Trump suggests to Varney that Dems "spying" on him in 2016 would justify his not conceding in 2020

He doesn't say that in so many words, but it's clear Varney gets the implication.

Aaron Rupar tweet with video from the Trump interview on Fox Business this morning:

So when he claims any one of these predetermined fraud reasons, & sends it to his Federalist friends at the SC to decide, as in Bush vs Gore, He'll be Prez forever.

Art of the Con.

Plus, his concession or lack thereof really doesn't matter. He can go to his grave refusing to concede the election but once the count is in and, more importantly, once the Electors have met and cast their votes, his term in office ends on 01/20/2021. Period.

That would be all those voices in his head I suppose. Even Stuart Varney had a hard time keeping a straight face during that interview.
