Contradicting Trump

Trump's words of past two days
Donald Trump's words on Thanksgiving included the following:

"Certainly I will, and you know that," Trump said when asked by a reporter about leaving the White House if Biden is declared the winner on December 14. "I will and, you know that."
"It's going to be a very hard thing to concede because we know there was massive fraud," Trump said without evidence.
"As to whether or not we can get this apparatus moving quickly -- because time isn't on our side, everything else is on our side, facts are on our side, this was a massive fraud."
The President falsely added that if Biden is declared the winner, the Electoral College, "made a mistake, cause this election was a fraud."

Today, Trump tweeted
Trump irrationally inviting increased retaliation
Trump will soon lose the supreme power and protections of the Presidency.

After that happens, the legal, political, economic and social retaliation against Trump and his family for the damage Trump has inflicted on America will likely be huge.

What Trump has been doing since November 3rd will invite increased retaliation. 

Trump's current pardoning activity is particularly inviting of future retaliation against Trump and his family.

Trump seems irrational in his inviting increased retaliation against him and his family after he loses the supreme power and protections of the Presidency.

Four years of Trump has taught that Trump does whatever he wants, whether it is rational or irrational from the perspective of his self-interest. There is no dissuading Trump from an irrational course of action on which he has decided.

Trump's above words in the past two days will invite increased retaliation against Trump after he loses the power and protections of the Presidency.

Retaliation can commence by prominent parties contradicting Trump's words.

Trump's supporters
Many of Trump's supporters are aware of his irrationality, but remain silent.

Other Trump supporters speak in ways that encourage Trump in his irrationality.

Mo Brooks is one of Trump's supporters who encourages Trump's recent irrationality, per the below tweet: 

 Supporters like Mo Brooks need to be called out for their support of Trump's irrationality.

Voter reliance on election machinery
Election machinery in the United States is ponderous, diverse and a work in progress.
Tens of thousands of government officials and citizens strive mightily to make the machinery work well.
We vote in reliance on and trust of these officials and citizens and the hard work they do and the machinery they have in place for the voters to have a democratic election.
An election loser cannot afterwards contend the election machinery on which the voters relied in having the election should have been different machinery or operated differently, and, based on such contention, get the election invalidated or get the loser declared the winner contrary to the results that were produced.
That does not prevent the loser or anyone else from seeking to get the election machinery changed for future elections.
