Trump is still flogging the lie that Michigan can’t certify the election.
If you’re not on twitter, you’ve have blessedly missed the cascade of lies like that hour after hour. It’s even more disturbing than usual.
The strategy, to the extent there is one, appears to be to file lawsuits and demand recounts as they simultaneously pressure local Republicans in various states to buy into their tactic of crying voter fraud without evidence and refuse to certify the results. I suspect Trump is still counting on his handpicked Supreme Court to throw the election to him if it gets that far.
And all of it is Trump’s patented method of handling his failures — throw up a bunch of smoke, harass everyone involved and try to make it not worth their while to hold him accountable. He’s not living in the real world this time, of course. It’s not going to happen. But his fallback is to keep his cult excited and engaged even if he leaves office by perpetuating the lie that he actually won and was denied the office by the Deep State and the Swamp. I’m sure there’s money in it.
