Yes but
@juliaioffe brilliantly shows how versions of theory #1 (Trump’s vanity prevents him from admitting his presidency is illegitimate) & #3 (Putin is blackmailing Trump) are also compatible: He’s terrified Putin will say he did steal the election! https://www.gq.com/story/what-putin-has-on-trump … -
Also, fears about election legitimacy don’t explain other defenses of Putin outside of election meddling. Examples (1) Malaysian Airlines (2) Alexander Litvinenko poisoning These defenses are nearly identical to Trump defense of Putin at Helsinki.pic.twitter.com/sU7ThvOuif
