"...in Trump’s mind, you only "lose" if you fail to avoid losing: ...the pathological belief that the only limits to “winning” are those placed on his willingness to lie, cheat, and steal.....to whatever extreme extent that will allow him to avoid “losing”
"I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of Bikers for Trump. I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough...until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad"...1/
