Trumps ego needs a reason to explain his impending loss. He is delusional.

My guess is that graylocks is right and he is trying to form the basis of "I didn't lose, they stole it from me". Also, I think he has learned that saying this stuff gets him lots of attention.

Conning the paranoids.

His ego requires an excuse for what his conscious mind knows is his probable defeat. Absent an excuse, his ego would disintegrate (literally).

"Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of understanding of others' feelings."
Signs and symptoms
People with narcissistic personality disorder are characterized by their persistent grandiosity, excessive need for admiration, and a disdain and lack of empathy for others. These individuals often display arrogance, a sense of superiority, and power-seeking behaviors. Narcissistic personality disorder is different from having a strong sense of self-confidence. This is because people with NPD typically value themselves over others to the extent that they disregard the feelings and wishes of others and expect to be treated as superior regardless of their actual status or achievements. In addition, people with NPD may exhibit fragile egos, an inability to tolerate criticism, and a tendency to belittle others in an attempt to validate their own superiority."
"Narcissistic individuals use various strategies to protect the self at the expense of others. They tend to devalue, derogate, insult, blame others and they often respond to threatening feedback with anger and hostility."
"Therapy is often difficult as people frequently do not consider themselves to have a problem."

I should has known it was NPD, but I quit going down that road in my thinking when I thought of "paranoid."
