest US tech billionaires, as well as hundreds of the country’s most desperate people living in tent encampments on the street.

The “extreme, shocking inequality” he and the other 900,000 residents are forced to navigate every day led Haney, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, the city’s legislative body, to propose a new “overpaid executive tax” designed to help tackle the problem.

San Francisco voters overwhelming backed a new law that will levy an extra 0.1% tax on companies that pay their chief executive more than 100-times the the median of their workforce. The surcharge increases by 0.1 percentage point for each factor of 100 that a CEO is paid above the median, up to a maximum of 0.6%.

Many of the biggest and best-known US companies would easily fall into the highest bracket. For example, Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla and the world’s third richest person, was paid $595m (£449m) last year, almost 10,000 times the firm’s median salary of just under $60,000.

Tim Cook, the chief executive of Apple, was paid $134m in 2019, more than 2,300 times the firm’s median pay of $57,600.

At Google’s parent company, Alphabet, Sundar Pichai’s $86m was only 350 times the median of $246,804. Unlike Tesla and Apple, Alphabet does not operate high street stores, which brings down average pay.

Smart people don't pay tax, only losers and idiots fall for that one.

The story is that the SC does not have that on Nov 23 and goes off to Thanksgiving, not meeting till Dec. Too late to decide anything on PA.

I wonder if the right-wing violence people expected is only on hold because these idiots really expect Trump to pull a miracle win.
Obviously I hope claims and reports of right-wing threats are either overblown or that these people are all mouth, but I'd still be cautious about what happens when the denial has past and they move into the anger and bargaining stage.

Twenty one Republican senators have Trump Derangement Syndrome, according to Carl Bernstein.
