I think he knows it, but he is setting up his narrative that the election was stolen from him. It’s all to rile up his base, much like with all his other lies.
Yes. Victimhood and martyrdom are the driving force of his inner (and outer) narrative. I think he truly believes that. I think he usually tells himself that he would be even more successful in life if his "enemies" were not sabotaging him and making him look bad. So no matter how incompetent he is, or no matter how much his own greed and overreach backfires on him and sets him back...it's always somebody else's fault. Because he's always the long-suffering victim. No matter how crooked and thieving he is himself.
That victimhood and that narrative that the election was rigged and stolen from him is what he's going to try to use to propel himself forward with for the rest of his life. He will try to pack rallies with paying attendees to hear how he was robbed of his re-election by those criminal Democrats who need to be locked up in prison for their crimes. Of course he won't be able to produce any real evidence of this. His only evidence will be that he lost an election that he and his supporters "know" that he actually won. It's a premise in a circular argument trying to prove its premise with nothing more than the original premise itself. But he'll still be able to pack some stadiums with his poor little rich white boy grievances. It's quite the spectacle. And it just shows how unwell and emotionally disturbed he is.
Fortunately in a couple more months the general public will no longer be a captive audience to all of his paranoid and self-aggrandizing psychoses.

So the word out today is that Trump put Purdue and that crazy woman in Georgia up to demanding that the Republican Secretary of States resign for his letting fraud be committed in the election. Now Georgia is one of those trifecta states where the Governor's office, the house, and senate in their legislature are all Republicans. Republicans also hold all the major statewide offices. In the down-ticket contests, Republicans did well in Georgie except for the two senators, both of whom have serious ethical issues due to their stock dealings. Insider trading is not a good image to project to the voters. So Trump wants the Republicans to ignore their own issues, i.e. how to convince voters to elect two corrupt Republicans in runoff elections in January and to focus instead on his campaign to convince the country that the presidential election was stolen by the Democrats. I'm not sure if that is going to work.
Then we have Mr. O'Keefe and his "Veritas" organization back for a little mischief with the postal worked claiming that he heard his local postmaster and another employee discussing how they had intended to incorrectly postmark a ballot but had screwed up. Now stop and consider the stupidity of that claim for a second. If one were engaged in back-postdating ballot envelopes would you be discussing that in a place where others could overhear you? Would you be agonizing about how you screwed and correctly postmarked one of the ballots? Why? What purpose would there be to having that discussion?
Postal inspectors now claim that the postal worker has retracted his claim but he claims he has not. O'Keefe says he has a recording of the interviews with the inspectors. You may recall that Mr. O'Keefe has been convicted of tampering with video and audio in the past. If he produces one here, I do hope that the postal inspectors carefully examine it to see just how reliable it is.
If one looks at the number of votes Trump would have to invalidate there simply is not a path for him to accomplish the task. But what he is doing to destroying whatever confidence people have in our system of elections, just as he has destroyed whatever confidence people had in how our government functions. All to make himself look good [or so he thinks].

Your last point is historically interesting in that the last defeated President to be this uncooperative to his successor was Hoover in 1933. As a result the inauguration date was subsequently changed from former date of March 4th to the present January 20th.
Good points Juanjo.
When I look over Trump's life and the mess he has put the country through to reach his present state of infamy, I'm reminded of one of my favorite sayings from 4 years of high school Latin. Karma's a bitch. haha He got away with a lot in the past. But now it's all catching up to him and people are seeing him for who he is.
Nulla avaritia sine poena est.

Exactly Another1!
Penalty or "poena" can also be translated as punishment. haha I'm expecting more than just a speeding ticket for Trump. I'm thinking maybe even some time in the slammer. We'll get schooled in a while as to what the universe has in mind for him.

Don't know about y'all but I am very much amused that Miss Lindsey-Belle Graham has gotten her titty in the ringer over that little phone call she made to the Georgia Secretary of States.
Yes we can only hope it is the beginning of the end for Lady G. Back when he was John McCain’s wing man I thought he had a vain of decency, alas I was wrong. The very worst sort of political whore/hypocrite.

Sad but true. The consensus appears to be that President Bone Spurs Draft Dodging Trump lost Arizona due to his disrespectful treatment of war hero John McCain. Former friend of McCain Lindsey should learn from that example.

Looks a little like his face is melting a bit like the wicked witch. Trump needs to loan him his makeup person.
I would like to think the future situation in the mainstream Republican party is not as dire, anti-democratic (small case 'd') anti-constitutional and authoritarian as this video suggests. The tone is pretty harsh. But I do agree that it's a fair warning of what could happen.
It will forever be known that the first attempt at a dictatorship in the United States of America was aided, abetted and enabled not by those supposed "pinko, commie, socialist. tree hugging liberal Democrats", etc.... But by none other than the Republican "bedrock conservative", "family values", always looking out for the wellbeing of vulnerable children, (whether they are born or unborn)...always law-abiding and rule abiding, Constitution loving, fiscal discipline disciples, military loving, ["Pussies, losers, suckers...""What was in it for them?" (Who served and died in war.)]...God fearing and more morally straight, always faithful in marriage, the "most" religious and therefore favored and loved by God so much more than the heathen liberals. Those who supposedly would like to turn the country into a communist dictatorship of the far left any time they dare suggest that access to decent affordable healthcare for children and adults should be a right of citizenship.
The institutional national Republican party has a whole lot of soul-searching to do.
And I'm not referring to just the hard working and trusting people who happened to vote these morally bankrupt Republican clowns into office.
Right now the marquee above the national headquarters of the RNC might just as well say:
Dik-taters "R" Us!!
