This man is delusional.
That pivotal moment came in April when he declared “when somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total and that is the way it’s gonna be. It’s total. It’s total.

Trump claimed on Thursday that if Biden is elected, there would be “no fossil fuels, which means, basically, no energy,” warned that cities would need to be rebuilt “because too much light gets through the windows … let’s rip down the Empire State Building,” “no airplanes,” few cars, and suggested: “They don’t want to have cows, they don’t want to have any form of animals.”

Trump Admitted He’s Sabotaging the USPS to Screw Up the Election

In an interview with the New York Post Trump passed out maps of the 2016 results in New York State, showing that most of the state’s counties voted for him. This is somewhat akin to a president conflating wins in the geographic expanses of Wyoming and the Dakotas with overall popular-vote success — which, of course, Trump does all the time.
It’s worth remembering that Trump made a similar claim in 2016.
“I think we will win New York,” he said in Indiana in April 2016. “I really do.”
He did not. He lost the state by more than 22 points.
