Republicans enabled Trump for four years of course he s betraying them in the 11th hour Salon 12/23/2020 Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell Photo illustration by Salon/Getty Images Trump likely thinks he s blackmailing McConnell into stealing the election for him. While we have no direct proof this is an extortion scheme, the circumstantial evidence is abundant and compelling. Here s what we know: Trump really does believe that Republicans know some super secret method for nullifying the election he just lost, and that they re just not revealing it to him for some reason. In reality, Republicans probably would help him steal the election if they could, but they can t. But Trump refuses to accept this so he is constantly wheedling GOP officials to do more and whining publicly that they re holding out on him. He s even considering canceling a Mar-A-Lago trip and staying in D.C. for Christmas, probably because he s talked himself into believing he can strike a deal to nullify the election.
