Seriously, Mr Trump?!?

In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

Three possibilities:
1) Drunk Tweeting
2) He really is this insecure (in which case he really shouldn't have his finger on the nuclear button)
3) He means the Afro-American, Hispanic, LGBT, Muslim and Jewish votes, or maybe just anyone who didn't vote Donald J Trump
4) All of the above.

In all cases, worrying.

Also, the strategy of "make the people who listen to me as suspicious of everyone else in the government as possible so that they only listen to me."

Not just worrying. Terrifying. Hate crimes have already increased. This is just going to get worse.

Yeah. That.

4) All of the above.

5) His usual strategy of encouraging a climate of fear in which he looks like the only sane and honest person who can steer white America through the storm of greedy, clawing, conniving women and Jews and non-white people who are trying to drag it down.

......I know what all of those words mean, but in that order, they make no sense. What. What even.

It's gone beyond drunk tweeting. I heard it on the news this morning that he's officially asked for a voter recount in three states where Hillary Clinton won: California, Virginia, and ... New Hampshire (I think?).

Apparently, it's a major case of sour grapes, because he's falling behind in the popular vote (according to that same report, Clinton is now ahead by just over 2 million), and he... can't stand it that there are people out there who don't love him the way he says they do ???

I won't call it narcissism, because I don't want to throw actual narcissistic people under the bus. But I will blame his intensely privileged life: living inside a bubble so opaque that a thirteen-year old on Tumblr seems downright cosmopolitan in comparison.

Do you think he's getting worried about the official recounts requested by the Green Party in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, and attempting to poison any potential change from that in advance?

[capri0mni]

Oh, yes. Definitely.

Contrary to rhetoric / mockery from the Left during the campaign, I am certain he is neither stupid nor "crazy" (which is why I will not use words like "narcissistic" or "Sociopathic" in reference to him).

Rather, I think he is highly intelligent, and ruthlessly manipulative, which is what makes him so terrifying to me.
