Why Is Donald Trump Whining About a Rigged Election? Mark Cuban Has an Interesting Theory.

[EricMaundry]

Mark Cuban has a theory about Donald Trump. “I can’t think of a single benefit to him of offering the excuse that the election is rigged,” Cuban told me. “But who I can think of a benefit to is Breitbart.”

The CEO of Trump’s campaign, Steve Bannon, is the former executive chairman of Breitbart’s parent company.

“When you think about it, if he loses and the election is rigged, it’s the ultimate story,” Cuban, the Dallas Mavericks owner and onetime Trump buddy who has been one of the GOP nominee’s most vociferous critics this cycle, continued. “ ‘We were there when the election was rigged, we had behind-the-scenes access. Come to Breitbart, come to our Breitbart TV online.’ ”

Basically, Cuban said, Bannon is working Trump.

“I literally think Steve and his crew is smarter than Donald, they’re using him, this will go down in history as the one time one of the two party presidential candidates has been played and played like a puppet,” he said.

1. Seems pretty clear it's narcissism.

He can't admit someone got the better of him. He can't admit defeat. His psyche literally can't handle it.

2. That explains the whining but not the timing

If he started whining after the election, that would make sense.

But why whine preemptively?

Cuban's thought might explain that. Advertise now while you have those huge debate audiences. Can't reach as many eyeballs afterwards.

3. He was whining in the GOP primaries too...

Trump is a walking freak show of psychiatric maladies, but the reflex whine is one of his biggest tells that he is not alright mentally.
There is no shame in having mental imbalances, and he should have sought treatment decades ago, but his behavior cannot be understood through the prism of a rational and chemically balanced mind, period.

5. It's also hard to pivot from being a terrible person nt

7. Wealth is a tremendous enabler

12. drumpf is a walking Whine Machine.

4. Polls. He can see the scoreboard. He's being treated as a loser.

That psychologically injures him, because he's that insecure.

6. But it's easy to attack polls

Attacking the integrity of voting is something else entirely

[geek tragedy]

8. At some level he knows he's losing nt

10. The defenses of a narcissist can be incredibly sturdy.

He might really believe that the election is being stolen, because to think otherwise threatens his core idea of himself.

9. Narcissists can be easy to manipulate, like Bannon is probably doing.

Bannon is feeding the narcissist his "narcissistic supply." You are the hero of the world, says Bannon, it's just that the election is being stolen from you.

11. Puppet twice: Bannon & Putin double teamed him like a porn star.

13. That does makes sense, too.. drumpf wants Hillary to be seen as

an illegitimate POTUS.. like he tried to do with Obama.

If he can convince his fans it was rigged then he didn't really lose did he? He's the potus in exile. fucking narcissistic, infantile babbling, buffoon.
