Trump Needs A Close Election In November If....

he's going to claim that the election was rigged and contest it.

Right now things are looking bad for Trump and that the vote might be overwhelmingly pro Biden.

So everything Trump is doing now is to speak to his deplorable supporters and make sure he maintains their votes so that if he does lose - he could come within a very close margin to Biden.

So he wants to make sure that they will come out and vote and not sit the election out or vote for Biden.

This 'beating Covid' image he's trying to portray - plays into his strategy now for November.

He really doesn't have anything else to campaign on in these waning days before Nov. 3rd.

Both seem like very tough hills to climb for him at this point. And right now it seems like he's working against himself in both areas.

...he’ll claim “massive vote fraud” no matter what the results (assuming, of course, he loses). The bigger the margin, the more “proof” that it was rigged!
