I haven't watched the bit yet, tomorrow I'll have time, but from the headline I have 0 surprise.
Trump built his entire campaign around Biden, and without it he literally cannot create an argument. Everything is failing against Kamala because she's legitimately a better candidate in most every way compared to him, and I think he knows it. He was a one issue candidate - not Biden. He doesn't know what to do.
I also wonder (and maybe Jon goes into this), if it's a mental thing now for him. He couldn't stand that Biden won, beat him. So he wanted a rematch. By stepping down gracefully Biden had the last laugh. He can never lose to trump. Trump has only lost to him. Since I doubt he's in therapy and knows how to manage these emotions, it is no surprise that he can't stop fixating on him
Trump keeps insisting that he defeated Biden too fast this time: beat him before the votes were even cast by winning so hard in the first debate.
So yes, it's exactly what you said: Trump knows that he never gets to legitimately claim victory over Biden, so he's delusionally claiming it anyway with any rationale he can come up with.
and may he keep doing that while we all vote for Kamala
and anyway, Trump didn’t beat Biden; old age did.
