"He's just joking."

In other words, Schrodinger's Asshole.

But here we are, this asshole has a wide amount of deference because he is the figurehead of the racist, nationalist movement that has always been enfranchised in America. The Electoral College, the Senate, all of it gives outsize influence to the people he represents. They are essentially the heirs apparent of the plantation owner class that had to be appeased in order to even form the United States.

So we need to mount up this fall for sure. The defeat must be not only in the voting booth but socially too. Supporting President Klan Robe should make you a pariah in decent society. Removing these people from your life is probably the only meaningful consequence many of them will see.

It speaks to his narcissism that Trump has always claimed, starting in the run up to 2016, that if he doesn’t win, it’s because the election was rigged. I love that Biden’s spokesman called Trump a loser. Nothing will get under his skin as much as pointing out that life-long fact: multiple bankruptcies, lost lawsuits, minority popular vote results. BTW, he looked like shit at that Dayton rally. Tired and unfocused. Plenty of Dem ads possible from that one rally.
