No, he probably knows this is America’s pivot point, and there will be no real election going forward.
As such, this is the way to make sure he is included in the special group of non-contested elite’s, in any future fake elections, or in the event there are not even SOVIET style show elections.
I would say all of these are jockeying for perminant seats in the global socialist “inner sanctum”.
They clearly aren’t betting on America.
I’ll believe the election was fair if I ever start believing in the tooth fairy.
