The morning after Donald Trump returned to frontline politics with a speech in North Carolina, a close adviser poured cold water on his reported belief that he will be reinstated in the White House when it is proved Joe Biden beat him thanks to electoral fraud.

Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s first campaign manager in 2016 and a loyal sidekick since, told Fox News Sunday Trump “lost the election”.

Indeed he did, by more than 7m ballots in the popular vote and by 306-232 in the electoral college, a result Trump called a landslide when it was in his favour against Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Experts agree there was no mass voter fraud in 2020. Nonetheless, according to multiple reports Trump has told aides he believes he will be reinstated.

Lewandowski said he had “spoke to the president dozens, if not more than 100 times since he has left the White House and I have never had that conversation about him being reinstated”.

1. Trump's drama is a useful distraction to the GOP

but whether it's deliberate or just mental illness I don't know.

Democrats had best move on to defending democracy and voting rights and 2022 than to wallow in reinstatement paranoia because it ain't gonna happen.

3. He knows he's out for good, but he also knows it doesn't hurt to create the buzz anyways ...

... maybe work up one more chip to bargain with to stay out of Leavenworth.
