Wehner: Trump Is Losing His Mind
“Given Trump’s psychological profile, it was inevitable that when he felt the walls of reality close in on him—in 2020, it was the pandemic, the cratering economy, and his election defeat—he would detach himself even further from reality. It was predictable that the president would assert even more bizarre conspiracy theories. That he would become more enraged and embittered, more desperate and despondent, more consumed by his grievances. That he would go against past supplicants, like Attorney General Bill Barr and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, and become more aggressive toward his perceived enemies. That his wits would begin to turn, in the words of King Lear. That he would begin to lose his mind. … So he has. And, as a result, President Trump has become even more destabilizing and dangerous.”

Lord of Soredom
Trump came into office as a phony and a poser,
Positioning himself as a world-class deal-closer.
But given his post-election antics,
It’s not even a question of semantics —
He’ll be remembered as being the world’s sorest loser.
Trump: Always a Loser
“[Trump] is crying so long and loudly about the unfairness of his loss that he is forcing officials at every level of government, across the country, to take sides—against him. His frenetic efforts to deny his defeat have simply underscored it. Trump really is leaving office on January 20th, and he really will go out as an impeached and defeated President, forevermore listed in the history books alongside Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter and all the other one-termers he disdains. He is now, and will always be, a loser.”

Australian Pol: Trump’s Mishandling of Pandemic Lost the Election
“If Donald Trump had handled the pandemic half-decently he would have won the election. He was headed towards a victory until the pandemic hit. It was his mishandling of that because, in the end, the public, when threatened, want their leaders to defend them against the threat.”
— Former Australian prime minister John Howard said that Donald Trump penned a lengthy “political suicide note” with his “terrible” handling of the coronavirus pandemic, The Guardian reports.

Trump’s College Education
His loss Trump still refuses to acknowledge,
And meanwhile democracy’s held hostage.
But it all ends today
When electors of faith
Cast their votes in the Electoral College.
