I haven't seen this possibility considered (perhaps hit has been, but I missed it). Trump has a lot to gain from election fraud claims. Not only if he was worried about losing, but also as a means towards increasing his power. A lot of people now support him leveraging unilateral executive powers, like executive orders, the insurrection act, public executions, and martial law.

I'm not making a claim one way or the other about the validity of this theory, but I think it deserves some consideration.

Please discuss! And try to be civil, ya filthy animals.
