You beat me to it. He's damn good at it.
-
Actually, he's not. He's quite transparent. You either have to be pretty stupid or really want to believe this shit.
-
I agree, Trump's gaslighting is transparent. That doesn't make it less effective. GOP are increasingly authoritarian in mindset. They've pledged themselves to this charlatan. So most are willingly do the mental gymnastics required to believe every lie he spews.pic.twitter.com/grQUHTmwvS

Every time Republicans commit to another bald-faced lie, they invested a little more in the big lie, too. Humans do this in all walks of life. We stay in relationships that don't work too long because we've invested time and energy.
-
We stay in jobs we hate & throw good money after bad because we don't want to be wrong about the initial investment. We don't want to give up on the investment.
-
So maybe the obvious truth is that a majority of Republicans are willing to put aside the truth and spread lies they know to be lies. They've already invested a lot into this scam. They're not giving up on it, even if it beggars the country and ruins their children's futures.

Yes, all you’ve said is true. We’ve seen this from the elected Republican officials as well. Question is, how does one get out of this mess? There’s some amount of personal pain involved and tamping of the ego required

So, translating this to English from Bizarro World Trumpspeak, what he's actually saying is, Russia is planning to interfere so the RETHUGLICANS will win.

Foreshadowing for future losses in midterms. Trump is preparing to call foul. Absurd yes but also quite suspect to his train of thought and actions to change an outcome.

He's setting up an excuse for the Democratic win at midterms. There's something really diabolical about him, isn't there?

He’s preparing for Dem landslide and will call every win into question. First seed of a new chapter in the narrative.

Trump's being "hard on Russians", is a classic Roy Cohn tactic (Sen. McCarthy's lawyer,who Trump admires and imitates). Cohn believed if you're aggressive with your lies it will confuse and confound opponents. Let's see if Donald succeeds. TrumpnikAnyone!!!
