As Trump threatens this year’s elections, he operates against the cold reality that he has never accepted an election he lost. He won’t accept it when he loses control of Congress this fall. He will try to overturn it however he can, with the full range of tools available to him as president.
Trump has never accepted election results and he is only getting worse
